The Faith of a Child

The Faith of a Ten-Year-Old

This year our Christian Youth In Action® teens and CEF® staff led one-day Ice Cream Party outreaches. At one of our parties, some kids in foster care living next door came over. At the end of the Bible lesson, the ten-year-old foster girl raised her hand and asked if she could share something. She then stood up, faced her peers and said with complete confidence, “God is like your dad. Only he’s not down here (she pointed down at earth), but he’s up there (and she pointed up to heaven). And He’s perfect.” It was a beautiful moment to see that even though her home life on earth wasn’t perfect (and really, whose is?) she knew that she had a greater hope because of the love of her heavenly Father.

Join Us in Prayer! As kids head back to school, our after-school Good News Clubs are getting ready to launch! Will you join us in prayer this year for a school near you that has a Good News Club®? You can take a look at the lists by counties below. Pray for our teams that are leading them and for the kids that will come. Please also note that the schools that have an * next to them need another team member or two. Is God placing this ministry on your heart? Will you prayerfully consider getting involved? CEF provides all the training and support. Find out more information by emailing us at the button below or by calling our office at (530) 895-9494.

It's Time to Shine His Light! Our biggest event in Redding is coming on October 14. It’s our “Shining His Light” fundraising banquet. Are you planning on coming? It's an evening of celebrating how the light of Jesus has continued to shine these past few years and an opportunity to look forward to what God is going to do this coming year. Our ministry year runs from September 1 - August 31. Through our local outreaches, we were able to reach 912 kids with the Gospel during the past year. We are prayerfully expecting God to continue expanding our impact, but we can’t do it without you! Attending this banquet is a tangible way that you can support the Good News Club ministry and help us reach more kids. We hope you'll come!
