“My pastor saw the gift of evangelism in me at an early age and strongly encouraged me to do it. I did not want to do it, I was terrified! I didn’t think I could teach others about God. But I knew it was something God wanted me to do, so I decided to do it. I am so glad I did! CEF taught me how to follow God even when I didn’t see results. I learned how to be humble in ministry and do things for God’s kingdom not my personal benefit. But most of all, God used CEF to ignite a passion for ministry in my heart. I had grown up knowing that it was important to go and make disciples (Matthew 28:19-20), but until that point I had never actually done it. And when I did submit my life to service and telling others, I found that I was growing closer to God than ever before. The  training I received through CYIA training school taught me many of the skills I needed to be successful in ministry! My attitude went from, “No God! Not me!” to “Here I am! Lord, send me!” (Isaiah 6:8) instead. I thought I’d be done with CEF after my last summer a summer missionary in 2010. But God led me back to it in 2013 when I got an e-mail saying that the local CEF chapter wanted to hire a student to work in the office and also help with Good News Clubs. I volunteered and got the job! I became the Office Associate and Children’s Ministry Specialist of CEF of Broome County. I love my job and the experience I have had there! I am more passionate about reaching children for Christ than I have ever been before and that passion continues to grow. The work has blessed me so much and my love for the children that need Jesus has grown.”
