Take the case of Austin*. It’s not that Austin, a third
grader, is a bad kid or spoiled brat …. So you can imagine his school
teacher, Mrs. Hanson’s surprise when the following event occurred.
It was the week after Christmas break
in a Georgia
elementary school. While making the morning announcements, the principal
reminded the children there would be no Good
News Club® that day…it would resume the next week.
When the announcement was over, Austin shot out of his
desk and cried out, “Call her back and tell her we have to have Good News Club TODAY!! It has to
be today!! I've waited too long!!”

The Teaching Children Effectively Level 1 online course equips students with basic skills and effective methods to evangelize children and immediately begin a neighborhood outreach. Through lectures, online class interaction, demonstrations and practice, students are trained just as effectively as in they are in a classroom setting. Read this testimony from Eileen Dowd, a recent online student, as she shares her story about the effectiveness of this online course.
Yesterday at club I
noticed a third grader who wasn't taking part in her small group. She was
detached, uninterested, and determined to stay that way. Last week I tried to
engage her in conversation, but she refused to answer my questions or make eye
contact. Last night I made the decision to speak to her parents about her
behavior - if she wasn't going to participate, maybe she would rather not be at
club ... and maybe my job would be a bit easier if I didn't have to worry about
the situation.

Flags Flying at International Headquarters
Every week Child Evangelism Fellowship® head quarters staff and volunteers gather in the International Plaza to raise nine flags and then pray for those countries.
