REACHING CHILDREN WHERE THEY ARE
Good News Clubs
Good News Club (GNC) is a weekly meeting held in a home, school or church building. Children meet at a location close to their home to learn from the Bible. A typical programme includes songs, memory verse, Bible lesson, quizzes and other crafts and activities. In a world that is often characterised by chaos, GNC provides structure and stability in a child’s week.
Children’s Camps
Camp is a 5 – 7 day event usually during the summer or winter holidays. Good News Club children look forward all year to attending camp. A week in a Christian atmosphere learning about God and His ways. All this, combined with great fun, activities, adventures, making friends and good food makes camp an event to remember in the life of a child.
Christmas Together
Across Europe, Christmas is celebrated by many. For some it is about family time, for some it is an opportunity to take time off and relax and for others there is a desire to remember the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. Whatever the reason, we have found that many, many schools, kindergartens and other places welcome CEF teams to come in to take a Christmas programme. God has kept the celebration of Christmas alive in Europe and we want to use it as an opportunity to tell the Good News that God keeps His promises and at just the right time, He sent forth His Son. A message we believe is worth telling. And at Christmas time, God gives us the opportunity to do that!
CityKids Ministries
Inner city children tend to be very busy! Many after school activities of every description. Time for the things of God is often pushed to the side for sports, music, foreign language learning and more. What if we could help with this as well as take the Gospel message? Music Clubs, Language Clubs, Sports Clubs and even LEGO building clubs are what CityKids ministries are all about. We want your children to improve in their skills, but we want them to know the greatest truth of all. CityKids ministries combine teaching the Word of God with other important activities for children.

Online Bible
Correspondence Course
We love the BCC ministry. It has been instrumental in the lives of hundreds of thousands of children over the years. There is something special about opening the Bible and learning from God’s Word in your own home.
The Bible Correspondence has moved online and we have found that many hundreds of children still want to learn about God! And God continues to bless this ministry!
Other Online Ministries
Zoom, YouTube, Vimeo and FaceBook are just some of the ways that CEF workers across Europe are using to keep in contact with children and teens when they cannot attend clubs or meetings.
It is also a great opportunity to share Christian videos, Bible stories and much more. Children spend much time online and we praise God for the opportunity He has given us to use this opportunity to provide quality Bible teaching.
We believe that God is at work in a special way among children and teens in Europe.
God encourages us through these testimonies and we trust you will be encouraged too!
“I received a message from a girl, now a young woman, from the street children I had previously taught in the Good News Club. I had led her in prayer to Christ. I am still praying for these children. I told God I would love to know if the seed sown has any fruit. This girl is now an active Christian attending church. God really does accomplish His will, as He says in His Word!”
