About CEF Mid-Columbia
Staff
Julie Fritts, Local Director
[Contact Julie]Julie accepted Jesus as a child of seven and knows that a child can personally know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. This is the reason she said YES to being the Director of Mid-Columbia CEF in 2008. As Director, Julie oversees the training of teachers in the Good News Club curriculum, visits churches to tell of the work of CEF and how they can be involved in reaching the children in their community, and even gets to have "feet on the ground" by being involved in three Good News Clubs. God is doing mighty things in the Mid-Columbia and you can be a part of that by impacting children for eternity through Good News Clubs and 5-Day Clubs in your community.
Lurel Smith, Office Manager
[Contact Lurel]Lurel Smith's earliest childhood memory is of her standing knee high to her mother, as her mother read and explained the Bible teachings to her. Lurel has known her whole life that reaching children with the gospel and teaching them to build a relationship with Christ before they launch into the world is the most important thing she can do for our future generation. The last few decades, Lurel and her husband have raised their family to know Christ and to also build relationships with Christ in the children of the Gorge. Serving CEF as an Office Manager and Bookkeeper is a perfect fit for her to be able to keep active her calling, to support staff and teachers as they teach the gospel, and show children the way to have a relationship with Christ Jesus.
