God is moving in our community!

Every Child. Every Nation. Every Day.

Sharing the Good News with the children of the Central Coast!

A Good News Club in Salinas.

And He said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.”

Mark 16:15

Rain always reminds me of the goodness of our God. In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus reminds us that God sends both rain and sunshine equally on the evil and the good. This common grace, bestowed on all humanity, shows us the kindness of God. He gives great abundance to the earth, not withholding because of the evil in our hearts. Rain is common grace. As believers we also understand that God has revealed His specific grace in our Lord Jesus Christ. This grace is also not given according to our worth, but is distinct from the common grace, like rain, because it is only experienced by those who receive it. This is why we do what we do! “How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?”

Who Will Walk Through the Open Door?

We are regularly told of places where there is an open door for a Good News Club, and we would love to walk through these doors with the gospel! Yet we are held back because we lack the workers to fill our teams. We need more volunteers who can help us bring the gospel to more kids!

Do you have a few spare hours in your week? If you feel the pull to bring the gospel to children, come to our next volunteer training on Feb 10th!

Help Steer the Ship

In addition to our ministry volunteers, we seek Christians with business and professional careers, who understand that children can believe and be regenerated by the Holy Spirit, to consider applying to be a member of our local governing committee. These volunteers oversee the ministry, ensuring we are holding to the mission of CEF to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, disciple them in the Word of God, and establish them in Bible-teaching churches. They also help raise funds to support the ministry and promote CEF in their circle of influence. To learn more about this area of service, please email Kjierstin or phone the office.

Our children too shall serve him, for they shall hear from us about the wonders of the Lord; generations yet unborn shall hear of all the miracles he did for us.

Psalm 22:30-31

Go & Tell

We are so excited to be bringing the Go & Tell program to the Central Coast! This new program by CEF trains saved elementary aged children to reach their peers. It has been amazing to hear the stories from around the world of how God is using these young evangelists to bring many to a saving faith in Christ! Our first Go & Tell will be March 9th at FBC Salinas. Email our office to receive more information for you to share with a child in your life.
