CEF+Give Sope

Give Sope is also a Christian faith based non-profit organization.

For CEF family, friends and ministry partners, when you make a purchase on GiveSope.com, $5 of each soap bar purchased will be donated to CEF Ministry. Your generosity will allow us to reach more children for Christ and give hope to the marginalized. Lives will be transformed.

The purchase link is now live. There are a variety of naturally scented cold pressed soaps for you to discover and gift a loved one just in time for this special time of the year. Give Sope to Give Hope this season!

AFC Youth Ministry Conference

Date/Time: Saturday, July 26 @ 11:00am-11:55am
Format: Zoom (
Register with Event Organizer)

Gen Z (13-28 years old) is showing a renewed interest in Christianity and is more open to sharing their faith through personal example. This is a shift towards a more personal and experiential faith than a “book smart” gospel. We should adapt our approach to connect with this generation, focusing on creating authentic communities, addressing their questions, and providing opportunities for personal growth and discovery within the faith.

Ambassador For Christ invited ten speakers to equip pastors and parents in various aspects – from church to home to school – to shepherd the next generation of teenagers before the fall semester. We'll be sharing on the topic of "Equip the Saints for the Work of the Ministry: Reach Children for Christ" If you are interested, please register through the event organizer's website.
