CYIA Training Details Your training will be focused on preparing you to teach 5-Day Clubs. These are Bible clubs for children held in backyards, community centers, parks, or apartment complexes. Really, anywhere children gather. They are 90 minutes a day for five consecutive days during the summer.
Our summer missionaries (YOU) teach exciting Bible lessons and true-to-life missionary stories. These clubs also include: fun games, singing, sharing, memorizing verses, and more fun ways to share the Gospel.
You will receive individual and group instruction from enthusiastic and godly CEF®leaders. These instructors will equip you to teach and counsel boys and girls to receive Christ.
The CYIA training is held at a facility that is well suited for individualized instruction and group learning. Opportunities for sports and recreation are included in the training schedule. By completing the training program, you will be certified to teach children, witness to those you babysit, and minister effectively to your neighbors, friends and relatives.
