Because not all kids in the Miami Valley know about Jesus.
Several times during the summer of 2021, a child or teen told us “Why hasn’t anyone ever told us this?” It’s eye-opening to discover first-hand that there are many kids in this area who do not have the blessing of growing up in church or even being taught about Jesus. In addition, there are many kids who, for a multitude of reasons, grow up in homes without loving and attentive parents. These kids often seek that love and attention elsewhere and end up in trouble. And that’s not to mention the influence of media on children today, who end up seeing God as a superhero who can fly and lift heavy things instead of understanding God as the Lord.
This spiritual need among children in the Miami Valley is why Child Evangelism Fellowship of Ohio, Miami Valley Chapter (CEFMV) ministers to children in Montgomery, Greene, Preble, Darke, Clinton, Clark, Champaign, and Miami counties. We do that through several strategic ministries, including Good News Club®, 5-Day Club®, Good News Inner-City Blitz and Good News Tent. Through these ministries, as well as several other programs, CEFMV had the incredible privilege of reaching just over 6,000 children in our counties.
We hope that you will partner with us in this vital work by praying, giving, or going.
