The first chapter established in West Texas was the Amarillo Chapter -- now the Texas Panhandle Chapter. In 1938, (we think) CEF's founder Jesse Irvin Overholtzer was traveling from California to Chicago, and made a stop in Amarillo. On a Sunday morning, he spoke to the people of Amarillo Bible Church about the new ministry the Lord had put on his heart- Child Evangelism Fellowship®. They caught the vision and organized to reach the children of the Panhandle area with the Gospel.
Our chapter is supported completely by individuals, churches, businesses, foundations...and by prayer!

We partner with churches to reach children with the Gospel. If your church is interested in partnering with CEF® to have a Good News Club® in an area school, please contact our office today. We want to help your church reach out to children who need to know about God's love and salvation.
