Spring-Summer: Christian Youth In Action®

Are you a Christian teen looking for an opportunity to serve the Lord in a ripe,  affordable and one of the least reached mission fields? Are you looking for an opportunity to connect with like-minded teens?  If so, Christian Youth in Action is for you!

Christian Youth in Action (CYIA®) is a summer missions program developed and run by Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) staff and volunteers.  Student teachers learn how to effectively share the Gospel with boys and girls during the CEF of Oregon week-long training school.  The students then return to their local areas to teach 5-Day Clubs (mini vacation Bible clubs in neighborhoods) throughout 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 of Jesus Christ.   If you are a Christian student, going into the 8th grade (and 13 years of age by June) or attending college and you have the 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 school.  During Ponderosa Chapter’s pre-training weekend Jr. CYIA students (those going into 7th grade and 12 years old before June) are also trained to share the Gospel message.  Jr. CYIA’ers receive training enabling them to help in the summer 5-Day Clubs. Ponderosa Chapter/Mid-Columbia and Eastern Oregon Chapter’s 2020 pre-training is expected to be held in April 2021.  Check back here in January 2020 to find and download a Ponderosa Chapter pre-training brochure/registration form. 

2020 State CYIA Training School was held locally the week of June 13- 19th in Redmond.  Applications for 2021 State CYIA training will be posted here when available.   Join a winning team of Oregon teens! See the Oregon CYIA website for more info!
