"If you decide to do CYIA, it'll be challenging and encourage growth in so many areas of your life. Yet, it will be the most encouraging, exciting, and fun summer of your life! CYIA has brought amazing friends and mentors into my life. And nothing will beat the joy you will have when spreading the most amazing news ever with kids who are eager to hear it!"

Ask God to bring forth the youth who are called to CYIA, to open doors of locations, and to prepare the hearts of the children.

"I have five teens who participated in CYIA this year, and through the summer I saw them take ownership of their faith in a new way. They have often gone to church to serve with our family, but this was their ministry. They were able to see that God can use them personally, and I’m so blessed to see them walking toward the Lord and boldly sharing their faith. I’m thankful for the CYIA program’s leadership and encouragement in their lives."

Our CYIA students are volunteering their time, but you may not be able to do that. Still be part of the mission by giving financially.

​​​What if we told you that local Christian youth spend their summer teaching children about the Gospel?

It's true. And it happens every summer!

CYIA (Christian Youth in Action) is the CEF summer program where middle school,  high school, and college age students (ages 12-22) are trained to conduct 5-Day Clubs. After a week of intensive training, these summer missionaries conduct several 5-Day Clubs a day in Florence, Darlington, Marlboro, Chesterfield and Dillon counties during June and July. ​These teens impact the lives of hundreds of children. Meanwhile, their own spiritual lives are also dramatically changed as they discover how God has gifted them in areas of teaching and evangelism. For many, this experience of full-time missionary work serves as a catalyst for future ministry work, possibly as educators, pastors, and missionaries.
