WARRENTON, Mo., April 27, 2015 /Christian Newswire/ -- Child Evangelism Fellowship® (CEF®), the largest Christian mission agency to children in the world, announces its new Christmas Across America outreach with the goal of telling children who have never heard the true meaning of Christmas. The initiative launches with the goal of reaching 100,000 children with the Gospel in December 2015.

"Can you imagine what would happen if 100,000 children are told the true meaning of Christmas for the first time this year? We believe that is what God is calling us to do," says Moises Esteves, Vice President, USA Ministries for CEF. "We feel a great sense of urgency to bring the Gospel back to the center of Christmas celebrations across America. We want to mobilize others to join us."

Child Evangelism Fellowship currently has offices in 192 countries and 400 chapters in the USA. These chapters train local volunteers to lead weekly Bible clubs and offer other outreach programs throughout the year. CEF USA estimates that they present the Gospel to over 800,000 children every year through current programming alone but they want to do more, particularly to reach those children who do not go to church and may have never heard the Gospel message.

The Christmas Across America outreach is seeking volunteers who will commit to teach and host a Christmas party for unreached children this Christmas season. With each commitment, CEF will provide free training and a party kit with everything needed to teach a Christmas Across America party including:

·         Brand new CEF curriculum celebrating the true Christmas story of Jesus' birth
·         Songs and games to engage the children
·         Ideas for locations and party preparations
·         "Meet the King" Gospel booklets to send home with all participants

Esteves says, "It is important for these parties to be great fun for the kids but first and foremost they are going to hear that Christmas is about a wonderful, loving God who sent his only Son to be their Savior."

To join the Christmas Across America movement, volunteers can learn more online at www.christmasacrossamerica.com or by calling their local CEF chapter. No experience is necessary. CEF will train and screen all teachers in compliance with their Child Protection Policy.

Child Evangelism Fellowship is a Bible-centered organization composed of born-again believers whose purpose is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and to establish (disciple) them in the Word of God and in a local church for Christian living.
