Reaching The Children In Your Neighborhood
Look around your neighborhood. How many children live there~ 10? 25? 50? Would you be surprised to learn that 80% of them do not attend church? How will they hear about the One True God so that they have an opportunity to believe in Him? How will they know the Bible is the Word of God and is applicable to their life? How will they know Jesus is God the Son and the only way to salvation?
Data On Unreached & Unchurched Children In The US
Before we answer how we are going to reach the unreached children in the United States, we’ve put together some information on the state of the United States public. Below is data on unreached children in the United States and the resources we have pulled them from. This is some of the most recent data and information on the public’s attendance to church and their involvement. It also looks at church attender’s views of the Bible and Christ, our savior.
In a 2020 survey 52% of U.S. adults say they believe Jesus
Christ is not God. (Newsweek article by Benjamin Fearnow)
65% of evangelicals believe, “Jesus is the first and the greatest
being created by God.” (Article: One-third of Evangelicals Say Jesus
Was Not God, Polls shows by Lesli White)
A study conducted in 2022 found that “only 20% of Americans
say the Bible is the literal Word of God. That is half of what it
was in 1980 and 1984. (Answers in Genesis July 21, 2022)
Nearly one out of every 5 Americans does not believe in God.
(Gallop poll June 17, 2022)

Ways You Can Help Reach The Lost In Schuylkill County With CEF
There are multiple ways we can reach the unchurched children in Schuylkill County, and we can do it together.
1. Host A Christmas Party Club
Will you prayerfully consider opening your home, church, the community center to host a Christmas Party Club for the unchurched children in your neighborhood? We have the lesson, God is so Great~ a Biblical true story about a boy seeking the answer to his question, “God is the most powerful person of all! So, why would He want to send His Son to earth to be born as a helpless baby?” The lesson packet includes a Scripture memory verse, game ideas, and patterns for name tags.
