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.

Experiences In May


"We attended the National Day of Prayer at Compass Church in Salinas, where we had the opportunity to pray for Our nation.  Here I had the opportunity to connect with Pastor Sarmiento and his wife Lynda, from Compass Church in Spanish, who then agreed to invite me to their Church to share what we do at CEF. It was very beautiful the welcome they gave me and the availability of 4 sisters in Christ to learn more about CEF and want to serve as volunteers.  


At the volunteer appreciation celebration, I was able to meet more volunteers and connect with Janet Jacinto, a volunteer from Marina, Ca. We agreed to create a 5 day club at their Church, Marina Tabernacle for this summer.


I was able to take part in a volunteer training for the first time and the experience was beautiful, meaningful and fun. The Lord has shown me time and time again that when our hearts are willing to do what He commands us, He will always support us."

2025-2026 Good News Clubs Finale

What God has accomplished over the last school year has been so encouraging to us! We served more than 240 kiddos in Good News Clubs alone, and 21 of them accepted Jesus as their Savior. We started the first ever Club in Hollister, which has led to new partnerships and eager volunteers.

As the year was coming to an ends, the entire Ord Terrace Club wanted Bibles! One girl couldn't be at Club the day Bibles were being given, and was really upset. So upset that her mom called us to explain, and we were able to leave a Bible for her to collect. So many children eager for more of God's Word is exactly why we are in this ministry.
