How the ministry works

Built for volunteers and welcoming to families

CEF Ventura served for many years through the Little Red School House and is transitioning that familiar fair ministry into the Good News Trailer.

Volunteers greet fairgoers, invite families inside, and tell a Bible story in a clear, child-friendly way. CEF provides training so each volunteer is prepared for the role.

The trailer can also serve at local church harvest festivals, Christmas party clubs, Easter events, carnivals, and other one-time community gatherings.

A volunteer's experience

Confidence grew through serving

“The first time I worked in the Little Red Schoolhouse I was terrified. After sharing the most important message in all the world, the fear of doing evangelism left me, never to return.”
