Greater Madison Announces New Director of Training


Jeaneen Dau - New Director of Training
When I was a child, growing up in Denver, Colorado, we hosted a 5- Day Club™ at our home every summer. I remember it being a highlight of my summer. As I grew up, my older sister and I became 5-Day Club missionaries, teaching throughout the Denver area.

After moving to Madison my sophomore year of High School, I began teaching 5-Day Clubs in Wisconsin. After teaching for 5 years, I enrolled in TCE1 and even helped with some of the demonstrations. I really enjoyed that class and found myself using what I learned in the children's ministries I led at our church.
Later as my husband and I chose to homeschool our children, I used the tools I learned with my involvement with CEF on a daily basis, and we continued to host 5DC’s in our neighborhood.

Fast forward about 20 years, my daughter Morgan started teaching 5- Day Clubs in Madison, which started the dominoes falling into place for me to get involved with CEF again. I attended IOT training at CEF Headquarters in March of 2015 and became a teacher trainer for the Madison Chapter.

It wasn’t long until the Lord brought another opportunity with CEF. We learned that our dear Director of Training, Eddie Marshall, was moving out of state to be closer to family.

Eddie was one of the first people I met when I moved here from Colorado. She drove me to CYIA training and was one of my instructors. I was touched by her kindness and graciousness to me. With the news that Madison would need a Director of Training, I felt a calling to this position. I began to pray about this opportunity and the Lord made it clear to me that He wanted me to pursue the position.

I have been blessed to walk hand in hand with Eddie Marshal this last year. She handed me the “baton” with all the graciousness in the world. I’m still overwhelmed when I think about the ministry Eddie has had here for over 50 years and sometimes I feel so inadequate to follow in her footsteps. God promises to equip those He has called and in my heart I know that he is equipping me for this new position.

Summer Missionaries Ready to Serve


Western WI Summer Missionaries
“On the first day of our Good News Summer Club last year, no kids from the community came, but we invited a sister and brother nearby to join us. They came to the Club and were excited to tell friends about it. The next day they returned and brought friends back with them. Each day afterward, the num-ber of kids grew as word spread through the neighborhood. Later in the week I had the opportunity to talk one-on-one with a little boy about believing in Jesus. He shared with me that he put his trust in Jesus that day at Club! God knew each child that would come to camp that week. He brought them to club in His timing and allowed us to share His salvation with them!”


Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.”


It is amazing to think of all that went in to reaching those children and hundreds of others like them last summer! Yes, we had a team of missionaries, but they wouldn’t have been able to go out and teach if people had not given money to support them and pay for the materials they used and the training they got. People prayed, making it possible for them to have spiritual victory. People gave of their time to host Clubs and serve snacks. People encouraged them during and after a long week of ministry. It takes the body of Christ to go and bring the Gospel to the lost in our neighborhoods! And we are getting ready to do it all again!

the children

Our Good News and Party Club teachers and their families gathered together at Walkers Restaurant in Beaver Dam on May 1st for a meal and fellowship. It was also an opportunity to formally say thank you to our faithful teachers that give of their time and talents throughout the year to make sure the Message of Salvation is taught properly to children. Through these teachers, children may come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Without our teachers, CEF would not exist. Thank you Teachers for a great year!
