Today might be St. Patrick's Day, but long before Ireland became famous for green hills and shamrocks, a young man named St. Patrick helped bring the message of Jesus there. After being taken to Ireland as a slave, Patrick later returned—not with anger, but with the good news of the Good Shepherd. He shared the love of Christ across Ireland and helped many people learn about God.
☘️
That same message of trusting God is at the heart of Emerald Crossing VBS, where this summer kids will journey through Ireland’s beautiful landscapes while discovering the powerful promises of Psalm 23—learning how the Good Shepherd leads us from worry to peace and from fear to faith.

Praise the Lord for how God is sending children to Good News Club! Please pray for more children to attend this free afterschool program.
New Lawsuit ‼️ We just filed a lawsuit on behalf of Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) of Illinois after the Moline-Coal Valley Community Unified School District unlawfully denied CEF's Good News Clubs equal access to three elementary school facilities while allowing similar non-religious organizations.
In addition to this, the Good News Clubs have been prohibited from sending flyers home with students and have been excluded from the district’s “backpack nights” while similar organizations (Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Girls on the Run, and Little League) have had full access to the same forums free of charge and without any restrictions.
Discriminatory treatment toward this after-school Bible club is unlawful. We are seeking a permanent injunction declaring the district's actions unconstitutional and restoring equal access for Good News Clubs on elementary school campuses.
We have represented about 200 CEF cases nationally and have never lost a case involving Good News Clubs.
We are starting now to plan our summer of 5 Day Clubs. Will you join us? Be a summer missionary! There are still so many children that need to hear that Jesus loves them and has a plan for their life.
Take the light of the Gospel to children in your community this summer. This is for interested teens that have a desire to be a summer missionary. If interested, please contact our office at office .org.
