Picture
CYIA™ (Christian Youth In Action) is the CEF summer program where high school and college age students (ages 15-21) conduct 5-Day Clubs.  After intensive training, these summer missionaries conduct three 5-Day Clubs a day in our surrounding counties during June-July.  They meet in backyards, churches, day care centers, apartment complexes and recreation centers; wherever children are.   At the clubs, the children learn fun songs, powerful memory verses, exciting Bible lessons, true missionary stories, play games and have an opportunity to receive Jesus as their Savior.
