Case Study: Child Evangelism Fellowship strengthens its chapter network with Neon One’s Network Advantage Program

Child Evangelism Fellowship unites 353 chapters with Neon One’s Network Advantage Program

Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF), a large federated ministry with hundreds of independent local chapters, faced significant operational challenges. Its decentralized structure led to chapters operating in isolation, struggling with inefficient administrative systems, and lacking collective buying power for technology. This resulted in high costs, staff burnout, and missed opportunities for donor engagement. To address this, CEF partnered with vendor Neon One and its Network Advantage Program.

Neon One's solution provided a pre-configured, ministry-ready CRM for all chapters, reducing setup barriers and costs. The program included cohort-based training and dedicated support, which fostered a new community of peer sharing among chapters. This eliminated the "island" feeling for staff and allowed them to focus on their ministry. The measurable impact was a stronger, more connected network with streamlined operations and improved donor experiences.
