This is our last week of 5-Day Clubs!
Our teens have served faithfully this summer and reached over 230 children in 13 clubs. They shared the Gospel clearly from their heart
and 4 children professed to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Many more children had questions about their salvation and wanted to
talk about what it means to be a Christian. I am so proud of each of them. Please continue to pray for Lincoln, Urijah, Natalie, Chloe,
Sarah, Hannah and Rebekah as they begin school in the coming weeks. Many of these teens plan to continue ministry during the school year.
If you would like to serve on a team with them at a Good News Club, or if you would like to participate with our party clubs or special
events for children, please reach out to Miranda at .
Saturday is a fundraiser for Good News Club!
Please stop by between 9am and 2pm to say hello and hear testimonies from the teens at the Free Garage Sale on Saturday, August 20th. The donations are
going to help kick start our fall ministries.
Kitsap County Fair and Stampede is next week!
Over a dozen volunteers have signed up to help share the Gospel at our fair booth next week. We will be making the beaded wordless book bracelets and handing out our Jesus Loves You backpacks. We could use some help, so if you want to join us, please let Miranda know by emailing her at asap so we can take care of the necessary paperwork.

To God be all Glory!
August 2022 wraps up my first full ministry year with CEF. I began this position with just a handful of faithful volunteers who love God and love children. These men and woman served the Lord, supported me and jumped to answer my call to reach the kids in ways that were not normal to how we\'re used to doing things.
CEF of Kitsap and Gig Harbor now has over 40 volunteers. Through these volunteers, we reached over 680 children since last September! Stay tuned for my annual report after fair next week.
I am inspired by the ability and faithfulness of my team. I am blessed by a supportive committee. I am energized by the teens who want to serve the Lord with all their heart, soul and strength. We now have active ministry in Gig Harbor, Burley, Olalla, Port Orchard and Bremerton. There are over 25,000 elementary aged children in our chapter. I would love to add more volunteers and bring ministry back to Silverdale, Poulsbo, and the surrounding communities.
If you've made it this far through my email update, I want to personally thank you. Your prayers, financial support, and time mean so much. We have important work to do. If you are not already involved, please consider participating. If you would like some resources or ideas to reach the children in your neighborhood, just ask. I would love to share.
