Did you hear that knocking? Wonder who it is? Let’s look and see. Why it is the month of June. Hello June, we have been expecting you. You are a very special month! During your month June, CEF of WV conducts Christian Youth in Action® (CYIA™) Training in the local CEF Chapters. This training prepares teenagers, college young people and adults to share the message of salvation with children through 5-Day Clubs®, VBSs or fair ministry.

Thank you all very much for prayers! Thomas Hooker said, “Prayer is my chief work, and it is by means of it that I carry on the rest.” Our desire is that you will make prayer this summer your ‘chief work’ for the ministry of CEF and all the people who will be serving the Lord in this ministry. 

Again, we cannot express enough thanks for your labor in prayer. Below are praise notes and prayer requests. Please take a few and pray each day.
