ABOUT US
Child Evangelism Fellowship is a Bible-centered 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 Word of God and in a local church for Christian living. CEF is a worldwide ministry, but also locally focused.
​
CEF was founded in 1937 by Rev. J. Irvin Overholtzer, a man with a God-given vision for boys and girls in need of the Savior. Today his vision lives on.
CEF has two main focuses of ministries- school year and summer time ministries. Good News Clubs are our main school year ministry that meet weekly, bi-weekly or monthly in public schools across the country.
​
Summer time ministries consist of 5-Day Clubs, which is like VBS on wheels. We partner with local churches to do VBS' during the summer.
