This Sunday, Rebecca shares a verse she has in her office: And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” Mark 16:15 (ESV)

This summer, God worked in powerful ways through 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘯 𝘈𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯® in Chicago! 47 teens and leaders served across Chicago, leading 69 clubs with 1,056 children in attendance. We praise God that 98 children trusted Jesus as Savior! The CYIAers’ testimonies show how God was at work in their lives too: ✨ “𝘊𝘠𝘐𝘈 helped me find peace in sharing the gospel one-on-one by knowing the Holy Spirit will give me knowledge.” ✨ “𝘊𝘠𝘐𝘈 brought me back to the real reason why I decided to follow Jesus—to spread His love and His message to others.” ✨ “The fellowship and community here is out of this world.” God also provided in unexpected ways—when several 5-𝘋𝘢𝘺 𝘊𝘭𝘶𝘣 hosts canceled, the team prayed and watched Him open just the right doors, allowing old friends and church relationships to step up and host last minute clubs. More than 100 children heard the Gospel during these “last minute clubs.” As we look ahead, we’re excited for how God will continue to use 𝘊𝘌𝘍 of Chicago to help children and families know His love. Thank you for praying and giving so that the gospel can continue to go forth in Chicago!

At 𝘊𝘌𝘍, one of our favorite traditions is Flag Raising—a time when our staff gathers to pray over chapters around the world. This week, we had the privilege of lifting up Australia in prayer. We’re grateful for these moments to unite as a team and intercede for the nations. #FlagRaising #CEFFamily #GlobalImpact #PrayerMatters

It's Scripture Sunday! Nancy says she received this sign as a gift when she first started working at 𝘊𝘌𝘍 Headquarters. It's taken from Mark 9:23 which says, "And Jesus said to him, “‘If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes.”
