How does my gift contribute to the work of CEF?
Ministries
We offer and run Go Clubs and Good News Clubs free of charge, and your gift ensures that we’re able to keep it this way. That includes training, program materials, transportation, and compensation for staff and teen missionaries. For example, it costs roughly $100 for the materials to start a Good News Club and $60 for each subsequent set of lessons.
Training
Along with our ministries, we offer children’s ministry training free of charge to churches all over our chapter. Your gift allows us to continue to cover the time, materials, and transportation costs to continue this valuable resource for children’s ministry teachers all over northeast North Dakota and northwest Minnesota.
Go Training is a 10-day program designed specifically for summer missionaries to prepare them for their mission work. Depending on the chosen ministry track, the cost ranges from $4,000 to $6,000. This investment helps equip our summer missionaries with the tools and knowledge they need to serve and make an effective impact in their mission field.
Scholarships
For families of teens applying for Go Training or children registering for Camp Good News, the costs of attending these programs may be prohibitive to their attendance. Go Training costs $275 per teen, and Camp Good News is $125 per child. You can give a gift that will ensure a teen receives training for summer ministry, or so a child may attend a week of fun, hearing the good news of Jesus Christ, and growing in God’s word.
