For over 75 years God has been using Child Evangelism Fellowship® to bring the love of Jesus Christ to children around the world. The Word of God puts a high priority on children. They are near to God’s heart and we believe that He is uniquely concerned about their spiritual welfare. Without the foundation of a relationship with God and training in Biblical principles for life they are unequipped to face what life will throw at them.
With workers in countries around the world, CEF® had personal, individual ministry with more than 19.9 million children last year. God has given us a passion to not only bring children into a right relationship with God, but to disciple them in His Word and establish them in Bible teaching churches so that they can become mature in their faith.
I am convinced that there is no work that is more pertinent or effective. Perhaps God is leading you to become more involved in the lives of children, for His kingdom’s sake.
CEF is here to train, equip and encourage you as you follow that leading. I trust that this web site will be a rich resource for you and that God will use you in a tremendous way to make an eternal difference in the lives of boys and girls.
For His Name among the children,

The Vision of CEF |
|
Every Child, Every Nation, Every Day
The vision of Child Evangelism Fellowship is to reach children every day in every nation so that every child has the opportunity to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ and receive Him as their Lord and Savior. While this vision may seem large, it is done by ordinary people reaching out to children in their own communities. Our chapter has the vision and commission to reach the children of Venango, Forest and Clarion counties with the love of Christ Jesus.
There are around 6,000 children between the ages of 5 & 14 in our three counties. By partnering with local churches and individual Christians, we are reaching out to these children through Good News Clubs® , 5-Day Clubs® , Bucktails Good News Camp, and other community events. Last year, we touched the lives of 769 children. We are grateful for the ability to do this, but there are many more children to reach! There are additional communities where clubs can be held, other fairs and community events to attend where children can learn of Jesus.
Part of reaching children is training teenagers and adults to share the Gospel on a child’s level, to apply Bible lessons to children’s lives, to teach Scripture verses so the children understand the meaning, and so much more. As teens and adults are trained, children are effectively reached! Whether they are volunteering in a CEF club or in their own churches, we are grateful for the many who have received training and are now actively leading children to Christ.
It has been said that children are the moms, dads, and community leaders of tomorrow. If they receive Jesus when they are young and are discipled in living life by God’s principles, they will grow into adults who honor the Lord and will lead our nation well. Please join us by praying, giving, and/or volunteering.
