The Becks - Jens, Sheila, Jane (05/11/98) and Ellen (08/21/00) have been missionaries with Child Evangelism Fellowship of NH® (CEF) since 1998. They serve year round at Camp Good News® in Charlestown, NH – a ministry of CEF of NH. Jens is the Program Director, while Sheila is the Volunteer Coordinator.

Jens and Sheila became acquainted with the ministry of Camp Good News as they would bring their youth group to do service projects in the spring and fall. In the spring of 1997, Jens was asked to help build a challenge course at camp. He agreed and spent many weekends that spring building the course, a zip line and climbing wall. Upon its completion, Jens was also asked to train the staff. He agreed and many weeks that summer were spent making sure the facilitating staff was following his training.

During this time, the Lord was calling Jens and Sheila to full time ministry. Because of their past experiences, camping and children’s ministry seemed to be a natural place to serve the Lord. In the winter of 1997/1998 the Becks were asked to come to Camp Good News to serve year-round as Program Directors. After speaking with the CEF State Board, it was agreed to use the summer of 1998 as a test season for both CEF and the Becks. After that summer, both Jens and Sheila felt that God was calling them into full time ministry with CEF at Camp Good News. While raising their support, they served at Camp Good News during the summers and lived in Littleton, NH, where Jens worked as a Special Education Paraprofessional during the school year. In April of 2002, they finally raise enough support to join the camp staff year-round. During that spring and summer they lived in a trailer on camp’s property. That fall the Lord provided a house to rent only one mile up the road from camp.

In the fall of 2008, Jens completed his requirement of Children’s Ministry Institute at CEF International Headquarters in Warrenton, Missouri.

Besides their involvement at Camp Good News, the Becks teach Good News Clubs® in the fall and winter and are involved in their local church ministry. Sheila has served two terms on the Charlestown Library Board of Trustees and also home schools Jane and Ellen. Jens coaches soccer in the fall and speaks at numerous chapels.

Since the Becks started serving at camp in 1998, many changes that have taken place in the Camp Good News ministry and programs. They have worked under two different directors and are once again without an executive director. Each season brings changes in staff, volunteers and facility. Through all the changes, they have seen God’s sovereign hand at work in shaping the Camp Good News ministry and the lives it touches.
