About Us
CEF in Europe
Since 1947 when five missionaries arrived in Europe from USA, the work has grown to become one of the largest missions serving throughout the continent.
The CEF region goes from Greenland in the West to Russia in the East and from Finland in the North to Italy in the South.
Over 500 staff workers are assisted by many thousands of volunteer teachers and committee members. A CEF ministry exists in 42 countries of which eight are members of CEF of Nations (CEFON) a fellowship of countries with a well-developed work. It is encouraging to know that over 300,000 children learn of the Saviour each year through all forms of outreach. Hundreds of Christians attend Teacher Training Courses and CEF teaching materials are available in 29 languages. CEF is committed to taking the wonderful message of the Gospel to all children.
The CEF headquarters for Europe is at Kilchzimmer in Switzerland, where each year two Children's Ministry Leadership Courses (CMLC) are held. Extension CMLCs are held in other countries. The Multimedia Department is continually developing new teaching and training materials.
While there is much to thank God for in the growth of CEF ministries, still today countless thousands of children across Europe grow up not hearing of the Lord Jesus Christ and His salvation. Materialism is the spirit of the age, leaving no room for God.
Many more workers are needed in every country but especially we are asking God to provide missionaries for Belgium, Bosnia, Britain, Italy and Norway. In Eastern Europe many national workers are ready to serve, but need financial help from other countries.
Our Purpose
CEF is an international Bible-centred organization composed of born again believers. Our mission is to train and equip Christians around the world to evangelise unreached children with the Word of God, disciple them and establish them in a local Bible-believing church. This is accomplished through:Child Evangelism Fellowship International Statement of Faith
