At our CEF Autumn Conference, we shared this video showing the work being carried out at Seaview following the landslide.
It’s a look at the ongoing efforts to repair the damage and work towards restoring the site.
Please continue to pray for everyone involved in the repair work, for wisdom as decisions are made, and for Seaview as we look ahead to the future.

“Don’t stop!” A timely reminder from our Autumn conference for everyone involved in sharing the Gospel with children.

Thank you to Rev. Robert McCollum for challenging us to keep believing, remembering, telling and expecting. The foundation is firm, Christ is enough, so don’t give up!

What a great evening at our CEF Autumn Conference in Lurgan Baptist Church!

We enjoyed a wonderful time of worship, hearing the reports of God's work across Ireland and listening to the youth choir before being challenged from God’s Word with the message: Don’t Stop — Continue in the firm foundations of our faith.

We were reminded of four important things:
- Don’t stop believing.
- Don’t stop remembering.
- Don’t stop telling.
- Don’t stop expecting.

It was a valuable opportunity to look back with thankfulness at what God has done, encourage one another in the work of reaching children with the Gospel, and look ahead with expectation to what He will continue to do.

Thank you to everyone who came and joined with us for the service.

Everyone has their own reason for coming on CMLC — but behind each story is a desire to learn, grow and be better equipped to reach children with the Gospel.

It’s great to hear what brought these students here and to see how God is already working in their lives. Please keep praying for them as they learn, grow and seek God’s direction for what comes next!

CMLC is underway!
The 2026 Children’s Ministry Leadership Course is now underway at Seaview, with a great group of 14 students gathering to learn, grow and be equipped for ministry among children.
Running from 20 September to 12 December, the course will explore what the Bible teaches about reaching children, while developing practical skills for teaching, evangelism and children’s ministry.
We’re looking forward to seeing how God works in and through this group as they learn together and prepare to serve Him in reaching children with the Gospel.

Please pray for the CMLC:
- Pray for the students as they complete their six classes each morning.
- Pray for those providing the training, that God would give them wisdom and strength.
- Pray for unity and fellowship among the group as they learn and serve together.
- Pray for students from overseas who do not have English as their first language, that they will be able to follow and engage fully with the training.
- Pray that God would clearly guide each student as they consider how He wants them to use what they are learning.

Such an encouraging night last night at our Children's Ministry Leadership Course (CMLC) Opening Service!

The Armagh Inters have been having a brilliant time at camp in Portadown, with plenty of fun, fellowship and, most importantly, time spent learning more about God.

There was certainly no shortage of water! From cups and buckets of water to water pistols and the ever-present threat of water balloons! The campers also took to the water for paddle boarding, before swapping the water for some friendly competition at miniature golf.

Alongside the activities, the campers spent time together in Bible study and worship, learning from God’s Word and growing in their faith. The week also gave them plenty of opportunity for fellowship, building friendships and enjoying time together.

The Poland Momentum team have been busy sharing God’s Word with children through Bible teaching, songs, actions, games and creative activities.

The children had plenty of opportunities to get involved in outdoor games, basketball and bubbles to crafts, quizzes and games. They also found creative ways to learn and remember Bible verses, including putting Scripture onto balloons and using actions to help bring the verses to life.

One of the verses they learned was John 10:11, where Jesus says, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."

It was also a great opportunity for the Momentum team to serve, build relationships with the children and enjoy sharing the Gospel together.
