1). CpC have a number of training courses as follows:-

a). Beginners course:- This is designed for those who want to enter the ministry of Child Evangelism. This course covers subjects like: what does the Bible say that I should teach children, when do I teach children, what methods do I use in teaching children, how do I counsel a child to receive Christ and last but not least how do I help child Christians grow. This course is on run on a demand requirement i.e. there has to be more than 20 desiring this training before the course begins and as a result some 2 – 3 a year are conducted with upwards of 30 attending. The training is done over a period of three weeks and there is a practical exam on teaching a lesson and counselling involving the pupils actually doing these subjects on each other at the end. The training is now conducted at the CpC Christian centre in Varfurile in the western mountains of Romania.
●Note 1 :- The picture here is a typical group of beginners and some shown here have now gone on to become leaders in the work.

b). Regulars Training: - This, as the title suggest is run regularly throughout the winter [Oct through to April]. This meets the ongoing demands of the mature and experienced teachers of children of both genders and from many denominations.  Here regular Bible and doctrine ministry is involved to encourage and feed the souls of Child Evangelist and to steady the vision of the same. Further the training involves a programme of providing and explaining a serious of lessons covering most of the bible [over 5 years] produced and printed by CpC. These are distributed in kit form and contain the Bible lesson in flannel graph, Bible memory verses, and associated songs including missionary stories of Godly people in the past. The attendance varies from 80 – 120 depending on exams as a lot of university students attend. The ages of those who attend range from 17 – 50’s and are held in various churches. Further most who attend run CpC Home Bible clubs throughout the winter and these meeting are as the tile suggests are held in homes throughout Romania.

c). 5 Day club Course:- This is designed for those who want to evangelise children out in the open air who as a rule don’t go the church and have never heard of the Lord Jesus. This type of outreach is called a 5 Day Club as it involves going to the same site at the same time [for 1 hour] for 5 consecutive days. The course is run once every year in the month just before Easter to take advantage of the school holidays. Again the teaching material is in the form of a teaching pack and compiled by CfC. The training last for a day and includes the running of an actual live 5 Day club. The training is now conducted at the CpC Christian centre in Varfurile in the western mountains of Romania
