If you didn’t know, my family and I serve as full-time missionaries with Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) of Central Nebraska. We oversee the ministry and encourage believers to step out in faith, go into their communities, and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ—the good news that truly changes lives.

We do this because we love Jesus and the people He has called us to serve. ❤️

As missionaries, we are responsible for raising 100% of our financial support. If you know me, you know I’m willing to work hard, but asking for support isn’t easy for me. That I work other jobs to support my family. Still, we need people willing to partner with us so we can continue serving and encouraging others.

Would you prayerfully consider whether you, your family, your business, or your church could help support our family? Whether through a recurring monthly gift or a one-time donation, every gift makes a difference.

Here are two ways to give:

💻 **Online:** [Give here](https://secure.qgiv.com/for/cefcentralchapter) and select a monthly or one-time gift.

✉️ **By mail:**
54620 190th Road
Shelton, NE 68876

I’d also love to sit down with you, share what God is doing through this ministry, and answer questions about what your support makes possible. Call me at **308-233-1501**, and let’s find a time to visit.

Thank you for praying for us, encouraging us, and considering partnering with our family as we share the hope of Jesus across Central Nebraska.

Often in children’s ministry and Good News Clubs we wonder if what we are doing really matters. Are they getting this. Is it worth it.

Then on the very last day of Good News Club two kids hand us these little notes and suddenly the answer is clear.

It does matter. It is worth every minute. Even on the days when you spend most of your time reminding kids to sit down and keep their hands to themselves.

So here is your friendly nudge. You should do it. Start a Good News Club in your local elementary school. The kids get it. The impact is real. And it is absolutely worth it.
