When school is out the ministry of CEF does not stop! During the summer we partner with churches to do another kind of club in our community. It is called the 5-Day Club. This program is similar to a VBS, but instead of taking place in a church, we go out into the community and reach children in neighborhoods, parks, and other public locations.
One of the best things about these clubs is that they are entirely taught by teens. Right after school is over, these young people will go to an intense training workshop for a whole week! Let me tell you, when they are done, they are prepared and equipped!
This summer we had fifteen 5-Day Clubs in our community and through those programs we were able to reach 157 children with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Every time a Bible Lesson is taught there is an invitation to accept Christ and that is just what 23 children did this summer! These teens have the privilege of bringing children into the family of God and it’s all so wonderful!
