There is a new CEF team in Milford with a heart for lost children in their community and dedication to evangelism. It started when Carolyn Horton called long-time friend, Margie Nesteroff, to tell her about CEF and the need for a club in her area. It so happened that Margie was very familiar with CEF because she helped with a Good News Club when she was a student at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, GA. Margie and her husband, Joe, first observed a club in Lebanon and then began telling friends at Faith Evangelical Free Church in Milford about the work CEF is doing and added Roddy and Carol Bullock and Theresa Chumley to the team. Local CEF chapter chairperson, Carol Yockey, will help with the club when needed.
While most clubs are held at elementary schools, this one will be held at the clubhouse of Pebble Brooke Apartments, a low-income housing complex ministered to through a number of Faith Evangelical Free Church outreach programs. Club invitations/permission slips were handed out to 30 kids as they got off the school bus and eight came to the first club on January 22. More permission slips were handed out in the following weeks. Please join us in praising God for His grace and we ask for your prayers for this team and club.
