Young lives transformed through CEF Christmas Party Clubs

Child Evangelism Fellowship have been expanding their ministry in recent years by conducting Christmas Party Clubs (CPC).  These are meetings for children based around the Christmas message but presenting the Gospel - they are conducted in places where there are no regular children’s meetings. Through Christmas Party Clubs many children are hearing the Gospel for the first time through volunteers who have been trained. It is hoped that new Good News Clubs will be formed as a result of these Christmas Clubs. We in the Revival Movement Association printed and shipped around 70,000 Flashcard lessons for these clubs this past year.


The following is a collection of testimonies from Christmas Party Clubs conducted in the last few weeks in the Philippines.

“In one of our CPCs in school, a pupil asked if we were Christians. When I answered yes, he replied, “Ahh that’s why”.  Curious about the comment, I asked why. “Because the teaching is so clear” was his encouraging reply.  Praise the Lord for working in the heart of this pupil to be able to spot the difference in our teaching from those teaching religion in the school.” CPC Volunteer Teacher.

I was teaching a Grade 5 class, when I noticed a young boy sitting at the front with a head covering. Right away I thought he was a Muslim and I began praying that God would speak to his heart. I was listening intently to his answers especially when I mentioned the Lord Jesus. We just started the Bible lesson when he excused himself to attend their class called Madrasah. Sad that he had to go, I kept teaching knowing that it is the Holy Spirit’s work to convict the hearts of the children. After some time, the boy came back and listened attentively to the teaching. Most importantly, he prayed to receive Jesus when the invitation was given! Hallelujah, what joy that was for me! We did not have time for individual counselling, but I leave it to God who is able to make the seed that was planted to grow and bear fruit.  (CPC Volunteer Teacher)
It almost took us eight hours of travel, plus going up a hanging bridge in order to reach our CPC destination. Praise God for making the trip possible. Brgy. San Fernando, Jiabong Western Samar is one of the many communities (barangays) with unreached children.  I am beyond blessed to be used by the Lord in the salvation of children there, also the parents and teachers who professed to receive Jesus in their hearts as Saviour. Glory to God.

Last November 4, we went to an Aeta community in San Rafael, Montalban, Rizal to bring not just goodies but God’s gift of eternal life to the children there. It was challenging because we had to walk at some point carrying the goodies, and then ride a boat at another point. But all our efforts paid off when we saw the precious smiles of the little ones who trusted Jesus to save them from their sins. From the 51 kids who heard the message of salvation, 43 of them professed faith in Jesus. Additionally, we were able to share the Gospel to the parents present during our teaching! What a blessing! (Yoradyl Bautista, Antipolo-Montalban)
Glory to God for opening doors to conduct CPC. On November 30th, right after our CPC seminar, we were given the chance to use our Christmas lesson in a birthday party celebration in Quezon, Bukidnon! A birthday party turned into a Christmas Party Club real quick. Praise God because 50 children received Jesus as their Lord and Saviour – the best Christmas gift ever. (Ramil Auza, Valencia Bukidnon)
One of the CPC volunteers chatted with me about how blessed they were to have the opportunity to go to a mountainous area to share the true meaning of Christmas. The children were so happy that they were invited back.

These were the normal reactions of all who attended the training and how they enjoyed sharing the message of salvation at this season.Dear Samuel,Greetings from the Island Kingdom of Tonga in the South Pacific where time begins. We were so blessed to have received the Christmas Party Club Lesson and Visual Aid materials from the Revival Movement just in time for our one week delayed training for Good News Club Teachers. The boxes were released by the Customs on Friday and we had our training on Saturday. God’s answered our prayers at the right time.A quick training for the use of materials was conducted with our young volunteers a day before we conducted the first Christmas Party Club. The Christmas Party Club in a home in one of the Villages was attended by 14 children and all of them raised their hand to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour.Another Volunteer Good News Club Teacher Conducted a Christmas Party Club in one of the homes. She was so happy to share the message that Jesus brings Joy to the World because for the first time her very own grandchildren (who came to visit her) got to listen to the Bible lesson as she shared it to the children.  I’m forever grateful to the Lord for your partnership.  Ma.
