Building the Schoolhouse

Another Side is up!

Welcome to the School house

The Classroom is Ready!

Child Evangelism Fellowship® has participated in the Ventura County fair for nearly 70 years, since 1950 at least. 

• Our booth is affectionately called “The Little Red Schoolhouse” or “Good News At The Fair."
• Children and their guardians are invited to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ as seen through the colors of the "Wordless Book."
• he booth is managed entirely by volunteers.  Each year between 50 to 100 Christians representing many churches and cities throughout the county give of their time to keep the booth running throughout the entirety of the fair, between 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. for twelve straight days.
• Volunteers commit to at least one four-hour time slot, wherein they take on the task of either greeting fair goers, inviting them to listen to the “greatest story ever told,” or of telling the story itself. (Watch the demo, below the book graphic .)
• Child Evangelism Fellowship  provides all of our volunteers with training that allows them to present the Gospel in a very simple, easy-to-understand way. 
• The fair outreach costs about $5000, covered by generous donors, which allows us to provide each of our volunteers with an entrance ticket for their volunteered day.
• Each year anywhere from 1,000 to 1,500 individuals hear the Gospel in our “Little Red Schoolhouse.”
• At last  summer's 2018 Ventura County Fair 894 people heard the wordless book and  there were 255 decisions made for receiving Jesus as Savior (192 children, 29 teens, 34 adults)!  Counting the last 10 years over 12,000 people heard the Gospel and over 4,000 decisions were made.
• Contact Grace Dolton at 805-407-1306   to sign up for a training session for the 2019 fair outreach. The 2019 Fair will be between July 31 to August 11. 

The Wordless Book lovingly shared in the Classroom tells the children the Gospel Story of Jesus Christ!

Testimonial by Katheen Parsa:
"The first time I worked in the Little Red Schoolhouse I was terrified, never having shared the gospel message before.   Even after attending the training, I had to read the story to the children the first few times. But after sharing the most important message in all the world with several children an hour, I no longer needed to read it--and the fear of doing evangelism left me, never to return.  This experience built my confidence like nothing else.  If you've never done it before, try it!  You'll be glad you did."
