Join us for a Night of Appreciation and Celebration!

Friday, May 18th

 Steve and RonaLee Campbell will provide entertainment at  Ponderosa Chapter’s annual Appreciation Celebration.     Steve and RonaLee have been singing and writing songs for most of their 30 year marriage. Their music for the last 18 or so years reflects the new life they have found in their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and their desire to share that life with others through music and testimony.  Steve makes custom guitars and is very gifted at repairing just about any instrument.

 Rod Franz (along with his wife, Betty) will be our guest speaker.  Rod and Betty have been in the ministry for 30 years.  Rod is CEF of Oregon State Director as well as CEF NW District Director (covering the states of Washington, Alaska, Oregon, Idaho and Northern California). Betty is the chapter Director for Capital District.  They  have a great love for the Lord, His children  and His servants.   We are blessed to have them join us!

 Please plan to join us for a night of celebrating the great work of our Lord through His faithful servants.  Bring a friend who might be interested in learning about the ministry!  Meet Ponderosa Chapter CYIA teens who will serve and help clean up afterward.  Tips, which will go towards the teens State CYIA registration fees, are welcome . 

Dinner is free, everyone is welcome.   Please RSVP  if you plan to attend.

Numerous faithful volunteers and CYIA teens made it possible to reach over 1,000 children (some adults) with the Good News of Jesus Christ this summer!  Central Oregon lives are being changed through the sharing of God’s Word and His amazing love.  It is impossible for us to give adequate “thanks” to all who serve in the ministry of Ponderosa CEF.  Our treasurers are in the blessings received here on earth as you see the eyes of a child light up once they understand just how much God loves them and His provision of a Savior through Jesus Christ.  Of course, there will be treasures in Heaven as well!
