Hello family and friends!

This year I am going to be doing a summer mission outreach through Child Evangelism Fellowship. This is an amazing opportunity to share God’s Word and to grow new skills to teach the Gospel to children.

In Matthew 19:14 Jesus says, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” I accepted Jesus as my Savior at a VBS when I was 6, so I know the influence that a strong leader and teacher can make in bringing kids to know Christ, and I would like to be a part of that, too through 5-Day Clubs.

A 5-Day Club is very similar to a Vacation Bible School program, the main difference being that we travel throughout our area. We will be going to trailer courts, parks, campgrounds, and even more locations so that we can share the gospel with children in our community.

Before I can take part in this summer missions’ outreach, I will be attending a one-week training called Christian Youth in Action (CYIA). During this training I will learn how to teach exciting Bible lessons, real life missionary stories,  meaningful memory verses, and more.

Because we are local missionaries, this does cost money. I am asking my friends and family to support me in the work I will be doing with CEF this summer to reach children with the Gospel. Philippians 4:16-17 says, “For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.” Many people are unable to go out and share the gospel like I will be doing this summer, but that does not mean you can’t play an important part in this ministry. Ministry is not possible without the financial and prayer support of people like you. I ask that you prayerfully consider giving in honor of the missions work I will be doing this summer!

We ask you to prayerfully 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 learn how to teach Bible lessons, Missionary lessons, scripture memory verses, prayer time, and more. The training equips 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 local 5-Day Clubs to share God's Love to the children. A 5-Day Club is an exciting 2-hour club that meets consecutively for 5 days. 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.
