Child Evangelism Fellowship Chicago

Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!

Well we are on our way to another year “2010″. Another opportunity to reach children for Christ. Over the Christmas and New Years holiday, I spent time with my family. We prayed and gave thanks for the past year and the year ahead. I am looking forward to the new challenges of sharing the gospel with many, many more children this year. Please PRAY with me that lives are changed for God’s glory. Please also PRAY that our world which we live in recognizes that all things can only be done through Christ who strengthens us. And that he is the light and the way!

PRAISE REPORT!! I’ve been asked to take on the responsibility of Youth Director at my church “Crossroads Church of Hillside”, of which I humbly accepted. To be considered for such an important duty is an honor. It is a blessing to have God work through me in such a way that my Pastor, his Wife the Deacons and other Church Members have witnessed the growth and have faith that I can be a valuable part of the Church team. It is incredible to be used in this way.

May God continue to richly bless and keep you as he is doing in me. He is an awesome God!

Closing Thought: Matthew 18:6
But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

This is one example of how God feels about his children, and why we are to let them come to him and teach them the way to go.

We had 17 children today for our Christmas Party Lesson, “The Message of a Star”. An incredible lesson about how God would use stars to get new messages to people, particularly the wise men of the Bible. And how today God no longer gives us a new message through a star. The secret to understanding more about God is to obey what He tells you in the Bible, and His Holy Spirit will help you understand new things from God’s word. How amazing.

Today, one young girl said to me, I took a permission slip to give to one of my friends, and she said no thank you, because my Mom will say no, she always says no. The young girl, a child of Christ said please take it and believe! Because God can change anything, they might change their minds and say yes. Her friend said ok and took the permission slip. God is working in the lives of these young children. Stay tuned for more updates.

Today’s memory verse: Jeremiah 29:10 “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart”.

I am looking forward to keeping you posted with all the latest things happening with the ministry!

Teaching Children Effectively starts January 11th at Moody Bible Institute.

I am very excited about this new website. It is a great way to keep you updated about all that is going on here in the South/Southwest portion of the Chicagoland area to reach boys and girls for Christ!

Hello
This is a first comment on Chicago official Website

This is why I do what I do………: ……..Our Future Leaders.

Today was the last day of TCE1 (Teaching Children Effectively Class) and I passed! As mentioned a few months ago, this class has equipped me to Lead A Child to Christ, Coordinate Good News Clubs effectively, conduct a Bible Lesson, and teach memory verses using simple, yet effective ways of memorization. It has been a wonderful class and I am looking forward to attending Children’s Ministry Institute (CMI) to become even more equipped to spread God’s word and impact lives of children across the land.

Thank you for your PRAYERS and your partnering. Where I am, you will be too, as we spread the Good News to all who hear.

Blessing for an amazing season with the Lord.

Yes, Lord, Yes, Lord, Yes Yes Lord. You all know that song. We had a yes Lord time today with the children. We broke up into small groups and spent a little get to know you time. I learned that two of the chilrden had accepted the Lord some time ago and are children of God. One of them wants to someday be with her father, who she believes is in heaven. She currently lives with her mom and misses her dad very much, so much, it is still a very sensitive discussion. Another student, lives with her Mom and has 4 sisters and 4 other brothers and she loves the Lord and wants all the family to be together.

In looking at the getting to know you responses, all of the children have high ambitions some want to be astronaunts, doctors, veteranarians, teachers, construction workers, handymen, basketball players, and even a President and yes someone said a Missionary like me. They understand that God wants them to live as the Bible teaches and that hard work and committment are necessary to reach these goals. The Bible tells us “I can do all things through Christ which strengthenth me” Phil 4:13.

Take a look at some of the responses when we asked them to write down what they believe God wants them to do. To pray to him, to help others, to please Him, how about that! These children had some very…yes Lord answers and this makes our Lord and Savior proud.

Next week is the last session before the winter school break and we will be hosting our Christmas party lesson. The Message of A Star, it is a beautiful Christmas story, that the children and leaders will enjoy. I look forward to sharing more good news from the Good News Club.

We are asking for PRAYER partners and are enlisting all our friends and famlly to continue to pray for us as we move into the holiday season, PRAY that as we start back up in January, we will have even more children to hear the gospel. Last, but certainly not least, we passed around the “God can”. Here is where the children can place their prayer requests on a sheet of paper, place them in the God can and we then pray for their specific requests. Here are some prayer requests to be lifted up.

*prayer to be a great kid and to be saved
*prayer that God will be their savior
*prayer for their sin
*prayer for their Mom
*prayer for the sick to get better

Please lift these requests up in prayer and PRAY for continued spiritual growth.

Be Blessed! from your Good News Club
Al, Angela, Connie, Jerry, Len, Linda, Mattie and Roosevelt

Please PRAY for the wonderful team of Leaders of the Good News Club who have partnered so that the word of the Lord continues to be spread.
