C EF was founded in 1937, nearly 80 years ago, for the purpose of “evangelizing boys and girls, discipling them in the Word of God, and establishing them in the local church.” We have been on mission for nearly 80 years, and our goal is to reach EVERY CHILD . . . EVERY NATION . . . EVERY DAY. God is making that possible as our staff works with dedicated volunteers who become a vital part of all that God is doing in and through the ministry of CEF. Last year, God blessed us with the opportunity to present the Good News of Jesus Christ to over 15 million children in face-to-face Gospel presentations, and we are seeing a 15% growth in ministry each year. Volunteers make a difference around the world and right here in Warrenton as well. We invite you to join this group of dedicated men and women who help carry the Gospel to every nation on earth. CEF is currently active in 190 countries around the globe, and we have only 17 remaining countries to open. I can’t think of a more exciting time to serve the Lord at CEF than right now. We believe we are on the brink of exponential growth and of actually having ministry in every nation on earth. We invite you to join us in taking the Gospel “around the world in 80 years” as we move toward our 80th year of ministry in 2017. Like you, I am a volunteer. I have served at CEF for the last 26 years, and I can tell you from firsthand experience, serving the Lord at CEF is exciting, rewarding, and you will have the joy of seeing God use you to make an eternal impact.

C EF was founded in 1937, nearly 80 years ago,

for the purpose of “evangelizing boys and

girls, discipling them in the Word of God, and

establishing them in the local church.” We have been on

mission for nearly 80 years, and our goal is to reach

EVERY CHILD . . . EVERY NATION . . . EVERY

DAY. God is making that possible as our staff works

with dedicated volunteers who become a vital part of all

that God is doing in and through the ministry of CEF.

Last year, God blessed us with the opportunity to present

the Good News of Jesus Christ to over 15 million

children in face-to-face Gospel presentations, and we are

seeing a 15% growth in ministry each year.

Volunteers make a difference around the world and right

here in Warrenton as well. We invite you to join this

group of dedicated men and women who help carry the

Gospel to every nation on earth. CEF is currently active

in 190 countries around the globe, and we have only 17

remaining countries to open. I can’t think of a more exciting time

to serve the Lord at CEF than right now. We believe we are on the brink of exponential

growth and of actually having ministry in every nation on earth. We invite you to join

us in taking the Gospel “around the world in 80 years” as we move toward our 80th

year of ministry in 2017.

Like you, I am a volunteer. I have served at CEF for the last 26 years, and I can tell you

from firsthand experience, serving the Lord at CEF is exciting, rewarding, and you will

have the joy of seeing God use you to make an

eternal impact.

Sincerely,

Reese and Linda Kauffman
