Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, 

baptizing them in the name of the Father

and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 28:19

 

Every Child. Every Nation. Every Day.

Dare to be a Daniel

At our first two open-air soccer outreaches, two different Daniel's responded to the invitation! These boys were compelled by the love of Christ to set aside time with friends to dig deeper into the gospel and accept Christ's offer of salvation. May we all dare to be more like these Daniels and respond to God's call on our lives.

Celebrate America

We are so in awe at how God works! This 4th of July we were invited to have a table at Compass Church's Celebrate America event, and we were able to see the fruit of CEF come alive before our eyes. While we have had a table there in previous years, this year was something special!


We were privileged to have CYIA (Christian Youth In Action) teens from the Greater Sacramento Area AND Silicon Valley come and volunteer, as well as our two local teens from Greenfield! Some of these teens were trained just this summer in how to share the Gospel, and they were already putting those skills to use. It was a sweet moment to see the future of the church, the next generation, at work before us, and to know that the prayers and efforts of our volunteers and staff through CEF are truly planting seeds that are growing in these kids! Because we first obeyed the Great Commission, these teens were able to take up the torch and themselves obey.


Because of these teens and their heart for the Lord, we were able to share the Gospel with 118 children, and 26 of them accepted Jesus as their Savior! God is so good to use us broken humans in accomplishing His divine purposes.


Upcoming CEF Events

Back To School Rally & Good News Club Training


Calling all returning and new volunteers! Our annual mandatory Back to School Rally is just around the corner on Saturday, August 22 at 9am at FBC Salinas. This is our one mandatory meeting for all our returning and new volunteers, so please do your very best to make it!


(If your club didn't already turn in last year's binder, please bring it so we can reuse it.)

This year we will also have a GNC training for all new volunteers right after the rally.


Lunch will be provided 🍜


Bonus: If you are a returning volunteer and recruit a new GNC volunteer, you will receive a raffle ticket for a special prize! One ticket per new recruit.

5 Day Clubs


5 Day Clubs are back! At 5-Day club children play games, sing songs, and hear about God's love for them as we learn how God can Turn Us Around!
