Wondersurf - AMECpeNET

The greatest thing about AMECpeNET is that there is an opportunity for children to write to a "trail guide". A trailguide answers questions that children have, does Bible studies together with children and faithfully prays with them for various requests. This makes this site unique from other sites for children.

"Meet the King!"

CEF of Romania developed an app for Android/smart phone and Ipad about the Life of the Lord Jesus based on the "Meet the King!" booklet. It is just the beginning. The small kids can listen to the message, the older can read it as well. In the future will be added other ideas to it, like coloring or puzzles... Pray for creativity for the team that works on it. We also ask God for more possibilities to have more applications. To have a look at it: |
for Android:"Meet the King!" | for iPhone/iPad:"Meet the King!" |
Good News Clubs

Good News across Romania
Good News across Romania is an evangelistic campaign organised throughout one of the counties in Romania. Full time CEF workers and other trained volunteers work together with local churches to take the Word of God to children. The purpose of this project is to enable many children throughout the county to hear the Gospel and to put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. | |
Bible Camp
![]() |
We praise God for the opportunity to take over 2,000 children to a CEF camp every year. The majority of the children who attend would not be able to pay for the full cost of camp. CEF workers are responsible to organise camps in their area and to find sponsorship for children who otherwise would not be able to attend. Over the years, God has graciously provided, for which we are extremely thankful. Children especially express their appreciation and share about how much they enjoy camp. |
