  • Wonderful times of worship led by Niah and Allisha Merrill
  • Praying for one another and for the ministry of CEF
  • A wide array of workshops to help you grow spiritually, minister with excellence, and endure the tough times
  • A Friday evening concert put on by the well-known Christian band Philips, Craig, and Dean.
  • The opportunity to network with other believers

Whether you are CEF staff, a volunteer, a member of a board or committee, or a ministry partner, you will want to set aside the time to be refreshed at Ridgecrest.

We look forward to seeing you in North Carolina from May 19-24.

Dear CEF family around the world,

I am excited to see our staff, volunteers, ministry partners, and board and committee members from around the world at our 2025 International Conference at Ridgecrest.

The Lord has entrusted us with the children of the nations. As we come together to praise what God has done, to envision God’s desire for children from every nation, every tribe, and every tongue, and to hold God’s great vision for them in our hearts, we will take bold steps of obedience to reach 100 million children.

We will build ministry highways among the nations and disciple children and youth into God’s army to advance the fulfillment of the Great Commission. We will form a global network, intercede for one another, encourage one another, and run hand in hand to fulfill the mission the Lord entrusted us.

Let us come together in the presence of God and seek to accomplish great things for Him.

Every Child, Every Nation, Every Day.

A servant of the Gospel,
