March Mercy Month!

For the month of March we prayerfully turn to God and ask for His mercy to provide resources to continue the ministry of CEF. In lieu of a banquet, we feel raising money in this way is an efficient and responsible way to steward your gift. Every dollar will go directly to the ministry. It is an honest and transparent appeal to help us raise sufficient funds to support the first half of 2025. Our chapter, which serves Fresno, Madera, Tulare, Kings and Inyo counties, has reached 2,894 children since September. Of those, 430 made a profession of faith! We are conducting this ministry with 164 volunteers at 71 school sites with more pending.

Our goal is to raise $150,000. Will you help us?

Why do we reach children with the Gospel?

“Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.’” Matthew 19:14

Children are daily under attack by the world’s influence. For many children in the valley, the Good News Club® is the only church they have. Statistics show that children are impressionable and open to the teachings of Jesus, but as they grow up, these soft hearts may be hardened to the things of the Lord and His Word. According to Barna research the likelihood of people trusting in Jesus decreases with ages: 5–12-years-old (32%), 13-18 (4%) and 19+ (6%). Let’s reach them now!

We can virtually reach every nation of the world, as Christ has called us to, through the diverse population of students in elementary schools and with our You-Tube channel.

We count it a great blessing to train and equip volunteers to reach children for Christ in the afterschool Good News Club®. The program is free for children and families. Will you help us?
