  • Guidelines for the Christian Family
    Guidelines for the Christian Family ROY HARRISON Guidelines for the Christian Family 2 Guidelines for the Christian Family Background to the book Roy and Ruth Harrison grew up in N. Ireland and came to personal faith in Christ there. They became workers with Child Evangelism Fellowship® (CEF®) in September 1966, serving first of all as missionaries in France and then as Assistant European Directors, based in Switzerland, for 20 years. From 1993 to 2010, they were Regional Directors for Europe. After handing over responsibility for the work in Europe, they became Area Directors for 11 countries of North West Europe until the end of 2018. Roy and Ruth have four children (who are married and living in the Paris area) and 11 grandchildren. They share from their many years of experience in the Lord’s service and at home, what the Bible teaches about the family and how to put it into practice in daily life. A quote from Roy: “I do not offer a magic formula for instant success, but some principles and guidelines, which I trust God will use, so that more Christian parents will be led into the greatest joy of family life - that of worshipping God together in the name of Jesus Christ.” Copyright © 1986, 2020 Child Evangelism Fellowship of Europe.

  • I Will Be Really Honest - I Could Not Figure out What to Write for This Newsletter Article
    I will be really honest - I could not figure out what to write for this newsletter article. It’s amazing how writer’s block hits at the same time the newsletter article is due. Every time - right on time. So, I thought I would share an article that made me stop and rethink the power of silence - especially times of quiet and still- ness before the Lord. The article is so simple, yet so counter-cultural. Here it is. I hope it stops you in your tracks and forces you to think - as it did me. Leave the Noise and Listen to God by Scott Hurst Silence is hard to find. Can you remember the last time you were around complete silence? My first experience of noise-canceling headphones a few years ago was a rare experience. I was in Best Buy and grabbed a pair of Beats by Dre noise-canceling headphones. Sounds of shopping carts, chatting customers, checkout counters, radios, and the hum of electricity surrounded me. Putting on those headphones made it all disappear. It was the quietest I ever heard. In the company of so much noise, a quiet moment is almost impossible to find. Even while writing about silence, I am surrounded by noise. I have music in the background; I can hear bags crinkling, the fridge opening and closing as my wife puts the groceries away, and our boys are playing downstairs with all the normal noise of a two-year-old and a five- year-old. In a world with this much noise and many obstacles, is it worth pursuing time in silence? Biblical characters like Moses, Joshua, and Elijah show the gain of escaping the noise and being still before God.
