I believe in what God does through CEI, so I want to be a part of it's growth!
When I think of the impact that CEI is making on the lives of young women of Christ in this country as well as in other countries, I am humbled and blessed to be just a small part of it. Your ministry is AMAZING!!! I know it is all God's but you gals are doing such an amazing job. I am privileged to be your friends and to join in by praying for all of you and all of your trips. Believing that we can go again sometime soon!!!!!
"Recently I have been looking for a way to combine my two passions: God and softball. Then I found CEI, which allows me to grow in both. I am also anxious to share my faith with others, especially in a place where people seldom get a chance to hear about Jesus like we do in America." (South Carolina)
"I have always felt like God called me to use my athletic abilities as a way of reaching out to those who are lost. I had been praying that God would provide a place for me to get involved in mission work, ideally sports related, but I didn't know of any such organizations at the time. But not too long after I began praying, I received an e-mail about CEI, and I really feel like this is an answer to my prayers."
Going to Thailand last summer changed my life in ways I cannot even begin to explain... Because of last summer's trip I decided to seek an internship (with another sports ministry)... I know that I will one day go overseas with CEI again...I am sure of it!
"It was a great trip, awesome worship times and I met some lifelong friends."
"What a feeling it was to be in a coaches box in Bangkok. I really enjoyed coaching Christian athletes. This whole experience was life changing experience for me. My faith has grown dramatically."
"I will forever remember my trip as being the most amazing experience of my spiritual life and I just pray that others will have that same joy."
"Some of my fondest moments in life are from the mission teams I participated on, the experiences brought about by those teams, games and travels, God's use of me and teammates and growth that occurred in me and my faith. I am very thankful for your diligence in following God's will and allowing me to be a part of this ministry."
"You gotta know how much that trip meant to me, I learned so much and had such a wonderful time. It's hard to explain."
"On the teams I have traveled on there were so many little interactions and exchanges that have marked my life forever. There were so many incredible athletes on that trip...incredible athletically and spiritually. Our worship time was sweet, our mission was real, and we laughed a lot. I still keep in touch with so many of the women on that team and consider them some of my best friends. God made us click as a team so quickly, after only meeting each other a couple days. God really used the entire trip to change my life."
"Never before have I shared in such fellowship with a team that is so eager to spread the Word of God. This was a life impacting experience."
"Through this team, I realized what it means to give back your gifts and talents to glorify the Lord. The opportunities to share Jesus Christ were endless and so was the grace. Working with the CEI staff made me feel I was truly part of God's family. Spending time devoting our efforts to increase His Kingdom made the trip more enjoyable then I can put into words."
"The way that you all run your ministry and are truly sold out for the Lord is what shines. Not only do you spread the Word throughout the world, but you share His love with those that you disciple and encourage each summer. Thank you so much for being a light in this world. I can always look back at my time spent in California and East Asia last summer and find encouragement- not only from memories, but I can always call on the life-long friends that I made."
