From GOD CAN at Good News Clubs in schools...

“Help me find a way to get closer to my REAL DADDY because he is in Guatemala and I miss him so much and I LOVE him more than life itself.”

"...that I will be good all month."

"Please help all my enemies."

"...that I will stop fighting."

"Dear God, bless my whole family, please, and let summer break come soon so I can see my dad, please!!!!!"

“I want You in my heart...”

"Aren't we going to pray?" Asked a middle school student after finishing the HiSStory booklet. He bowed his own head and ask Christ to be his Savior.

Child Evangelism Fellowship® of North Carolina - Durham has a simple, but profound threefold purpose: to evangelize children and youth up to 14 years of age with the Gospel, disciple each through the Word of God, and connect local churches to them.  We have a priority calling to reach city kids, especially the under-resourced and those not attending a Bible-centered church.

What if for 10 years...? Durham Urban Missions Network has an answer.
Is God powerful enough to prevent kids from joining gangs?  Does the Word of God still have answers for today's problems?  What if the young men charged with the murders of a Duke and UNC student in 2008 had attended a Good News Club as a child?  Would it have made any difference in their lives?  

What if the Church of Durham took seriously its responsibility for taking the Gospel to city kids and youth?  What if for 10 years a collaboration of churches and ministries comprehensively served the 10 most physically and spiritually needy communities in Durham?  These are the communities where crime and evil have dominated life for way too long; where kids are not expected to succeed.

These are the communities where the words: at-risk, under-resourced, and marginalized are experienced everyday in the lives of kids and families.  These are the communities where God has been rejected, yet screams out to be glorified!  Where He desires that the residents welcome Him back into their homes and into their communities.

CEF along with several partnering ministries, a few churches, and a growing number of local Christians are focusing there efforts for 10 years upon 10 under resourced communities in Durham.  This collaborative group, while maintaining the identity of each ministry, calls itself the Durham Urban Missions Network.  A simple strategy of discipleship will be used.  CEF will offer weekly Good News Clubs, educational resources, church partnership training, and special events for each community.  Others will provide after school tutoring, creative arts, community service, development, and prayer.  Our vision is to see city kids and families transformed by the Gospel.  As disciples of Christ, they will take responsibility for the transformation of their own communities.
