CEIS exists to meet the demand for
parents wanting their children to
receive Christian Education at school
CEIS currently provides this service in 22 schools
and coordinates nearly 50 sessions per term
Current research tells us that 92% of
Australian children have no connection
to a church
AND YET
25% of parents are
saying YES when it is
requested in their child’s school
What are the children saying?
“I now see how
much Jesus
loves me and do
you know, I love
Him too!”
“Because of Jesus
we can be friends
with God again forever!”
“He came alive
again! That’s
crazy!”
“I wasn’t going to
come today, but I
got it! I really
got it!”
“It’s just like a big
puzzle but now all
the pieces fit
together!”
Thousands of local school children are
learning about GOD! And requests keep
coming! You can help CEIS meet this
demand by:
• letting parents know they can request Christian
Education at their child’s school
• praying for CEIS
• volunteering in schools
• donating
Every $ donated helps children
connect to GOD through
• delivery of Christian Education
• training for volunteers
• resources, staff and infrastructure
• coordination across schools, churches, volunteers
• promotion of CEIS to ACT parents & volunteers
• information to all parties
Today’s event is a moment for giving

A simple plan can achieve solutions
One event helps one school…
One session helps one child…
One child meets one God…
One life changed…
"As one person I cannot change the world,
but I can change the world of one person."
