Christ For Me, Inc. | Our History Since 1978, it has been the goal of Christ For Me, Inc. to bring the Gospel to individuals across the United States. Establishing the Individual in the Word of God is our goal and priority. The first issue of the Christ For Me magazine went to about 100 children in October, 1978. God began growing His ministry for His purpose, reaching into the homes of children all across the United States.
God brought an existing correspondence and prison ministry into the fold on January 1, 2000. These two ministries acquired have a rich history in evangelism and teaching spiritual growth. The addition of the correspondence ministry fulfilled a long-time goal of the organization to minister through Bible Studies. Until 2001, CFM did not have a permanent place to call "home." Operating first out of our home, then in a rented storefront, the Board of Directors began seeking a permanent home for the ministry. We located a building that had originally been constructed and dedicated for ministry. We began to pray. The Board decided to move ahead with the project but only on a cash basis -- no debt. The price was $135,000. In less than 5 months, we saw God move and work in the hearts of His people to purchase the facility in November, 2001. Praise the Lord. Meet Our Board Ron Goossen, President/founder. He began the ministry at the age of 16. He attended Calvary Bible College. As a young person, he dedicated his life to serve the Lord. It was through his connection with Child Evangelism Fellowship as a teen that he was led by the Lord to begin the ministry.

Jesus and Me, a Magazine for Little People, was added to Christ For Me in 1996. It included stories and teaching truths for the preschool child. In 1998, the ministry expanded to the Internet, believing this to be another avenue of sharing God's Word. |
