Nau mai, haere mai Welcome
Child Evangelism Fellowship of New Zealand shares the good news of Jesus with children across Aotearoa, through weekly clubs and trained local volunteers.
November 2026
A Party Club is an exciting and effective way to share the Good News with children. This training prepares your team to make an eternal impact by sharing the most valuable gift of all. Masterton.
We tell boys and girls the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, help them grow in God’s Word, and connect them with a local church where they can keep growing.
So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
CEF has served children since 1937. In New Zealand, that mission takes shape in neighbourhoods, schools and churches near you.
That every child will have an opportunity to hear the Gospel at least once.
Explore our ministriesThat children in every nation will have access to the Gospel through an established and well-developed CEF ministry.

A weekly club where trained teachers meet with children in homes, community centres and churches, wherever children can meet easily and safely with their parent or guardian’s permission.
About Good News ClubYour church works alongside CEF to share the true story of Christmas or Easter with children in your community.
About Party ClubsBible-centred videos, devotionals and audio from CEF, in one place for families.
About U-Nite KidsIn 2026, 333 children heard the Gospel. Of them, 80 trusted in Jesus for the first time, and 23 are being discipled every school term in Good News Clubs. We also trained 81 volunteers to share the Gospel with children.
At one of our Good News Clubs, the teacher asked the children, “How do you know your parents love you?” A girl put up her hand and said, “Because my mum takes me to Good News Club, I know she loves me!”
One boy at Good News Club struggled with stealing and lying. After a year and a half at Good News Club, he is a different child. His life now shows that he knows he is deeply loved by God, and that he is a child of God.
You don’t need teaching experience to help children hear the Gospel. We’ll train you, pair you with an experienced team, and find a role that suits your gifts.
