Dear Friends and Family,
I would like to tell you about an awesome opportunity I have to work with children this summer. I love children and enjoy hanging out with them, but most importantly I want them to hear the gospel. Not only do I want to do this for the children, but for Jesus. Plus, I want to do something this summer that matters for eternity. I will be serving the children in the local communities around me as a summer missionary with Child Evangelism Fellowship of Indiana, Inc. North Central Indiana. We will run 5-Day Clubs and Vacation Bible Schools as well as an evangelistic outreach at the fairs.
The 1st step of becoming a summer missionary is to attend Christian Youth in Action (CYIA). CYIA is a one-week training camp designed to train teens and young adults how to effectively share their faith on a child’s level. The CYIA training will be held June 1-7 at Indiana Wesleyan University. There I will learn how to teach a Bible story, how to tell a missionary story, how to run a 5-Day Club, and how to share the Gospel. The training isn't free, and I will need money to pay for food, transportation and materials during the summer.
Would you consider partnering with my team in prayer and financial support? Thank you for your love and support! This seems to be an awesome opportunity that God has unexpectedly dropped in my lap, and I want to seize it!
Would you prayefully support our Summer Missions' Outreach! Every year our chapter conducts a summer missions' outreach here in North Central Indiana. Our mission is to reach the lost children in our Jerusalem and Samaria as commanded by the Lord Jesus. The summer begins with Christian Youth in Action® (CYIA™). CYIA is a specialized one week training for teens and young adults. Those who attend will learn how to teach Bible lessons, Missionary lessons, memory verses, prayer time, and more. The training will equip our summer missionaries on how to lead a productive 5-Day Club® ministry.
After training, the teens will come back to our local chapter and work in 5-Day Clubs to share God's Love to the children. A 5-Day Club is an exciting 1.5 to 2 hour club that meets consecutively for 5 days. The club components include: dynamic Bible lessons, real life Missionary stories, life-changing scripture memorization, relationship building activities, interactive games, God centered prayer time, and worship songs.
The summer missionaries will also work alongside us in the county fairs to share the Gospel message to the fair visitors.
This is an exciting program that helps to equip teens to share their faith and gives them opportunities throughout the summer to do so. Many of our teens begin at the age of 12 and continue with us until they go into college. We ask that you prayerfully support this work to help us reach the children of North Central Indiana and to help equip the next generation to be the hands and feet of Christ until He returns.
Please chose one or more of our missionaries below to pray for and support as we go out to serve the Lord and our community. Bringing the Good News to the children of North Central Indiana!
