Great to see School District of Manatee County going above and beyond to support students during the summer. If you know of children in need this summer, check out the options below!

More than 50 students were trained yesterday to share The Gospel this summer with children in our community. We didn’t get the clearest photos or picture-perfect expressions, but we did get the chance to train and equip young Christians for ministry. Incredibly, well over half the group are former Good News Club students themselves! This is Christian Youth In Action, moving from evangelism to discipleship and training, so that even more evangelism can take place.

Very thankful for our teens who helped teach yesterday, for those who will teach all summer long, and the Tabernacle Church for providing the space to train these summer missionaries!

Had a first this past weekend. We are always thankful to get the share the ministry of Child Evangelism Fellowship in our local churches, but this past Sunday at Living Hope Church we had an opportunity to not only share the ministry, but actually show the ministry during the service as kids were invited down to the front for a memory verse teaching. Grateful a local church like Living Hope excited about reaching the next generation!

Our friends south of us are looking to grow in Lee County! If you know of anyone in that area looking for a ministry position with a great organization (we’re a little biased), get them connected!

📣WE ARE HIRING! 📣

Lee County is where our chapter began, back in 1965, and it is where we wish to grow our ministry this year. We are at the point in which to do so would require another staff member to coordinate more clubs!

Please consider if this is a place for you, or share it with someone you think would be interested! Click the link in the comments to apply and find more information about this position!

The last batch! We are so thankful for the more than 300 people who donated to CEF and helped us not only meet, but go beyond our goal! A total of $88,000 was donated through the challenge or offline, and with the additional matching funds, our total raised is just over $115,000! Our deepest gratitude goes to The Community Foundation of Sarasota County and The Patterson Foundation for making the Giving Challenge possible.

Thank you for being the one to help lead one more child to Christ!
