2020 Ministry Report: COVID interrupted a typically big year of ministry to city kids.

How over 7,000+ children were reached even during the restrictive COVID pandemic

— CEF Durham conducted Summer Camps with reading, 5-Day Clubs, etiquette, life skills, and character development (no sports per COVID) all via Zoom with close to 80% attendance daily for six weeks

— CEF Teams did Weekly Visits in communities, where we minister regularly, with breakfast, care packages, Wonder Why? booklets distributed, singing, and prayer with city kids and their families (COVID guidelines)

— Bike distributions, with a helmet, vest, and a bike light for all city kids attending Good News Club in one downtown community provided a need and further contact with families

— COVID-Relief supplies, food, and devotional books were distributed to city kids and their families in a community where we have weekly outreach and clubs. This was accomplished with a financial grant from the Duke-Durham Fund, local churches, and the residents collaboratively meeting expressed needs of this community throughout the summer and fall
