Our ministry’s calling and work is to reach
“Every Child, Every Nation, Every Day”
Our Vision
Child Evangelism Fellowship is an international Bible-centered organization composed of born-again believers whose purpose is to evangelize children and Middle School students with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and to disciple them in the Word of God and in a local church for Christian living.
The Orange Coast Chapter of Child Evangelism Fellowship lives out this vision and purpose on a local level within our community, largely through local missionaries, volunteers, and partnerships with local churches.
Our Purpose: A Note from Our CEF President Emeritus of International Ministries
For over 80 years God has been using Child Evangelism Fellowship to bring the love of Jesus Christ to children around the world. The Word of God puts a high priority on children. They are near to God’s heart and we believe that He is uniquely concerned about their spiritual welfare. Without the foundation of a relationship with God and training in Biblical principles for life they are unequipped to face what life will throw at them.
With workers in countries around the world, CEF had personal, individual ministry with more than 25.4 million children last year. God has given us a passion to not only bring children into a right relationship with God, but to disciple them in His Word and establish them in Bible teaching churches so that they can become mature in their faith.
I am convinced that there is no work that is more pertinent or effective. Perhaps God is leading you to become more involved in the lives of children, for His kingdom’s sake.
CEF is here to train, equip and encourage you as you follow that leading. I trust that this [CEF International] website will be a rich resource for you and that God will use you in a tremendous way to make an eternal difference in the lives of boys and girls.
For His Name among the children,
Reese R. Kauffman
President Emeritus of Child Evangelism Fellowship
