Recently a three-year-old asked, “What if Jesus had not been born?” Ironically that was the same question my adult small group had pondered and discussed at length.

Katherine Stewart wrote a book titled Good News Club: The Christian Right’s Stealth Assault on America’s Children. She claims to be a journalist, but failed to observed one of the most important elements of journalism when writing her book about Child Evangelism Fellowship and Good News Club.
There have been steady attacks on Child Evangelism Fellowship in general, particularly on Good News Clubs. Many of these attacks have been launched on the Internet and most of the time the attackers are atheist individuals or groups. Child Evangelism Fellowship would like to correct the misinformation in these attacks. These individuals are atheists and do not believe in God. They reject the Bible and everything in it. If Christians stand for the truth of God’s Word, they too will be attacked.
