​How to help

Child Evangelism Fellowship® is a non-profit organization.  Your prayer support is coveted, your volunteer work is needed and your contibutions are greatly appreciated.  All donations are tax deductible.



Since 1937

Child Evangelism Fellowship®, also known as CEF®, is a Bible-centered, worldwide organization composed of born-again believers whose purpose is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and to establish (disciple) them in the local church for Christian living. CEF® has over 3,200 missionaries overseas, approximately 95% of whom are nationals. In the USA and Canada 700 full-time workers and an estimated 40,000 volunteers serve the ministry. CEF® was founded by Jesse Irvin Overholtzer in 1937.

For over 83 years God has been using Child Evangelism Fellowship® to bring the love of Jesus Christ to children around the world. The Word of God puts a high priority on children. They are near to God's heart and we believe that He is uniquely concerned about their spiritual welfare. Without the foundation of a relationship with God and training in Biblical principles for life they are unequipped to face what life will throw at them.

International

With workers in over 195 countries around the world, CEF® had personal, individual ministry with more than 19.8 million children last year. God has given us a passion to not only bring children into a right relationship with God, but to disciple them in His Word and establish them in Bible teaching churches so that they can become mature in their faith.
