English CMI and to offer Portugese and French CMIs on a rotating
basis as the need arises.

Willie and
Erika have 4 children Roelien married to Albrie Woeke, and their son
Nathan Woeke, Riaan and Estelle married to Smittie van Aarde.Therefore we can trust them with the children
of other people.
Willie and Erika van Aswegen plays a vital role to promote CEF through Modern Evangelism Methods by presenting a weekly Good News Club on Television to the children of Africa and beyond. There love for the people and children of Africa made that they were appointed as leaders through Modern Evangelism Methods in C.E.F.S.A.I.O.R. and the rest of the world. Their vision is to use the Media to reach the children in their own house through Television because we read in:
Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations and then will the end come."
What is a Good News Club®?
A Good News Club® is a weekly Bible Club for children that is presented in their own neighborhood. The purpose is to bring the Gospel (Good News) of Jesus Christ to children of all ages. This includes Bible Lessons, memory verses, mission stories, songs, prayer, review, games etc.
During 2004 Willie and Erika saw that God was opening a door on Christian Television on the Spirit Word Channel and they took the challenge. They trusted God for all the finances to buy all the needed equipment like cameras, computers, lights etc and started their first broadcast on 25 December 2004.
Willie
and Erika does all the recording and editing of the program called
"The
Good News Club"
and can
be seen on Saturdays at 10h30 on the Spirit Word
Channel
The Spirit Word Channel can be viewed via Satellite as well as through Live Streaming on the Internet. To tune in your specific decoder to watch the program, go to their Website at: www.spiritwordchannel.org and follow the instructions on the screen.
The Television does not always bring Good News to our children. This is an opportunity to present a weekly Good News Club® through television to each child in his own home so that the Great Commission of Mark 16:15 can be fulfilled.
