Sing to the Lord a new song;

sing to the Lord, all the earth.

Sing to the Lord, praise his name;

proclaim his salvation day after day.

Declare his glory among the nations,

his marvelous deeds among all peoples.

Psalm 96:1-3

CEF NorCal Central Coast

A Summer for the Books!

This summer, our CEF Chapter re-launched the 5-Day Club Ministry that is a hallmark of CEF Summer Ministry around the world. We boldly planned six different 5-Day Clubs around the Central Coast, and God was so faithful to bless our efforts for His glory! Each 5-Day club had its own personality and character, but the theme of each club was God's clear hand of encouragement.

At our Gonzales Club, we not only ministered to over 25 teens and students, but we were also able to disciple and train some potential Christian Youth In Action teens; please be in prayer that these awesome teenagers will choose God's leading!

At our Marina club we had a miraculous moment when two older kids walked up to us as we set up and asked "Is this a party or something?" We told them about the Bible Club that about to start and invited them to join us; they were completely unchurched, but were seeking God and so excited to learn more about Him. It was so exciting to see how God brings just who we need to minister to, when we are faithful to show up! We gave a Bible to the younger boy and he said "I've been wanting to learn more about God, so this is perfect, thank you so much!"

Pray for these two young people, that the truths we planted will take root and grow into a life of faith!

We also had an incredible time partnering with local churches to share the gospel through the wordless book bracelets. This amazing tool is simple and effective to share God's love, our sinful state, and the way of salvation with young and old alike. This one-on-one witnessing is also incredibly effective as children see themselves in the Bible verses, story, and message and respond to the personal invitation to receive Jesus. We have had over 20 children accept Jesus as Savior through our Wordless Book booths this summer!

Teaching Children Effectively is a college-level course on the best ways to teach the Gospel to children. We are so excited to have the opportunity to offer this class to Christian Child Workers on the Central Coast.

Parents, teachers, Sunday school leaders, preschool leaders, college students, and missionaries can all benefit from the material covered in this class.

The goal of TCE is to prepare believers to know how to minister to children AND have the confidence to live it out.

TCE classes will be held September 5, 6, 12, 13, 19 & 20, from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm. Cost: $150 / person, or $125 for active CEF Good News Club teachers.

We will have scholarships, if the price is prohibitive.

August 23rd

Our yearly back to school rally was moved to August 23rd. We apologize for the change in schedule, but for those who are able to attend, this mandatory meeting will be a blessing and an encouragement. We will renew our yearly Child Protection Policy, overview our fall curriculum, train and equip you further for service, and have a planning and prayer time for each team.

Following the Rally from 10AM-12PM, we will continue with a Good News Club training for all new volunteers, and any current volunteers that want to be re-trained. This will run from 12:30PM-4:30PM.

Please email k.beck@cefnorcal.org to let us know if you are coming- or need the Child Protection Policy emailed to you.

Some of our teams are in need of more members and we would LOVE to have YOU join us in ministry this year!!! Email Keri to learn more about how you can serve the Lord with CEF.

Will You Pray With Us?

August is bringing the launch of our Together We Pray initiative. We are keenly aware that all we desire to accomplish for the Lord can only happen with His blessing, so we ask that you would join our 24/7 prayer chain by claiming one weekly 30 minute slot. The more of us praying in unity for God's guidance and provision the closer we will be to His will in all we do. "Prayer is not optional for the Christian; it is required.” —R.C. Sproul. Please pray with us as we seek His face!

Your sister in Christ,
