Child Evangelism Fellowship® brings Christian youth programming to Knox Co.

Article submitted by Jim Stoner >>

Does your family struggle to grow in your Christian faith together?

Families seek out resources when they move to an area, and when I was growing up, and throughout the rest of my life, church was always a priority. Today, as busy as families are, and with so many non-profits taking up our time—from sports, to school, to scouts to anything you can name, finding a solid network, even in a church to provide a solid Christian foundation can be a huge undertaking.

Sunday School programs in today’s environment are often struggling even in many long-standing churches. Fortunately, there is a strong resource available today that is filling that void, all across the country, and it is building momentum. There are already three clubs in Knox County accepting young people that will meet regularly and provide regular lessons and activities that will help strengthen each child’s Christian beliefs, and help them join a network of similar beliefs.

What is Child Evangelism Fellowship ® ?

• A Bible-centered organization composed of born-again believers.

• A network of believers in Jesus Christ whose purpose is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

• A team devoted to educating young people (ages 5-12), establishing them in the Word of God, and connecting them to a local church.

Good News Clubs® are the heart of the ministry. These clubs meet weekly after school, and share Bible Stories, songs, games, verse memorization, and missionary stories.

5-Day Clubs® make up a bulk of the summer focus. They are a week of fun activities and Bible instruction staged throughout neighborhoods and churches and are easily incorporated into Bible School programs.

County Fair Ministries: Be sure to look for Child Evangelism Fellowship® at this year’s Knox County Fair in the green and yellow “Wordless Book” tent. The Wordless Book is the backbone for sharing the Gospel, and the truth about Jesus’ love, and introduces children of all ages to the Gospel.

Hash Brown & Sausage

• Vegetable oil spray

• 1 lb. breakfast sausage (cooked & drain grease)

• 1 Tbsp. olive oil

• 1 small white onion, diced

• 1 - 32 oz. container frozen diced

• 8 large eggs

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1/2 cup milk

• 1 tsp. garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp. sweet paprika

• Pinch of ground sage

• 1 tsp. kosher salt

• 1/2 tsp. ground white pepper

• 2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese (about 8 oz.)

• 1/4 cup minced chives

Preheat the oven to 375o. Spray a 9×13-in. baking dish with vegetable oil.

Saute the onion in olive oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the hash brown potatoes and cook until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Stir in the cooked sausage. Remove the pan from the heat. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, garlic powder, paprika, sage, salt and white pepper. Whisk in the cheddar. Stir in the sausage/hash browns mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake until the top is browned and the center is set, about 45 minutes. Cover the baking dish with foil if the top begins to brown before the center is set. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chives on top before serving. The casserole is best served the same day it is baked.
