Sunday, September 22, 2013, Lone Star Prairie will initiate its first Fall Fund Raiser with a campaign called 144 Witnesses.  This will be a wonderful time to invite people to become a part of God’s work to reach children with the Gospel message by supplying the financial resources needed. 144 Witnesses is a set of 144 envelopes each with a dollar amount that starts with $1 and consecutively moves up dollar by dollar on each envelope until it reaches $144.  The person will place the dollar amount shown on the envelope and place it into the offering on a Sunday.  As the envelopes are assembled to be received by Lone Star Prairie, it will help to enlist the prayers, the attention, the...

The local church…YES!  God intended for His people to be involved to reach people with the Good News of Jesus Christ and to do His Kingdom work right in the midst of the neighborhood that the local church sits within.  First Baptist Church of Sulphur Springs is an example of one of the churches who is involved with CEF of Lone Star Prairie.  FBC of Sulphur Springs has partnered with the local Boys & Girls Club to come alongside to get to know the kids after school and share life with them in a variety of ways. This past summer, as well as the summer before, Boys & Girls Club of Sulphur Springs worked side by side with the CYIA team of Lone Star Prairie to hold 5 Day Clubs. ...

  The Good News Club season begins this last week of September or early October.  Each GNC location will have specific times and places where they will meet as well as the individual churches who will sponsor specific clubs. Pray that God will continue to touch the hearts of Believers in area churches to see the vision of reaching children where THEY ARE! Schools, Boys and Girls Clubs, apartment communities,  day care centers and homes will be the places where children can be found to share with them the love of Christ and the saving power to change their lives now and for eternity.  We desire to minister beyond the GNCs to meet these children’s families and to reach them as well through...

Christian Youth In Action® teens and CEF® staff were invited to help Dixon Baptist Church with their children’s Easter celebration on Saturday April 7.  We made sculptured balloons for all the children , played a Wordless Book bean bag toss game and told the Gospel Flipper Flapper story.   The church had a bounce house for the children and many fun games.  The word of God was clearly proclaimed in the illusionist presentations.  Have you ever participated in an egg race?  If it falls, it will make a mess.  They had cotton candy & popcorn and last of all an Easter Egg Hunt.  What a great day!!   Thank you, Dixon Baptist Church for inviting us to participate in your children’s...

CEF® Lone Star Prairie staff attended the missions banquet held at First Baptist Church Cooper in Delta County, Texas.  Brother Johnny Witherspoon preached a great sermon on reaching the lost in Cooper & Delta County.  We at CEF Lone Star Prairie are all about reaching lost children in our town & county.   The banquet followed the morning service.   The room was beautifully decorated.  The food was wonderful.   But the best part was the fellowship!   This is a very warm & friendly church.   We enjoyed visiting with brothers & sisters who have the same mind of glorifying the Lord & reaching children for Christ.   Thank you Ruth Crow for inviting us and making...
