Pastors, student pastors, and CEF ministry partners: We’re saving you a spot.

Every summer, teens across Florida gather for one intense week to train as summer missionaries to the children in your communities beyond your church walls. This time, we want to invite you to come check us out.

On June 9th, come preview Chrsitian Youth In Action® (CYIA™) training in Trinity, Florida. Enjoy a free lunch with some of our education team, observe one of our training classes, and hear from our state leadership on the impact of CYIA ministry and why your church needs to get on board with us.

Share this with someone you know who needs to partner with us to help prepare the next generation of Christian leaders and to reach lost children with the Gospel.

Ahoy, mateys!! We had a grand time at our “Always True Treasure Hunt” Party Club. The crew of young buccaneers followed the clues to the greatest treasure of all—eternal life through Jesus! We thank the Lord for a mighty fine day and for the truth that Jesus is Alive! Until our next voyage…keep seekin’ the true Treasure!

So many places to give on Giving Tuesday. Would you prayerfully consider CEF’s Heartland of Florida Chapter?
Every gift helps us share the Gospel with children in our local schools and communities.

I finally got to visit our Good News Club at Woodlawn Elementary in Sebring! 🎉

Their club usually meets the same day as another one I help lead in Polk County, so I’d never been able to make it… but with Polk schools off for Veterans Day this week and Highlands County still in session, God opened the door. 🙌

What a fun, joy-filled time with this wonderful team and these precious kids. 💛
So thankful for what the Lord is doing here through Good News Clubs!
