Meet Jeremiah Cho at new President of Child Evangelism Fellowship

The Child Evangelism Fellowship International Board of Trustees is grateful to God for calling Jeremiah to serve as President and lead CEF into the future, reaching children of the world with the Good News of the Gospel. Reverend Jeremiah and his wife Sarah will relocate from Seoul, South Korea to Warrenton, Missouri, USA.

Jeremiah has served full time with CEF for the past 34 years in several roles including Local Director and National Director for CEF of South Korea where he directed a staff of over 200 workers reaching 325,000 children. He was a missionary to Sri Lanka and opened the country to CEF ministry. From 2014 to the present, he has served as Regional Director in a sensitive region with 28 countries. God used Jeremiah to grow that ministry from 137 to 387 workers and increase the number of children reached from 700,000 to 7.5 million annually, pre-COVID.

Through our community and school-based Good News Clubs, sports camps, character education, and collaborative events with dozens of ministry partners, we’ve been able to fulfill our mission with children of all ages. Our presence, specifically in Durham, is to families under-served, marginalized, and/or with the greatest challenges to access social, financial, educational, and spiritual resources.
