Encouraging news from the CEF Regional Conference
Did you know that CEF is a worldwide ministry reaching boys and girls with the gospel in nearly every country in the world?!
Last week was the first CEF North America/Caribbean Regional Conference since 2018 (when Ontario last hosted it). CEF workers from Canada, USA, and English speaking Caribbean countries were present. Over 280 people attended, representing 27 nations.
Here are a few highlights from the week;
- 3 Haitians were able to attend the conference – Due to the unrest in Haiti they had to take a helicopter from one part of the island to another They then went from one airport to another to make it to the conference. -It was humbling to see their incredible dedication to being equipped to reach kids with the gospel.
- I, Ivhan Rusli, and John Gaddye (CEFOntario Board Member) had the privilege of leading six workshops throughout the week.
- Several Canadians were able to attend the conference! Here’s a picture of the ones we could find.

It was a special experience to worship and serve with other believers from many countries.
CEF Worldwide is currently reaching 25 million annually. A long-term vision was cast that in the next 10-15 years CEF Worldwide would reach 100 million children annually. It is an incredibly huge vision, but one that we know is not too big for our God.
I want you to know that your support, your prayers, financial gifts, and encouragement play a part in fulfilling that vision.
Whether you are able to give once, or monthly, we thank you for your unwavering support.
