Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF)

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY [info]raven_oreilly) Yup. More mail.

Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) wants money to help launch "Good News Clubs" into "EVERY single public elementary school in the nation!" as a result of a Supreme Court decision allowing them to have their clubs in schools (Justice Stevens and Souter's problem was opening state facilities ((the school)) to religious proselytizing). The letter also talks about "studies" that say, "the older kids get, the less likely they are to accept Christ. In fact, pllster George Barna's research shows that 'whatever a child believes by the time they are 13 is, in most cases, what they will die believing!'"

The wiki entry had an interesting bit at the bottom about break off groups, so I took a look at CEF's site and at their statement of faith. Not sure of what to make of them, but their #1 entry there is:

1. That "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God," by which we understand the whole book called THE BIBLE; that it is inerrant in the original writing and that its teaching and authority are absolute, supreme and final. That the Holy Spirit guided the holy men of old in all that they wrote. 2 Timothy 3:16; Deuteronomy 4:2; 2 Peter 1:21. (emphasis mine)

11. In the evangelization of the world; that the supreme mission of the people of God in this age is to preach the Gospel to every creature. That special emphasis should be placed upon the evangelization of children. Mark 16:15; 2 Corinthians 5:18, 19; Matthew 18:14.

15. In the reality and personality of Satan, "that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world" (Revelation 12:9) Ephesians 6:11, 12; 1 Peter 5:8; Revelation 20:10.

Again, still new at this, but those bits caught my eye.
