International (MNN) — A Pew Research poll in 2017 showed 54% of Americans celebrate Christmas as a cultural holiday rather than a religious holiday. That number was up from 49% in 2013.
Imagine how many more don’t know the real reason behind Christmas in unreached regions of the world.
This December, Child Evangelism Fellowship will share Jesus and the true meaning of Christmas with 10 million children through Christmas Party Clubs around the world! Much like their year-round Good News Clubs, each Christmas Party Club features games, songs, and a Gospel-centered Bible lesson.
CEF’s Lydia Kaiser says, “The Christmas Party Club is a great opportunity for volunteers and kids to experience a CEF club so they’re more informed about making a larger commitment to volunteering or attending a weekly Good News Club during the next school semester.”

Kids love parties — and Christmas! So combining the two in a way to share the Gospel just makes sense. The fact that God came as a human baby and lived life as a child is really good news for kids.
Anyone can volunteer to serve at a Christmas Party Club with CEF! One volunteer shared, “Although I grew up in a Hindu family, God gave me an opportunity to listen to the message of salvation and accept Christ as Savior. During the Christmas Party Club training seminar, CEF staff gave me an opportunity to share the Gospel with children through the Christmas story.
“This was the first time in my life I learned to share with others the Gospel which changed my life. I thank God and CEF.”
Want to learn more? Kaiser says, “If people want to get involved, they can go to chapters.cefonline.com and look up your nearest CEF chapter and ask them how they would like volunteers for this Christmas. There are just so many different ways to volunteer. You don’t have to teach a Club. You can just attend and see how it works!”
