Child Evangelism Fellowship brings the Evening of Faith and Family to Jackson

JACKSON, Tenn. – An organization is hosting a fundraiser to support its mission to empower youth in the community.

This is the third annual fundraiser for the Child Evangelism Fellowship here in the Hub City, and the event featured a very special guest speaker on Monday evening.

Child Evangelism Fellowship hosts Faith and Family Evening at West Jackson Baptist Church. It’s an evening full of inspiration, singing and a guest speaker.

“CEF, Child Evangelism Fellowship, has been around for a long time. We’re just trying to get him more attention. Child Evangelism Fellowship is the world’s largest Christian organization reaching children with the gospel. I want people to take that away, plus it’s a great evening full of inspiration. It will be absolutely phenomenal to hear Pam Tebow speak about her life and sing the Stone Brothers,” said Rev. Jerry Drace, CEF coordinator.

The occasion features keynote speaker Pam Tebow along with special music from the Stone Brothers.

“It’s really refreshing that there is a group of people who have a real heart and love for the children and teach them the truth of God’s Word so that they are raised as a child the way they will go, and whenever .” “They are old and will never stray from it,” said Rick Stone, member of the Stone Brothers.

The ministry’s mission is to reach every child, every nation, every day.

“I think if you want to support a good cause, the Child Evangelism Fellowship in your community is a worthwhile investment because you’re investing in the lives of children who are going to be affected by it their entire lives, so I think that’s how it is “It’s a great thing,” said Pam Tewbow, keynote speaker.

The Child Evangelism Fellowship was founded in 1937 by Jesse Irvin Overholtzer.

The organization has more than 2,900 missionaries abroad, including about 2,200 nationals. They employ 700 full-time staff and an estimated 40,000 volunteers serve the ministry in the United States and Canada.

Their Christian Youth in Action Summer Camp 2025 will take place next year from Sunday, May 25th to Friday, May 31st.
