My heart is heavy is for our children, and listed below are just a few reasons why.
Did you know that there are certain sex traffickers who target Christian girls? (1)
Did you know that in the Democratic Republic of Congo up to 40,000 children work in cobalt mines? Cobalt is used in electric car batteries. (2)
Did you know “the Physiological Society, an organization of more than 3,500 scientists from over 60 countries, reports that the loss of a smartphone is perceived to be almost as stressful as a terrorist threat?” (3)
Did you know the average age a child sees pornography is 11? (4)
Did you know there are approximately 16,400 elementary age children in Schuylkill County and CEF is reaching about 61 boys and girls through the Good News Club ministry?
Our children, the children in our communities, the children in our churches, the children in our schools, the children in our families, the children in our nation, the children in our world need to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Salvation in found in Him and Him alone.
Due to the pandemic, ministry to children (youth groups and Sunday schools) has slowed down or come to a halt.
CEF of Schuylkill County has not stopped sharing the Gospel and we won’t stop. The stakes are too high.
Will you help us reach the children with the Gospel. We have the materials. We have the locations. We have the volunteers.
Will you help to get the children to one of the locations listed in this newsletter?
…because now you know.
