OTHER TYPES OF SUPPORT |

There are times when financial
contribution just isn’t feasible but that doesn’t
mean that supporting CCEF is out of the question. Just the
opposite! There are many roles that you could fill to influence
and support the work that CCEF does. You could:
PRAY FOR
Resources – that God would
provide all the necessary funds so that our schools have
high quality curriculum materials which present a clear
Christian perspective.
- Authors of the curricula –
for wisdom and creativity to present the truths of God’s
world in ways that student readily grasp and embrace.
- Students – that they
develop the mind of Christ and a Christian worldview;
for teachable, compassionate spirits and discernment to
make wise choices as they are in the world but not of
the world.
- Teachers – for joy
in the journey, for vision to clearly see the image of
God in each child, for strength and wisdom as they interact
with the next generation as they tell them the praiseworthy
deeds of the Lord.
- Administrators and school board leaders
– for humility, discernment and insight
as they lead the school in paths of righteousness.
- School communities –
that they would model Christ’s love for one another
as they grow in grace and truth together.
Be a CCEF liaison for your local church.
Would you speak about CCEF to your congregation on the Sunday
that a designated offering is taken for the work of CCEF?
We will provide you with a short pulpit announcement about
the work that CCEF is currently funding, so you keep the congregation
informed. Contact Barbara
in our office for more information.
Organize
a special offering.
If your church doesn’t already take an offering designated
for CCEF, would you approach your church leadership to request
that such an offering be taken? CCEF is an approved cause
of the CRC (Christian Reformed Church) denomination for offerings.
Congregations from other denominations also support our work.
Perhaps your church leadership would be open to this, too.
Direct your church leadership to our website, or contact our
office
for more information on CCEF.
Host a small
group gathering to hear more about CCEF’s work.
Contact our President, Menno
Eelkema or Barbara
in our office to arrange for a CCEF board member to join you
and your group to discuss the work of our organization and
the Christian curriculum that is developed through the funding
we provide.
For more information on options for non-financial support,
contact our foundation office at office@canadianchristianeducation.org.
