Ministry in Action

IMPACT Magazine Summer 2025

For 88 years, Child Evangelism Fellowship® has shared the Good News of Jesus with children around the world. All our ministries focus on making disciples, and the first step is to bring them to a saving faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Once children are saved, they need to grow in their relationship with God. At CEF®, children are encouraged to grow by serving the Lord and they are taught how to share their faith through our ministries.

Our Ministries

Good News Club®

Good News Club ministries take place in neighborhood settings such as homes, schools and community centers all over the world and are designed to bring the Gospel of Christ to children on their level in their environment.

5-Day Club®

In June all across the USA thousands of young people are trained to conduct 5-Day Clubs. Throughout the summer they have many opportunities to present the Gospel to boys and girls, experiencing the joy of leading others to the Lord.

Christmas Party Clubs™

Many children today don’t regularly attend church and have never heard the true meaning of Christmas. Wouldn’t it be great if thousands of children learned about the Christ of Christmas this year?

Camp Good News®

The international Camp Good News program has been an active part of the ministry of CEF throughout the years. Using CEF owned or rented facilities, trained staff maintain an exciting program focused on evangelism and discipleship.

Military Children’s Ministry

Military life can be difficult for all involved. Children in military families need people in their lives to anchor them in Jesus Christ, the Rock of Ages. A Good News Club held in a home or school in a military neighborhood provides stability and life-changing truth.

Junior Youth Challenge®

Junior Youth Challenge is an evangelistic and discipleship ministry for young people ages 11-14. This ministry bridges the gap between Good News Club and the Christian Youth In Action program and encourages young people to go on to serve in CEF ministry through CYIA™.

FIND A LOCAL CHAPTER NEAR YOU

CEF’s mission reaches children around the world through dedicated local chapters. These chapters offer Christ-centered programs and activities that equip children with the Gospel message and help them develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

  • Happy Scripture Sunday! When you walk into the Finance Department at 𝘊𝘌𝘍 IHQ, you will see Becky's door covered in scripture. Today, she is sharing one verse from the "Salt and Light" beatitude. She wrote it on a light bulb full of salt-- what a good reminder! Matthew 5:13 says, "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.” #Scripture #CEF
  • Today we’re checking in on 𝘊𝘌𝘍 of Florida’s Heartland! This summer was full of opportunities to share the Good News. Through 5-𝘋𝘢𝘺 𝘊𝘭𝘶𝘣, dozens of children heard about Jesus, including 53 at just one location. Local Director, Hugo Pinto shares, "We are grateful for the teens who faithfully served and poured their energy into reaching children during the summer months.” As 𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘕𝘦𝘸𝘴 𝘊𝘭𝘶𝘣 begins again this school year, the team is already seeing God at work. One school’s administration considered pausing its 𝘎𝘕𝘊, but by God’s grace it continues this year. Volunteers from that club stayed connected with kids over the summer by sending them cards and a sponsoring church donated 116 backpacks to bless families and students at the school. The Heartland Chapter asks for your prayers that clubs will thrive this year, children will be reached with the Gospel, and families will see God’s love through the faithful ministry of volunteers. If you’d like your chapter to be highlighted on our social media, email corporate.communications@cefonline.com with your photos and story.

When I was four years old my mom opened our home to a Good News Club®. Though Mom was not saved, she would sit in the club each week and listen as the lesson was taught. One day after club I told my mom I wanted to be saved. My unsaved mom led me to the Lord, repeating what she had heard in club each week. Soon after that Mom was saved too. Today there are about 15 different family members in some form of Christian ministry—pastor, missionary, etc.

When I was only three, I was led to the Lord by my brother who’d been trained in a Teaching Children Effectively courseTM. A couple of years later I started going to 5-Day Club® and Good News Club® then attended Christian Youth in Action® (CYIATM) and began teaching at age 12. After six fruitful years of summer ministry as a student and one as staff, I was excited to be called into the ministry full time and be following God’s path for my life.

I started to attend Good News Club® in Sioux City, Iowa when I was about four years old. My older brother went, and I liked to go along. I so clearly remember our teacher, dear Mrs. Dora Lock and her helper Betty Ritchie. She had GNC® in the basement of her home. I remember the day she had the lesson on the crucifixion like it was yesterday. She talked about how Jesus died to pay the price for our sins and all we had to do was believe on Him and accept His free gift. I was ready to accept him that day! I attended for several years and the Scripture that I memorized and the songs we sang have stuck with me to this day. I am forever grateful for my time spent in GNC and am loving being part of it again.
