My story with CEF began in the spring of 1962 when a young college student presented the Good News of Jesus Christ at a Good News Club in Columbia, SC! God continued to work in my life through Godly parents and a godly church that was evangelistically focused. Through the years I particularly worked with children’s programs from missions’ projects like 5-day clubs, camps, and overseas missions’ projects beginning in my teen years and throughout my ministry as a Senior Pastor.
For the past seven years as a pastor in Montgomery, Alabama, I became very involved in Child Evangelism Fellowship Good News Clubs where I led one of the three clubs for at least 5 years. Between the three clubs over that time, I personally saw 25 children make professions of faith in Christ and many more made professions of faith over that time at our other clubs.
As a pastor part of my burden was to lead people to Christ and to help equip my members to share their faith and make disciples. I find that Child Evangelism Fellowship helped us achieve those goals and now I want to help other churches and other pastors to evangelize and disciple and to build the local church through conversions of these children, their families and even the communities around them.
