We really love to run our Summer Outreach Training Course (SOTC). This training is primarily aimed at those who will help at summer outdoor evangelistic 5-Day Clubs or Camps but is equally suitable for those who teach children in any gospel and church context.
This course will provide youth with excellent teaching to become more effective in sharing the good news of Jesus.
What age do you have to be?

What’s involved?
The course is founded on Biblical preaching in the morning with response times of praise and prayer. The remainder of the day consists of classes and practical demonstrations. There’s free time too – which could include coffee and chat, walks or sports time like volleyball!
Subjects studied include:
- Biblical basis for evangelising children.
- Preparing and presenting an evangelistic Bible Lesson.
- What is the gospel?
- Counselling children.
- Quiz – recap and reinforce.
- Conducting an open-air meeting for children.
To complete the course, participants have to do some practicals which include teaching an evangelistic Bible Lesson and a Memory Verse and participating in a demo 5-Day Club.
Normally after training, you are encouraged to work in a team taking the gospel to children in your area.
To be part of the Summer Outreach Training Course, you must know the Lord Jesus as your Saviour and be seeking to live a life that pleases him. You must also agree with the CEF Statement of Faith, which you will be required to sign. CEF statement of faith
Not only is this a week where you will learn a lot about teaching children more effectively, but it is a week of great fellowship and making new friends. All this adds up to making a week not to be missed!
