How does that work?!  By sending in your original gas receipts within 45 days of purchase.    How can it be at no additional cost to you?  Some of you are already sending in financial contributions  monthly (THANK YOU!) – just include your fuel receipts and we will forward them to the State office.  Click here to see how it benefits the ministry and costs you little to no money.

YES!!!  Ponderosa Chapter/CEF is moving forward with planning for 2012 Camp Good News.  We are grateful to  Sandi Masterson who has stepped up to fill the on-site camp director position.  There is still a great need for volunteers, camper-ship funds and general operating funds to make camp a possibility for Central Oregon children.

2011 summer ministries ended successfully!  Now it is time to move into school year ministry!  Opportunities to reach children with the Good News of Jesus Christ abound!  Is God calling you to the local mission field?  Souls are ready and waiting.  Please check the list of Good News Clubs. More could be added if God’s people will step forth.  Contact our office for  information on how you can be blessed by serving the Lord in the Central Oregon ripe and ready harvest field.

Send your original fuel receipts to our office (or to  CEF of Oregon – P.O. Box 7297, Salem, OR 97303) within 45 days of purchase.  As a State we were challenged to collect fuel receipts which will be turned into cash for future State CYIA scholarships as well as to help offset CYIA Staff costs for local chapters.  Once CYIA teens have completed five levels of State training they are eligible to apply for a CYIA scholarship to the higher education school of their choice.   You can help replenish the scholarship fund.   We will send you a self-addressed envelope to collect the receipts in if needed.  Call or e-mail for more info.

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!
