Ministry Overview:

1. To evangelize the lost, especially elementary age children (Matt. 18:14)

2. To disciple child in the Word of God so they will become strong Christians deriving the most out of life, contributing the maximum to their society and bringing glory to God (1 Pet. 2:2)

3. To establish children in Bible believing churches where they will receive consistent training and develop wholesome friendships that will strengthen their walk with the Lord (Heb. 10:25)

4. To train or equip Christian teens and adults how to effectively reach and teach children for Christ (2 Tim. 2:2)

Our primary target group has been described as the most fruitful mission field in the world - children 5 - 12 years of age. George Barna says, “The study clearly notes, that the greatest evangelistic window currently available is among young children. . .” Hawaii is a diverse group of people providing a tremendous opportunity for cross cultural ministry. The majority is not Caucasian although there are many in the state. Hawaii’s population consists of many Asians, Filipinos, and a huge variety of Polynesians. There is an enormous military presence in the islands providing opportunity to share the gospel with or equip people going to many parts of the world as ambassadors for Christ. As the state director for Child Evangelism Fellowship I (John) am responsible for oversight and development of the ministry around the state of Hawaii.
