There are children right here in Monterey County who have no idea that Jesus is their Savior and they may never step foot in a church. These children are not told that they were created by a loving God who has a purpose for their life. These children will be our future leaders in this community and throughout our world.
God has provided a unique organization to reach these children: Child Evangelism Fellowship® (CEF). CEF was established in 1937 and is sharing the gospel of Christ with children in Monterey County as well as over 157 different counties around the world.
Since September 2004, God has given me opportunities to serve in this mission field with CEF in various capacities, and I am blessed to tell you that effective mid-January I will, once again, be a staff member for CEF of Monterey County, working at least 25 hours a week.
Some of my duties will include:
· Teaching and organizing three Afterschool Good News Clubs, which are like high-powered Sunday school classes, but taught in public schools (an amazing opportunity!)
1. Crumpton-Marina (taught last year)
2. La Mesa-Monterey (re-establishing, last taught in 2006)
3. Foothill-Monterey (new club)
· Teacher trainings (Sunday school and Good News Clubs)
· Community outreaches
1. Monterey County Fair
2. KCBA Kid Fest-Monterey Fairgrounds
3. Peace Rally-Salinas
4. 5 Day Clubs/ Party Clubs-Apartment complexes
I am writing for three reasons. Firstly, the Monterey CEF team needs your prayers. Please pray God will bind us together as a team as we do His work and reach out to children in our community. Pray for lives and hearts to be changed as we share Bible lessons from the Word of God, inspiring missionary lessons, memory verses and songs with these children. Pray that God will be glorified and many children will come to know the Lord. Pray for workers as we need three helpers for each Good News Club (90 minutes once a week is all we need!).
Secondly, in order to raise the needed financial support. If you would like to help support financially please send a check to CEF to the address below.
Lastly, friends, I need your prayers as I continue to walk by faith with God. I see this as a two-fold blessing: He has opened this door of opportunity for me to do what I love the most, tell children about His love for them, and He is also providing for my needs through it.
Thank you for your prayers and support. If you have any questions at all, or would like to join us in this ministry, please feel free to contact me at (831) 521-4448. God bless you richly in this new year.
