Rev. Jesse Irvin Overholtzer, who is fondly known as Mr. O founded the ministry of Child Evangelism Fellowship beginning in Chicago, IL, which is now a worldwide ministry today reaching over 25 million children with the Gospel!

Listen to an actual recording of Mr. O as he tells the story of how the Lord burdened him to begin an interdenominational children's ministry with a worldwide vision to evangelize children with the Gospel, to disciple them in the Word of God, and to establish children into Bible believing churches for further growth and Christian living.
