Club Ministries

Find out how God continues to use the exciting club ministries CEF offers around the world. Good News Clubs, which primarily take place once a week over the course of the school year, are very popular. 5-Day Clubs, which primarily take place over the course of a five day period during the holidays, offer a unique opportunity for children to interact with teenagers who receive training in the Christian Youth in Action program.
 

Literature Based Ministries

For many years CEF has been writing, illustrating and publishing reading and teaching materials that support teachers and communicate directly to children. Recently, the Wonder Devotional Book has become hugely successful, and has led to an entire series of "Wonder" products that children love. In South Africa we want to provide every child with a Wonder Book in their own language. 

Internet Ministries

In 2002, CEF launched the  Wonderzone.com project. This unique site allows trained counselors to disciple children in a real-time, interactive environment. As a result, tens of thousands of children have been counseled over the course of more than one million page-views. Many of these children have given their lives to Christ as a result of this powerful online ministry. Other CEFonline ministries include TeachKidsMag.com, SummerMissions.com, the CEF Online Store, and the official web site for the Children's Ministries Institute.
 

Media Based Ministries

When J. Irvin Overholtzer founded CEF in 1937, he never would have imagined real ministry taking place today on the Internet, in movie theatres and over the radio airways. Nonetheless, this is exactly what is happening.

Wonderzone.com has grown to be a highly popular Web site for children around the world! This dynamic Web site offers real-time ministry by trained counselors around the globe.

The Good News Club on TV is being broadcasted once a week on the Spirit Word channel and can be seen throughout South Africa and other parts of Africa.
 

Training Ministries

One of the great principles behind the ministry of CEF is to multiply our efforts by training others. Some of our training ministries focus on training more instructors, who can in turn train even more children's workers. Other training ministries focus on those who will teach the children directly. From the Children's Ministries Institute® to one day Super-Seminars, CEF training will make an impact in the lives of those who wish to reach the children.
