Every Child:
God has given His people a clear commission—to reach every creature with the Good News of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our special mission in CEF is to evangelize every child. Mark 16:15, “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” |
Every Nation:
CEF is a worldwide ministry serving in every region of the world in an ever expanding way. Matthew 28:19, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations.” |
Every Day:
We are committed to leading children to be in God’s Word every day. As children grow in their relationship with the Lord through meditating on His Word, they develop godly character, which produces much fruit to the glory of God, including spreading the Gospel to their peers. Psalm 119:2, “Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.” |

For the month of June, we would like to “SPOTLIGHT” our Good News Club Missionary, Stephanie Baughman. When Stephanie was a child, living in Columbia, SC, she really wanted to become an astronaut. One year, she received an amazing Christmas gift from her uncle, a space shuttle model and inside a certificate to attend a U.S. Space Camp in Alabama, where she became the payload specialist as part of the team’s simulated shuttle mission. She was in charge of finding out through science experiments how fuel reacts in space...WOW what an important job!
As Stephanie grew, she learned about another mission that was even MORE important, it is described in Mark 16:15… And he said to them, “Go into the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” (ESV). Stephanie accepted this calling and God sent her specifically to the island of Tasmania (Australia) to share the Gospel with the boys and girls there. She lives in Launceston, where only 3% of the children go to church. Stephanie shares with the children and trains volunteers through Good News and 5-Day Clubs how to become a Child of God!
Stephanie is also part of the Launceston Festivals. Last year, the South Carolina 5-Day Club boys and girls prayed and collected money for her and the festival ministry. Stephanie shared a story that stands out to her of a girl and her grandmother who had traveled (by boat or plane only) from the mainland of Australia who had never heard how to become a child of God. As Stephanie shared the Gospel with her, she chose to believe on Jesus as her Savior from sin. Her grandmother said, “Thank you so much. No one has ever told us that before.” Stephanie knows God is in control and brought this little girl and her grandmother all the way to Launceston to hear the Gospel at the fair.
Stephanie has many more experiences where God has shown her and the children His great plans for her ministry, which include starting more Good News and 5-Day Clubs.
We ask for your prayers and support for Stephanie as she continues to spread the Good News to the people and children of Tasmania and that others will join her in spreading the Gospel.
