Christian Youth In Action®

Christian Youth in Action (CYIA®) is a summer missions program developed and run by Child Evangelism Fellowship staff and volunteers.  Students learn how to effectively share the Gospel message with boys and girls at the week-long training school and teach 5-Day Clubs in their local areas during the summer.  CYIA gives students many opportunities to witness the miracle of salvation that takes place in children who hear and receive the Good News.   If you are a Christian student, going into the 8th grade (and 13 years of age by June)  or attending college, and you have a heart to serve the Lord reaching the lost CYIA is for you!

Pre-training is required for anyone interested in attending the State CYIA training.  During Ponderosa Chapter’s pre-training weekend Jr. CYIA students (those going into 7th grade and 12 years old before June) are trained to share the Gospel message and receive training in ways they can help in the summer 5-Day Clubs. Ponderosa Chapter 2010 pre-training will be April 9th through 11th – cost, if registered before March 26th, is $55.00.  Contact us for a brochure and registration form.

State CYIA Training School is the third week of June.  The 2010 CYIA will be June 19th through 25th.
