and the advantages of partnering with CEF®
Adopt A Club
CEF® can help your church conduct a Good News Club® to evangelize and disciple children in various locations: school, daycare, online, a nearby apartment complex or daycare, etc. Not only would the Good News Club® introduce children to Jesus, but you could invite their entire family to your church! This can be a tremendous outreach as members of your church volunteer as teachers, helpers and prayer partners.
Good News Club®s meet once a week for ~2 hours. Personal follow up of the children and their families can increase your church growth and, most importantly, continue the growth of God’s kingdom and bring glory to His Name.
Testimonies
I serve at our Kenwood Elementary Good News Club. It has been such a rewarding
experience. Every week more kids register for club. The Bible teaching and other components are all very uplifting and Spirit-filled. Best of all, we have already seen 10 kids pray to receive Christ during the last five weeks! Our Campus Church
(Kenwood Baptist) is right down the street, and 3 of the kids have been baptized
there, and several families have visited the church from the club. I would highly
recommend the Good News Clubs to anyone wanting to reach kids for Jesus.
Update: 2nd Mile Church and Pastor Cal have gone on to start a new GNC at a school nearby their church.

It is a great blessing to work with these kids for a number of years at the Dover
Elementary Good News Club. I see a hunger in these young people for the Good
News that I cannot see in adults. One young girl asked me to teach her how to
pray. I asked her “who is your best friend in school”. She told me that she and Sue
do everything together. I asked her what they talk about when they are together.
She said “friends, clothes, classes, people that are mean to them and people that
are good to them”. I told her to tell Jesus the same things that you tell your friend.
Her eyes got really big and said “that's easy”. A few days later she told me she talks to Jesus every day now. In my heart all I could do was say thank you Jesus. These
young people are the future of our church and our great country.

I have been a part of CEF and GNC for about 7 years. I have participated in all
aspects of club activities including teaching the lesson, the memory verse,
sending out prayer requests and counseling after the invitation. I have also been
serving on the CEF Board. After clubs, I am physically exhausted and spiritually
exhilarated! At GNC, a shy 4th grade boy began to ask spiritual questions and
made a decision to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. His parents were getting a
divorce, which obviously affected him emotionally. Shortly after Christmas he
and his Mom were moving away. As he was leaving his last day, he turned
around, came back, and hugged me and then walked away. I wholeheartedly
believe that you can go to a third world country in a school near you. Good
News Club has been an incredible growth experience for me.
