151 Kids & 27 Professions of Faith!
I want to thank you for your support of Child Evangelism Fellowship. I can’t tell you how excited I am to be a part of this truly life-changing organization. My wife Nancy and I have been involved with CEF this past year. We continue to pour our hearts into this organization because we continue to see fantastic results.
I got involved with CEF because I see the government becoming more and more hostile towards Christianity in our public schools. CEF is way for Christians to reach out to kids who face the front lines of this battle every day. When things are tough at home, school, or with friends these kids can know they always have a friend in Jesus, and a safe place they can go after school to build strength in our Lord.
We continue to see new kids at Good News Clubs each week. In the few months since school started we have already seen 151 kids attending Good News Clubs in Santa Barbara County! These are kids that may not ever have an opportunity to go to a church, to go to a VBS program, or attend a Christian camp. We have an amazing opportunity because we are in the public schools to reach those kids who desperately need Jesus! That’s awesome!
I’m even more excited because we have already had 27 professions of faith in Jesus! That’s 27 changed lives and have these kids up for a lifetime of walking with the Lord ahead.
In Proverbs it says that we should raise a child up in the ways of the Lord and that when he (or she) is old, he (or she!) won’t depart from it. We have also seen many kids that make professions of faith then go home and because of their faith their parents come to faith, start going to church, and then a whole family is saved!
That’s why I’m asking you to join Nancy and me in being a part of this life-changing ministry.
