Changes to Curriculum
Jesus: God Who Cares for People has major updates in the text to comply with our curriculum standards. It should be purchased this year to replace the last version. This is now a foundational series.
The former missionary story featuring Ravi Zacharias is discontinued and should not be used in CEF ministry. This year, Gladys Aylward is the missionary story in the resource pack. The missionary story may be purchased separately from the resource pack as it is the only change in the resource pack for this series.
For the other three series, flashcard visuals and resource pack items remain the same as the 2017-2018 versions. Minor updates in texts have been made in accordance with curriculum standards.
Other improvements include:
- Preschool memory verse IPEAR teachings added to the text sidebar
- Word Up! and main teaching statements added to each Bible lesson text
- Lessons-at-a-Glance are not included at the end of the text; but, they are available on the Resource & PPT CD and download.
- The Resource & PPT CD has extra/new PPT games and text updates.

Christmas Party Club (Emmanuel) is a new lesson designed as an option for those who are not familiar with using CEF material. It is an easy-to-use lesson for first-time church partners or individuals first teaching Christmas Party Clubs. The lesson is shorter than a regular CEF lesson and the schedule is simplified.

Pray for Ukraine
Europe has prepared short teaching spots using Flashcards or PowerPoints (for GNC, 5-DC, VBS or camps) to let children know how to pray for Ukraine. Many have asked for extra help to raise the awareness of the situation. The war really has a worldwide effect. Attached is a practical help to encourage children to pray and there are special activities for every day to help children to remember.
The material is written by a CEF Ukraine worker and it comes from her heart. It is illustrated by a new CEF artist and animator from Brazil, now in Portugal.
Files available to print flashcards or to present in PowerPoint.

Spanish Ministry News
Please share with your bilingual workers and Spanish ministry
¡Hola! As summer ministry is wrapping up, testimonies and feedback are helpful. If you have testimonies or pictures of children in your bilingual or Spanish clubs, please email me. Often pastors are included in meetings for feedback for ways to improve ministry in Spanish. If you have a partnership with a Spanish speaking church and think the pastor would give helpful feedback, please email me their contact information (Erica.Alvarez@cefonline.com).
The school year will be starting soon. It's time to prepare for Good News Club! As a reminder, GNC and CPP forms in Spanish are in the Resource Library. The GNC overview and snapshots are also available. Feel free to contact me as well.

We are excited about what God is doing with digital ministry, so much so, that we want to share it in Spanish! Will you spread the news? The U-Nite promo card is available in Spanish for printing locally. Use this ministry resource with children that attend your Good News Club or party clubs. This is a great way for Spanish speaking families to know where kids can safely stream animated adventures that teach truths from the Bible, music videos to learn and memorize God’s Word, and stories that clearly teach the Gospel.
