The Next Director

The New Director

I am overjoyed to share that a new director has been confirmed to replace me when I retire, Deborah Naigaga! Deborah was trained to be a volunteer in the foothill area doing 5-Day Club and Good News Club in 2013. On her own initiative, she flew to CEF International, Inc. in Missouri for a Weekend Guide Retreat. This is an opportunity to learn more about how CEF was started and how the Lord has taken it around the world. After this event, she called me to inquire about a staff position. She was hired in January 2015 and has progressed from Field Missionary, to Teacher Trainer to Training Coordinator.

Her love for the Lord and her passion for reaching children for Christ is evident to everyone who meets her. It has been a joy to work with Deborah over these last 10 years, share many ministry events and lean on the Lord fully for every need. I look forward to helping her over the next few months as she assumes leadership over the local chapter. Our entire team is excited and united in supporting her promotion. She will assume the role of Director officially on September 1st. Please pray for her as she expands her responsibilities over all ministry and business operations.

For God’s Glory,

Tammy Beers

Coarsegold Good News Club – Deborah Naigaga

While driving to Coarsegold for a Good News Club supervisory visit,  dark rain clouds gathered and snow, which rarely happens in the area, was forecast. It started hailing as I parked.  The office staff  welcomed me and directed me to the Good News Club classroom. As I walked, it began to snow.  The kids were filled with excitement for this unique experience.  They looked through the window with great enjoyment. The Good News Club volunteers began the day’s lesson on the “Clean Page” of the Wordless Book. How great that God would give us snow on this day to remind us how He cleans us from sin as clean as snow. I watched the precious children take turns praising and praying. I was so happy to see the team teach the children how to pray and offer each one a chance to pray. The volunteer’s encouragement led all the children to participate.

As the lesson was finishing, an administrator alerted us that parents were  called to pick up their kids because of the heavy snow. Walking to our cars, I was overwhelmed by the volunteer’s commitment.  The weather was challenging and could have been distracting but they used it as an object lesson and endured extreme conditions to be there for the children.  I am so grateful for all our faithful volunteers; for their dedication and sacrifice to reach children for the Lord. May the Lord bless each and everyone of them! 

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.” Isaiah 52:7
