CEF of South Carolina plans to build a new state office called the Children's Ministry Training Center to train volunteers and staff. The estimated cost is $275,000 and $60,000 has already been provided. The center will enable CEF to minister to future generations and prepare children who are the future. CEF expects to charter 5 new offices by the end of 2007 to reach every county and school with Good News Clubs. The ministry to prisoners is growing with a new volunteer coordinator and permission to provide resources to all 29 prisons to reach prisoners and their children. The CYIA program is expected to double in size with the goal of answering God's call to full-time Christian service.

This devotional is meant to be used to the max. Draw, write, cut things out, rip out pages – do whatever it takes to make this time very personal for you, those you live with, extended family, and friends. Get everyone to interact with one another and ultimately to hear what God has to say to each of you. Every household looks different, but that does not matter. Even living alone, you can discover all kinds of things about Christmas you may not have known. Why is this devotional called Fearless? As God approached His people concerning the arrival of His Son, it was said, “ Do not be afraid...” Enter this Christmas season fearless and filled with faith in a God who is passionate about having a relationship with each and every person.
There are six weeks to this devotional. The first week can be done at home or as a Worship Service. There are then four weeks of Advent and a final devotional you can do Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

Help! I’m Stressed About My Child's EducationYingzhiBeth
In many countries, there is strong pressure on children to do well in school. As a result, many children have little time to play or rest. As parents, we want the best for our children. However, while wanting the best for our children is natural, we can fall into the dangerous trap of overdoing it. Just how much emphasis does God want us to place on academic studies compared to other priorities?
For the church's ministry to become effective it must recognize the importance of children within the global scope of discipleship making. The presentation focuses on unlocking or tapping talent in these young people

Exploring the Mindfulness Understanding Its Benefits.pptxMartaLoveguard
Slide 1: Title: Exploring the Mindfulness: Understanding Its Benefits
Slide 2: Introduction to Mindfulness
Mindfulness, defined as the conscious, non-judgmental observation of the present moment, has deep roots in Buddhist meditation practice but has gained significant popularity in the Western world in recent years. In today's society, filled with distractions and constant stimuli, mindfulness offers a valuable tool for regaining inner peace and reconnecting with our true selves. By cultivating mindfulness, we can develop a heightened awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and surroundings, leading to a greater sense of clarity and presence in our daily lives.
Slide 3: Benefits of Mindfulness for Mental Well-being
Practicing mindfulness can help reduce stress and anxiety levels, improving overall quality of life.
Mindfulness increases awareness of our emotions and teaches us to manage them better, leading to improved mood.
Regular mindfulness practice can improve our ability to concentrate and focus our attention on the present moment.
Slide 4: Benefits of Mindfulness for Physical Health
Research has shown that practicing mindfulness can contribute to lowering blood pressure, which is beneficial for heart health.
Regular meditation and mindfulness practice can strengthen the immune system, aiding the body in fighting infections.
Mindfulness may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity by reducing stress and improving overall lifestyle habits.
Slide 5: Impact of Mindfulness on Relationships
Mindfulness can help us better understand others and improve communication, leading to healthier relationships.
By focusing on the present moment and being fully attentive, mindfulness helps build stronger and more authentic connections with others.
Mindfulness teaches us how to be present for others in difficult times, leading to increased compassion and understanding.
Slide 6: Mindfulness Techniques and Practices
Focusing on the breath and mindful breathing can be a simple way to enter a state of mindfulness.
Body scan meditation involves focusing on different parts of the body, paying attention to any sensations and feelings.
Practicing mindful walking and eating involves consciously focusing on each step or bite, with full attention to sensory experiences.
Slide 7: Incorporating Mindfulness into Daily Life
You can practice mindfulness in everyday activities such as washing dishes or taking a walk in the park.
Adding mindfulness practice to daily routines can help increase awareness and presence.
Mindfulness helps us become more aware of our needs and better manage our time, leading to balance and harmony in life.
Slide 8: Summary: Embracing Mindfulness for Full Living
Mindfulness can bring numerous benefits for physical and mental health.
Regular mindfulness practice can help achieve a fuller and more satisfying life.
Mindfulness has the power to change our perspective and way of perceiving the world, leading to deeper se
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

