Christian Youth in Action

Christian Youth in Action® is a CEF ministry designed to train young people in effective and engaging ways to teach children about God. Students will attend a one-week training camp where they learn to present the Gospel clearly on a child’s level, counsel a child for salvation, and lead a dynamic Bible club ministry for children called the 5-Day Club.

"Since volunteering for CYIA it helped me to realize what God wanted me to do with my life. It also helped my relationship with God to grow stronger than ever."
Dalton H. Bailey
