Support Ministry
Some churches choose to partner with us by supporting the ministry as part of their missions’ budget. There is a huge need in our community to bring the Gospel to children. Join us by making a lasting impact in Southern Illinois for many local children who desperately needs Jesus.
5-Day Clubs
Engaging, exciting, and entertaining! Summer ministry is filled with Gospel-centered teaching, songs, games, prizes, and snacks. By partnering with us to host 5-Day Clubs, you are able to target areas in your community where many children gather. We send trained teens to lead and teach clubs and share the Gospel with the kids in your neighborhood. This is a great way to get your church involved in the community around you.
Good News Club
Good News Club ® is a great way to reach children in your community and at the elementary school with the Gospel. GNC is a 90-minute program immediately after school. Club includes Bible teaching for both saved and unsaved children. Children learn about God's great love for them through interactive Bible lessons, memory verses, a clear presentation of the Gospel, songs, games, prizes, snacks. There is small group time that allows church members to actively engage in the discipleship process.
Christian Youth In Action
It is our desire to develop leaders by challenging high school and college age students to grow in their relationship with Jesus. CEF trains and equip students to share the Gospel with children. We do this through a program called Christian Youth in Action (CYIA). During a week long training CEF of Illinois trains students to teach Bible lessons, memory verse lessons, share the Gospel clearly, lead a child to Christ, and also allows students the space to truly connect with God. After training CYIA students are able to conduct outreaches in their community that are sponsored by CEF during the summer, called 5-Day Clubs. CYIA missionary training also equips them for other mission opportunities both here and abroad. They also become an asset for your church lead children’s ministry!
