2021 is the Platinum Anniversary of CEF of South Carolina!
One way we’re celebrating is to highlight one of our staff members each week. (You can read more about our 70th Anniversary on our blog here.)
This week, meet Paula Edwards! She is our office extraordinaire here at CEF Greenville and makes sure everything stays running smoothly. She has been on staff since January of 1999. She first discovered CEF through her daughter, Shannon. Shannon’s college roommate introduced Shannon to CEF and Shannon worked for CEF after getting married. Paula and her husband, Sonny, were asked to serve on the board and did so from 1995-1998.
Her favorite thing about CEF is how they’re able to share the Good News of Jesus with children, and she says “it has been such a blessing to work with wonderful people who love God and want to reach the children with the love of Jesus.” One of her favorite things about serving with CEF Greenville in particular is working with the summer missionaries—one time she walked into the office on their last day and found that it had been rolled from ceiling to floor with toilet paper! She shares about her mother below:
I would have to say my Mother had the biggest impact on my Christian life. The verses in Deuteronomy about teaching your children daily as you walk and talk with them. This was what my Mother did. She would discover some new verse or learn something new in a Bible Study and she would be excited and always share and teach me love God’s Word.
