Our Strategy
Child Evangelism Fellowship® works around the world through thousands of local missionaries and tens of thousands of local volunteers. Our primary ministry activities include training, equipping, and supporting these faithful people.
Training
|
Training is offered worldwide with the support of our education department. The training of local workers and volunteers multiplies our ministry and enables us to reach many more children with the Gospel than we otherwise could. Through Super Seminars, Teaching Children Effectively™ courses, and the 12-week Children's Ministries Institute® courses, CEF® is enabling those with a burden for children to effectively evangelize them. In the past ministry year, we reached over 577,000 teachers. We have institutes in every region. Training is key if we are to see more children reached for His glory. We want to challenge more of the workers we have trained to enter full-time ministry.

Equipping
|
Equipping the volunteer teachers is the primary goal of our literature ministries, which includes literature development and production. Because many of our workers are in developing nations and are unable to afford the needed curriculum, we distribute materials to trained teachers, free of charge. Our regional directors confirm that this is one of the reasons we have expanded ministry over the last ten years. Our goal is to send more and more material every month.

|
In addition to our biblically sound and colorfully illustrated bible curriculum, sone of the most strategic tools we offer are The 60-Day Wonder Devotional Books, which encourage children to begin a lifetime habit of time alone with God. We are also known for our evangelism tools, such as The Wordless Book.

Supporting
|
In CEF® we need a growing number of national workers on the front lines to see the children evangelized and we also need an increasing support team to get behind these workers--both are vitally important. The work of CEF® cannot continue without the Lord's provision.

|
We are committed to helping our workers in different parts of the world present the need for resources within their own countries. However, in many countries, because of poverty or oppression, it is impossible to raise the needed support from within. for this reason, we are committed to building a connection between those who are called and equipped by God to do ministry and those who are blessed and able to provide the finances needed to sustain it. God is our source—we "trust Him and tell His people”—the rest is up to Him. So our prayer is that the Lord will send out more laborers and also that He will raise up a team of supporters for them.
We are creating a new and more effective Sponsor a National™ program to enable ministry growth and worker retention across the world. "How shall they hear without a preacher?" CEF® is looking to God to provide for 1,000 SPAN™ workers, supported appropriately and consistently so that the work goes forward.
“How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?”
