Our 5-Day Club® program is underway with two clubs already taking place during our Christian Youth in Action® training. Five of our students taught at the club held at Newman Christian Community Church, where seven children attended with one praying to receive Christ as Savior. The other five students taught at the other club held at Faith Christian Fellowship in Hart where ten children attended with three receiving Christ. PRAISE THE LORD!! This was a great start to our summer ministries. At this point, we have 11 clubs scheduled for this summer. We are hoping more will be scheduled soon. Our goal for this summer is 18 clubs. Due to COVID-19, scheduling has been slow. There are still openings throughout the summer for clubs. If you would like to reach the children around you with the Gospel, contact our office to schedule your 5-Day Club. Weeks and times available are listed below.
Christian Youth in Action
Another Christian Youth in Action is in the books. This year was so different because of covid-19. We were not able to have our statewide training, so we had to do it all locally. Ten teens attended our CYIA™ held at Newman Christian Community Church. There were also seven other CYIAs going on in other chapters. One thing we did, that no other chapters did, was have the students camp out on the church property. This was a new experience for some of our teens. We were able to get two 14-person tents for the students and staff to sleep in. All the classes and meals were held in the church. This summer, we are raising funds to help three interns from Michigan who are serving at our Headquarters in Missouri. Between the students and our clubs, we were able to raise $452 for our missionaries. We would like to give a special thank you to Newman for letting us use the church and grounds.
We hope to be able to have our statewide training back next year.
Clubs are still needed
We are still looking for people who have children in their area that need to be reached. Now that we are able to have large group meetings outside, we are still planning and hoping to have traditional 5-Day Clubs. We will also have the option for virtual clubs. If you do not feel comfortable having a traditional club, we can do a virtual club through Zoom for you. You can send us the email addresses of all the children that you would like to invite to the club, and we will send them a link to the club. These clubs will only be 40 minutes long instead of an hour and a half. This is another way that you can help us reach the children for Christ.

It is with a very heavy heart that I have to let you know that all our fairs in August have been canceled for this year. This is a very big blow to the summer ministry as the fairs are a very big part of it. We still have a festival on the schedule in September. Pray that it will not be canceled.
Al though
summer has began, we are starting to plan for the school year. We are not sure how school clubs are going to look or if we will be able to have them, but we still plan to move forward. This may mean going back to having clubs in homes, churches, and anywhere else children meet. Please be in prayer for our Good News Clubs for this next year.
Training’s
We plan to have one or two trainings this fall. Teaching Children Effectively™ is a 33-hour, college-level course we offer through our Children’s Ministries Institute®. Because it is a college-level course, there is a cost and it will meet once or twice a week for a number of weeks. Another training we offer is Good News Club® Quick Start training. This can be done in person with videos or online, or in one or more days. If you have questions about any of the trainings, please contact our office.
