What is a

Good News Club®?

Good News Clubs® are where boys and girls ages 5 through 12 gather with their friends to sing interesting visualized songs.  They enjoy playing games that help them memorize a verse from God’s Word.  Through the missionary time they learn of children around the world who are following Jesus.  The visualized Bible story applies God’s Word to what is happening in their lives.  They play review games that help them remember what was taught.  An opportunity to receive Jesus Christ as Savior is given.  Activities that help them grow in Christ are presented.

Where does a

Good News Club

meet?

Good News Clubs® meet in the neighborhood where children live.  We want to make it easy and convenient for them to attend.  They meet most often in the friendly atmosphere of a home.  This home can serve as a link between the church and child’s home,  bringing the good news right to where the child lives.  They can meet in a community center, school or most anywhere children will gather together.

Who teaches a

Good News Club?

Christians who are concerned for boys and girls work together volunteering their time and energy to teach Good News Clubs®.  They are trained by Child Evangelism Fellowship® of Nova to have a club that is exciting and informative so that children will want to keep coming.  Teachers are asked to sign the CEF® Statement of Faith and agree to abide by the policies of the organization (CEF is noncharismatic).

What a

Good News Club

can do for a

neighborhood;

A Good News Club can identify a home in the neighborhood that is safe for a child to go to in time of trouble.  It brings the teaching of biblical morality to his neighborhood.  It connects the child and his family to others where they live developing a good community spirit.  When you leave your home on Sunday to go to Church, others in your neighborhood know you are religious.  When you teach children in your neighborhood God’s Word, your neighborhood learns what you believe.

What is Christian Youth® in Action?

CYIA® is a great way to learn how to effectively share the Gospel message with boys and girls.  Child Evangelism Fellowship® of Nova has many young people just like you who participate in this program each summer.  Not only does CEF of Nova provide the training but also many opportunities to witness the miracle that takes place in children who hear and receive the good news.

Is CYIA for you?

Have you ever wanted to witness a miracle?  Have you ever felt the need to share the message of salvation with someone who’s never heard?  Have you ever wished you really knew how?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, then CYIA is for you!

Who can go?

CYIA is open to high-school and college-age young people who know the Lord as their Savior and want God to use them during the summer to impact the world.

How long?

Most of the training sessions are held during the last week of June.  Training is lots of work but also lots of fun.  It’s always exciting to be with others who love the Lord and are serious about serving God.

Locations?

Summer ministries vary from town to town, but the main focus for summer is 5-Day Club®.  A 5-Day club is a neighborhood Bible club held in a home, backyard, park, or other location one hour a day for five consecutive days.
