Reaching Children

Reaching Children in South Africa

The ministry of Child Evangelism Fellowship South Africa, started in 1947. This was ten years after CEF was founded by Jesse Irvin Overholtzer in 1937. Celebrating 60 years of ministry to our children in South Africa brings back many memories. Through many years there were faithful men and women serving in this organization. Some have left our ranks to another calling but God’s faithfulness through all the years is clearly visible.

We are currently 27 fulltime workers and over 300 volunteer workers reaching over 70 000 children in 2006. We are ministering to over 50 000 children on a weekly basis. More than 20 000 children received our Lord Jesus as Saviour.

We realize that this is just a drop in the ocean taking in consideration that there are more than 15 million children under the age of 15 years in South Africa. Every year more than a million children are born in this country. Surely there are enough work but the workers are still few. We don’t know if we will still have another 60 years to share the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ. Prayerfully consider to become part of this wonderful ministry to our children.
