(Note: More Good News Guide
volunteers are needed.)
CEF of Washington has opened
an expanded Tel-A-Story ministry to reach children. Tel-A-Story is a phone call-in program where anyone
can hear a Bible story, or a modern day situation with Christian values
and answers.
Tel-A-Story uses this toll free
1-888-878-8660.
A computer changes the story every day, to encourage children
to call back daily. For some kids this will be their only "Christian"
contact or teaching.
This new system provides for immediate contact with a "live" volunteer.
At the end of the story the announcer will invite anyone wanting to
accept Christ to make contact by pushing a phone digit.
CEF's Good News Guide volunteers will
have a simple script to follow and we will provide training. When
someone indicates they want to accept Christ by
pushing the button, the call is forwarded to a volunteer's phone.
Volunteers will be asked to set aside 1 to 4 hours per week to be near
their phone (land line). Their schedule is programmed into the computer,
so they will be "on call" the same hours each week. (It will be possible
to change hours, or be removed.)
If you are interested in assisting with
this ministry, please contact your local
