October 2025

CEF international World Day of Prayer is coming up next month (see information below). Will you join us in thanking God for His calling to reach the children of West Virginia. We are so grateful for those who have already begun their relationship with Jesus this school year. Will you continue to pray for more to come to our various Good News Club / Jr Youth Challenge locations? Also, pray those who have believed on Jesus to desire to grow in Him and be discipled through attending church and Good News Club/Jr. Youth Challenge.

Will you also join us in prayer for our multi-state "Children in Crisis Conference" at the Ark Encounter March 16-18, 2026. This is a CEF sponsored and endorsed Children's Workers conference that is seeking partnerships with churches and children ministries. CEF is also seeking partnerships with other ministries and organizations who can help enhance and equip attendees in reaching children who are in spiritual crisis. Registrations are now open, please see below to register.

You will also find a list of our North Central Chapter Committee and Staff. We are rejoicing in what God is doing through the North Central committee and volunteers as they are reaching the children in their chapter!

This month we are focusing on our CEF Cultural Point, "Importance of Evangelizing Children". Will you pray Matthew 18:14 over the children of West Virginia? Jesus said, "It is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish." Pray that God will continue to draw more children in spiritual crisis to Him through the presentation of His Gospel so children may be saved and discipled in God's Word with life applications for spiritual growth.

   The Good News Club is the core ministry of Child Evangelism Fellowship^® in which trained teachers meet with groups of children in schools, homes, community centers, churches, apartment complexes—just about anywhere the children can easily and safely meet with their parent's permission. Each week the teacher presents an exciting Bible lesson with life application using colorful materials. This action-packed time also includes songs, Scripture memory, a missions story and review games or other activities focused on the lesson's theme.

      Each club includes a clear presentation of the Gospel and an opportunity for children to trust Jesus as Savior. Every club also includes strong discipleship training to build character and strengthen moral and spiritual growth. All children are encouraged to attend a local church.

If your church would like to adopt your local community or you would like to be involved in a Good News Club contact your local chapter listed below or State Office.
