If you have, then serving as a CEF summer missionary is perfect for you!
As a summer missionary, you’ll share the Good News of Jesus with kids right here in North Dakota.
You’ll start with training during the spring and early June. During the training, you’ll learn how to share the Gospel, how to teach Bible Lessons and Scripture memory verses, and how to lead songs and games for kids.
Then, over the rest of the summer, you’ll use what you’ve learned to teach kids about God through backyard Bible clubs (called Go Clubs) and other children’s ministries.

Camp Good News
Camp is a crazy time of canoes, songs, lessons, games, food, learning new skills, and making new friends. Adventure is a guarantee. And when you counsel the children – whether through cabin devos, deep conversations under a tree, or after chapel – you’ll see what a difference Jesus’ love can make. (Note: Summer missionaries are invited to serve in various camp staff roles based on age, level of commitment during the summer, and maturity).
Other opportunities
Depending on your local CEF chapter, you may have the opportunity to serve in a variety of other ministries, both locally and beyond, such as day camps, national missions trips, and more!
