Recently a colleague at Kilchzimmer brought a number of old CEF USA magazines to coffee break. Some of the advertisements amused us greatly, such as the "5 day home trail" for accordions. We wondered if back then playing the accordion was essential to leading a Good News Club. :)
However the inside back cover ad entitled "help wanted" really caught my attention. Here's the text: MISSIONARIES NEEDED: ANYONE WILLING TO GIVE HIS LIFE FOR CHRIST IN FULL-TIME SERVICE - CALL OR WRITE CEF.
STATE, CITY, COUNTRY DIRECTORS AND HOME OFFICE WORKERS NEEDED: SEEK PERSONS WITH BURDEN FOR WINNING CHILDREN TO CHRIST - CALL OR WRITE CEF
Want a career with unlimited opportunities, personal satisfaction, and a lot of money? How about a career with unlimited opportunities, personal satisfaction and less money? You have a choice in the matter: your own. Or, what the Lord would have you do.
Have you ever stopped to think that God needs you? He does. He needs all of us to work out His plan.
There are many ways to be of service but preparation should come first: 3 months of CEF Institute will give you practical know-how in helping you to reach boys and girls for Christ. 27 courses are offered with sessions beginning in March, June and September.
Why not consider making the Lord's business your career? He gave His life for you.
Do you notice anything different in that advert for missionaries from 40 years ago compared to those you read today? No offer here of short-term service! No attempt to make the work sound appealing! And yet because many responded, we in Europe and across the world have heard the Gospel as children. If you too would like to respond, we would love to hear from you. The first step would be to apply to the Children's Ministry Leadership Course at Kilchzimmer.