4. It‟s All About Making Money... Right?
Everyone wants to feel the sense of security that comes from having
sufficient funds in the bank to take care of our needs and desires.
Unfortunately, no matter how much money we have, it never seems to be
enough and we really never have a true sense of serenity. The more we
spend on ourselves the less we spend on the needs of others. In turn,
creating a greater demand from each of us in society.
When we fail to share with others what God has provided us, needs
within society as a whole naturally increase. Your part in society means
higher taxes to take care of needs that could and should have been met
simply by “loving your neighbor as you love yourself”. Government
attempts to do what God has called His people to do and the results are
not very effective but extremely expensive.
When you are in a ministry like CEF that depends on God to move His
people to share what He has given them to support this mission, you
quickly learn - serenity is not provided by how much money you have in
the bank but by the fulfillment of obedience in which you serve.
con‟t on next page…
5. It‟s All About Making Money... Right?
Disobedience leads to struggle - for yourself, for others, and for society as
a whole. Our determination to have sufficient funds often robs us rather
than support us. It undermines our responsibility and our peace with God
and man.
Who knows? Maybe the real way to have a sense of security and have
sufficient funds in the bank is to share it in obedience to the „Giver of all
good things” - to spend it in accordance with His will. Maybe we should
be less concerned with making money and more concerned with our level
of obedient giving - to the honor of God and for the good of His work
toward man.
“Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness
and everything else will be added as needed.”
-Jesus
6. Building for the Future!
Richard Summerford, State Director
We are building for the future in the midst of turmoil within our nation and all around
us. For the first time in over 55 years, CEF of South Carolina, Inc., has plans to build
a state office! It will be called the Children’s Ministry Training Center. We are
excited at the possibilities that lie ahead, but at the same time, we are overwhelmed
with the expense of this project, estimated to be $275,000. We have been encouraged
by God to move forward with the project in that He has already provided $60,000.
This facility is so greatly needed by our ministry and will be a great asset to the
growth of all eleven CEF offices. This center will enable us to train hundreds of
volunteers and staff for CEF of South Carolina. We will be able to minister to future
generations as they face uncertain times.
The Lord is growing this ministry in ways I have never seen in twenty years of
service. Why? I believe it is because the children are our future, and we are preparing
them to be faithful. Jeremiah 33:3 says, “Call to me and I will answer you and show
you great and mighty things which you do not know.” God is doing just that in CEF
today. By the end of 2007, we will charter five new offices! This will make it
possible for us to reach every county in the state and every elementary school with an
After-School Good News Club during the next few years.
The Lord is blessing our ministry to prisoners in miraculous ways. Someone has just

volunteer as a state coordinator for our What Went Wrong program. Further, we have
also been given permission to go into all 29 prisons in the state and give out
information to the prisoners for the purpose of reaching them, and their children as
well. A local foundation is seeking to provide a camp to CEF for children of prisoners,
Camp Angel Tree, so that hundreds of prisoners’ children will hear the Good News
each summer.
It is anticipated that our Christian Youth In Action (CYIA) program will double in
size over the next few years. It is our desire that many of these young people will
answer God’s call into full-time Christian service and join our staff at CEF. We are
working to build a partnership with Columbia International University for the purpose
of higher education for many of our CYIA students to become missionaries all over
the world.
Our volunteer staff will grow to over 8000 workers within the next few years. Most
of these will be working with our After-School Good News Clubs within the public
schools. There is much more this ministry is involved in, but space does not permit
me to list them all. My hope and desire is that you will join us by your support and
prayers for our general fund, development expenses and building fund. Won’t you
help us give the Hope of Jesus Christ to the children? We need you now more than
ever!
