Child Evangelism Fellowship brings Faith and Family Night to Jackson

JACKSON, Tenn. — One organization hosts a fundraiser to support their mission to uplift youth in the community.

This is the 3rd Annual Fundraiser for Child Evangelism Fellowship here in the Hub City, and Monday night the event featured a very special guest speaker.

Child Evangelism Fellowship presents Faith and Family night at West Jackson Baptist Church. It’s a night full of inspiration, singing and a guest speaker.

“CEF, Child Evangelism Fellowship, has been around for a long time. We’re just trying to get it more exposure. Child Evangelism Fellowship is the largest Christian organization in the world to reach children with the gospel. I want people to take that away plus it’s a great night of inspiration. It’s going to be just absolutely phenomenal to hear Pam Tebow speak about her life and for the Stone Brothers to sing,” said Rev. Jerry Drace, CEF coordinator.

This occasion features keynote speaker Pam Tebow along with special music by the Stone Brothers.

“It is really refreshing that there are a group of people that have a real heart and love for the children and they are teaching them the truth of god’s word so as a child bring them up in the way that they will go, and then when they’re old they will never depart from it,” said Rick Stone, member of the Stone Brothers.

The ministry’s mission is to reach every child, every nation, every day.

“I think if they’re looking to support a great cause, Child Evangelism Fellowship in your community is a worthwhile cause to invest in because they’re investing in the lives of kids that will be impacted for their whole existence, so I think it’s a great thing,” said Pam Tewbow, keynote speaker.

Child Evangelism Fellowship was founded by Jesse Irvin Overholtzer in 1937.

The organization has more than 2,900 missionaries overseas, approximately 2,200 of whom are nationals. They have 700 full-time workers and an estimated 40,000 volunteers serve the ministry in the U.S. and Canada.

Their ‘Christian Youth in Action Summer Camp 2025’ is set for Sunday, May 25 through Friday, May 31 next year.
