TRANSCRIPT
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
