Welcome to the
Western Maine Chapter of
Child Evangelism Fellowship®
of Maine, Inc.
My Testimony
By Virginia Mathieu
|
I was raised in
a Christian home and accepted Christ as my Savior as a child. We
attended church faithfully, giving me the opportunity to grow spiritually
as I learned more. I was able to take part in various ministries
in the church and enjoyed going to the Christian school there as well,
where I graduated in 2002.
Iwent
to Camp Good News® as a child and also to Christian Youth In Action®
training school as a teenager. When I was home on break from college
(I attended Boston Baptist College), John Romano visited me and said that
whenever I was done school I could have a place to work with Child Evangelism
Fellowship® in Western Maine. I graduated college in 2004 and
started work here immediately.
This has
been a dream of mine! I praise the Lord for bringing me to this point
in my life. I couldn’t have asked for better - the work of teaching
children the Gospel is the ultimate ministry in my mind. The staff
here is the best: the committee, teachers, volunteers, state office and
Camp staff, prayer partners, they all work together beautifully to help
each other reach the children. I feel so privileged to be the C.E.F.
Western Maine Director and I am looking forward to all the things He has
planned in the future! |
Barbara Rozelle and
Marilyn Noyes have worked with C.E.F.® for many years. Marilyn was
the Central Maine director for a number of years before the Lord led them
to go, as a team, to C.E.F.® of Wisconsin.
After working
in Wisconsin for approximately 11 years, they made a move to Massachusetts
to work with C.E.F. there. There were no workers in that area,
at that time, before they joined.
Since Joyce Forsyth,
Barbara and Marilyn had worked together years ago, the Western Maine Committee,
along with Joyce, invited them to be a part of the Western Maine Chapter
of C.E.F.® They are now on active retirement status and, as Marilyn
says, she gets to do what she enjoys best. They teach
Good
News Clubs® and host a
Prayer
Band in their home which meets bi-weekly. They are always
glad to help with Teacher Training
Classes and Teachers Workshops.
Barbara and Marilyn also
enjoy helping at Christian
Youth In Action® Training School, where they teach classes
and supervise a team of young people each year. Marilyn enjoys teaching
5
- Day Clubs® and V.B.S. in the summertime, and Barbara is glad
to be in the Chapel - on - Wheels at the fairs leading children and others
to the Lord.
At the fall fairs,
Marilyn enjoys giving out many free tickets to invite children and their
families to visit the Chapel- on - Wheels®.
We thank the Lord for them, for their serving with us!

The Western Maine
Chapter of C.E.F.® has many volunteers who give their time to help
in many ways to reach boys and girls for Jesus Christ. Two of these volunteers
are Terry and Elaine Oakes. Elaine teaches a Good
News Club®, and she is assisted by her mother and Terry.
Elaine attends Teacher
Training Classes, is our auditor, and enjoys teaching with
us in the Chapel - on - Wheels at the many fall fairs.
Terry helps in the
kitchen during the C.Y.I.A.® Training School at Camp
Good News® when he's not working, and is happy to dress up in a
clown or bear costume as he gives out free tickets to see the movie in
the Chapel - on - Wheels.
We thank the Lord for all our Support Team Volunteers!
