"And whoever welcomes a little child like
this in my name welcomes me."
Matthew 18:5
YOUR YOUTH!
YOUR ENTHUSIASM!
YOUR ENERGY!
YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE LORD!
YOUR DESIRE TO LEAD THE LITTLE ONES TO HIM!
These are the qualities that will enable you to serve as a "Christian Youth in Action®" in Lancaster County under the direction of Child Evangelism Fellowship.®
God is using Christian youth as missionaries to America's 50 million unchurched children! Across the nation over 3,000 young people trained by Child Evangelism Fellowship's
Christian Youth in Action program
are telling the story of God's love.
Unreached children need to hear about Jesus. Two thirds of Lancaster County's 80,000 plus children never attend church or Sunday school. Many have never even heard the Gospel.
- Christian children need encouragement in their walk with God.
WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?
Presenting the Gospel to boys and girls through 5-Day Clubs.® 5-Day Clubs are held in neighborhoods, backyards, porches, living rooms, churches, parks - - wherever there are children. You will be involved with these children in presenting Bible lessons, missionary stories and leading them in singing and review games.
WHAT TRAINING WILL YOU HAVE?
A two week intensive training program is held by Child Evangelism Fellowship of PA. This will equip
you to carry out all that is included in a 5-Day Club.
You will learn how to teach a Bible lesson which will include the Gospel message, an invitation,
and a main truth for the saved children within your club. Music, review games and teaching a
Bible verse effectively will also be a part of your training. All of this will be helpful in any
future ministry to which you may be called.
CEF ® will provide the training.
WILL YOU BE PAID?
You will be asked to help raise your support by contacting friends, relatives,
church members or other interested persons or groups. CEF will help you format your letter and
do the mailing for you upon the completion of your letter. You will be paid a salary for 7 weeks;
