Children’s Ministries

CEF has many different ministries to reach children, but the primary ones are the Good News Club and the 5-Day Club.

The Good News Club and 5-Day Club ministries take place in

neighborhood settings such as homes, backyards, schools and community centers and churches all over the world. These fast-paced, one-one & half hour programs are designed to bring the Gospel of Christ to children on their level in their environment.

Along with these clubs, CEF also has local fair, camp, and internet ministries for children. Last year through these combined ministries over 16.4 million children worldwide heard the Good News.

Good News Club

This club meets weekly during the school year. Children participate in Bible lessons, songs, Scripture memory, review games and other activities. Evangelizing and discipling children are the primary goals.

What is a Good News Club?

The Good News Club is a weekly, one hour Bible club for children ages 5-12 that includes a Bible lesson with an evangelistic or discipleship emphasis, action-packed songs, life changing memory verses, and fun exciting games that reinforce the truth of the Bible lesson.

Where Does a Good News Club meet?

Good News Clubs meet in the neighbourhood where children live. They meet most often in the friendly atmosphere of a home. Good News Clubs also meet at community centres, churches or most anywhere children will gather together.

Who teaches a Good News Club?

Christians who are concerned for boys and girls work together volunteering their time to teach Good News Clubs. They are trained by Child Evangelism Fellowship to have a club that is exciting and informative so that children will want to keep coming. Teachers sign the CEF Statement of Faith and agree to abide by the policies of the organization.

What can a Good News Club do for my neighbourhood?

A Good News Club can identify a home in the neighbourhood that is safe for a child to go to in time of trouble. It brings the teaching of biblical morality to his neighbourhood. It connects the child and his family to others where they live developing a good community spirit. When you leave your home on Sunday to go to church, others in your neighbourhood know you are religious. When you teach children in your neighbourhood God’s Word, your neighbourhood learns what you believe.

Fair Ministry

The local fair is an ideal opportunity to minister to people in the community! Each year, CEF goes to country fairs, festivals and exhibitions to share the message of salvation through the Wordless Book and Bible stories.

Fairgoers of all ages are given the opportunity to receive Christ as their Savior at the fair, and many people’s lives have been impacted by this ministry over the years.

Will you be a part of what the Lord is doing at the fair? There is a need for workers to volunteer to tell the Wordless Book or Bible Story, simply invite people walking by to hear the story, or just be an adult presence to supervise.

Five Day Club

This club is held during the summer months for five consecutive days. Children gather to hear Bible lessons and a missionary story. They join in fun games and other activities. The primary thrust of these summer clubs is evangelistic, though Christian growth teaching is included as well.

What is a 5-Day Club?

5-Day Club is an exciting, fun-filled hour held each day for five consecutive days. It includes:

dynamic Bible lessons
creative learning activities
inspiring missionary story
meaningful songs
life-changing Scripture memory.

Who can attend?

5-Day Club is open to all boys and girls between the ages of five and twelve, regardless of religious background. You are welcome to attend the club with your child.

Who teaches a 5-Day Club?

Christians who are concerned for the spiritual well-being of your child teach the club. These teachers have received specialized training from CEF®.

Is there a cost?

There is no charge for your child to attend. An optional missionary offering will be taken each day.

Short Term Missions

Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) has a ministry presence all over the globe and offers you frontline experience impacting children with the gospel of Christ.

Through this opportunity, you will get to experience challenging situations in which you will be stretched. God will use you, as you spend time each day being with Him and going for Him to the nations.

We will update here for any upcoming missions!

School Club

These clubs take place on school premises where children are already gathered. These are similar to Good News Clubs, and focus on evangelism, discipleship and character development.

Mailbox Club

The Mailbox Club™ is a Bible correspondence club which can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Bible lessons are sent by mail to the students. Through these lessons they learn the great truths of the Bible.

As a means of on-going support and follow-up, we encourage the children that attend our programs to enrol in the Mailbox Club™.
