Being a CYIA Summer Missionary means hard work. You must be willing to learn and study your Bible Lessons, and to accept constructive criticism from your leaders.

This summer will be rewarding, but you must also pray and consider the hard work and sacrifices you will face in accepting your task as a CYIA Missionary.

While attending the CYIA training, you must agree to abide by regulations set forth in the standards of conduct and the dress code and to conform to its fundamental standards of honor. Please be aware that CEF may request the withdrawal of any trainee who, in the opinion of the staff, does not abide by the regulations set forth.

Financial Policy for Christian Youth In Action®

1. Minimum Work Requirement- teens must work a minimum of two weeks after attending Christian Youth in Action training.

2.      Criteria to be a Paid Employee- teens must choose to work as volunteers or paid employees. Those who opt to be paid must meet the following criteria:

a.       Must be 14 years old (by federal law, teens under 14 cannot receive wages). Teens who turn 14 during the summer may be paid for clubs taught after their 14th birthday.

b.      Submit an Employment Application and completed forms (W-4, IA-W4 and I-9) to the CEF office by the time of CYIA.

c.       Raise enough support to adequately cover training fee and wages earned.

3.      Support Raising- all paid CYIA summer missionaries are required to raise support for the CYIA fund, compiling a list of at least 25 people to whom they will send support letters. CEF will format and print support letters for the teens using a CYIA support letter template which describes training and summer ministry. At CYIA pre-training, teens will have the opportunity to prepare and address their letters for distribution.

4.      CYIA Fund- all monies contributed on behalf of a summer missionary will be put into their CEF chapter CYIA fund. CEF will issue a tax-deductible receipt to all donors.

5.      Surplus Financial Gifts- if more support comes in for a teen than is needed to cover his/her summer ministry expenses, the surplus will be allocated to help defray the cost of the summer 5-Day Club® ministry. This will be stated on support-raising letters. Funds will not be designated for individuals and carried over to the next year.

6.      Timesheet & Salary- to receive pay, summer missionaries must submit 5-Day Club weekly report/timesheets indicating clubs taught. Checks will be issued once, at the end of the summer. Pay is determined by the salary schedule below.

Please note: Child Evangelism Fellowship makes every effort to utilize funds as designated; however, according to IRS guidelines all gifts must be under the direction and control of CEF to be used for charitable purpose of the ministry.

Salary Schedule

1st year teacher- $65 per club

2nd year teacher- $70 per club

3rd year teacher- $80 per club

4th year teacher (or 18 or older)- $90 per club

Note: clubs are scheduled to run for 1.5 hours each.
I have read the CYIA Financial Policy and agree to abide thereby.
