About Child Evangelism Fellowship
Child Evangelism Fellowship was founded in 1937 by Rev. J. Irvin Overholtzer, a man with a God-given vision for boys and girls in need of the Savior. Today his vision lives on.
CEF® is a Bible-centered, worldwide organization composed of born-again believers whose purpose is to evangelize children with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and to establish (disciple) them in the Word of God and in a local church for Christian living.
CEF wants to reach the children with the Gospel. Our concern in seeking to evangelize them is that “not one of these little ones should perish.”
Child Evangelism Fellowship Cares About…
-
Discipling Children
Children must be established (discipled) in their Christian lives through the Word of God. They need to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” -
Establishing children in Bible-believing churches
Evangelized children need to be in the local church where they can continue growing on a regular basis. In this way, CEF serves the church and assists in the goal of church growth. -
Involving other Christians in ministry to children
CEF’s greatest need is for those who will see the fields which are “white unto harvest” and become involved in this outreach to children of the world.
The CEF Southeast IN Chapter serves the counties of: Bartholomew • Clark • Dearborn • Decatur Fayette • Franklin • Jefferson • Jennings Johnson • Ohio • Ripley • Rush • Scott Shelby • Switzerland • Union
