CYIA Commissioning Service

Yesterday the Christian Youth in Action summer missionaries were commissioned into ministry at Hillcrest Bible Church in Oregon.


Summer missionaries who were able to attend the service.


Worship was lead by Pastor Fred, Emily (Summer Missionary) and Ric.


The committee members present introduced themselves. Together they have more than 90 years of experience with CEF!


Pastor Eric spoke from 2 Corinthians 5:17-21, challenging the summer missionaries to remember that God has an eternal plan and that their role is to cheer on his work.

Jim spoke about his experience growing up with CEF. He encouraged summer missionaries not to get discouraged throughout the summer, but to remember that while they may not see immediate results, God is at work.

Thank you to Hillcrest church, members, and missions committee for their help and role in making this service a success! Thank you to Sharon for taking pictures!
