Christian Youth In Action 2020
/Greetings,
I would like to share with you about a summer ministry opportunity for the teens of your church. Christian Youth in Action (CYIA) is a ministry of Child Evangelism Fellowship. It is an opportunity for teens 12-19 to receive a week of ministry training and then go with their team to teach 5-Day Clubs for children around their area. CYIAs must attain age 12 by June 1st.
5-Day Clubs include five parts: a Bible Lesson with a counseling time afterward for those who wish, a daily memory verse, songs, a missionary story, and a review game.
This year the training camp will be June 7th-13th in Clanton, Alabama, at Raleigh’s Place. Teens will be trained in how to work with children (ages 5-12), presenting the gospel, teaching Bible Lessons, public speaking, and many other useful topics. Teens will also both see and perform demonstrations of each part of the club. Please apply by April 30th.
I first volunteered with the CYIA program because I felt called by God to be a missionary to Nicaragua. Through CYIA, I learned so much about working with different ages, public speaking, flexibility, and teamwork. But most importantly, my time as a CYIAer has taught me to trust God that He knows best, is in control, and will help and equip me to do His will. Not only that, but I have also formed deep friendships with others who encourage me in my walk with the Lord. These lessons have continued to help me as I continue the path to becoming a full time missionary and in daily life.
Please join with us and spread the word about the CYIA program. Share it with any teens in your life who are looking for outlets in which to serve the Lord. Right now, people are confused and looking for truth and hope—it is the perfect time to spread the gospel! If you or anyone you know have any questions or would like to apply, feel free to contact me, our Local Director Dr. Jim Simoneau, or our Good News Club Coordinator & Teacher Trainer Kathryn Burleson.
Sincerely,
Rachel Uithoven
