Child Evangelism Fellowship Also Cares About…

• Discipling Children 
  Children must be established (discipled) in their Christian lives through the Word of God. They need to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
• Establishing children in Bible-believing churches 
  Evangelized children need to be in the local church where they can continue growing on a regular basis. In this way, CEF^® serves the church and assists in the goal of church growth.
• Involving other Christians in ministry to children 
  CEF®’s greatest need is for those who will see the fields which are “white unto harvest” and become involved in this outreach to children of the world.
