About CEF®
Child Evangelism Fellowship® is a Bible-centered, interdenominational, worldwide organization, composed of born-again believers whose purpose and mission are to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, disciple them in the Word of God, and establish them in a Bible-believing church for Christian living.
Our Mission
Our mission is what we do: evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, disciple them in the Word of God, and establish them in a Bible-believing church for Christian living.
EvangelizeCEF® wants to reach children with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our concern in seeking to evangelize the children is so that "not one of these little ones should perish" (Matthew 18:14).

DiscipleChildren must be discipled in their Christian lives through the Word of God. They need to "grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 3:18).
|
EstablishEvangelized children need to be in a local Bible-believing church where they can continue growing on a regular basis, learning more about how to live a life that is pleasing to God. In this way, CEF® serves the local church and assists in the goal of church growth.

Our Greatest Need
CEF's greatest need is for those who will see the fields which are "white already to harvest" (John 4:35) and become involved in this outreach to children of the world.
“Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.”

Our Ministries
|
CEF® has many different ministries for children, but the primary ones are the Good News Club® and the 5-Day Club®.
The Good News Club® and 5-Day Club® ministries take place in neighborhood settings such as homes, backyards, schools, and community centers all over the world. These fast-paced, one-and-a-half hour programs are designed to bring the Gospel of Christ to children on their level in their environment.
Along with these clubs, CEF® also has fair, camping, open-air, and internet ministries for children. Last year through these combined ministries, over 31 million children worldwide heard the Good News.

Our Foundation
CEF® is founded on the Bible, dedicated to the Great Commission, and focused on reaching the next generation. Our foundation verse is Matthew 18:14 --“So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.”
Our Vision
Our vision is the scope of what we do: Every Child, Every Nation, Every Day. We must pursue the goal of taking the Gospel to every child in every nation as Jesus commanded. And we must do so every day.
Our Strategy
God has given us a three-fold strategy: train, equip, and support. Training prepares men and Women to fulfill the mission. Equipping provides tools needed to fulfill the mission to evangelize and disciple children. Supporting provides financial resources so workers can focus on fulfilling the mission. This God-given strategy is logical, but its power is theological as He works in and through us to accomplish His will.
Our Goal
|
Our goal is to move beyond reaching 27 million children in 2024 to reach 100 million children in 2032. If the number of children we reach grows by 18 percent annually, we will be able to achieve this goal. There will be many resources required, but God will provide. Our confidence is not in our strategy, but in our God on whom we depend so that we might reach the next generation.
