Mackenzie Bagley grew up in Aroostook County and was saved at a young age. She was first introduced to CEF® when she attended Wilderness Day Camp as a camper. God used the missionary stories to burden her heart for missions, particularly child evangelism. As a teen, she attended Christian Youth in Action®, where she learned how to share the Gospel. She began volunteering with CEF, including teaching Good News Club®. Mackenzie attended New Brunswick Bible Institute, where she received her Associate Diploma of Biblical and Theological Studies. She has also gained experience working as an elementary teacher’s aide and a summer missionary with both the Northern Maine Chapter and Camp Good News®.

In the fall of 2022, Mackenzie attended Children’s Ministries Institute®. While there, God called her serve as staff with CEF of Northern Maine. In December of that year, she became the Children’s Ministry Specialist/Coordinator in her chapter. As such, she organizes and trains Good News Club teams, promotes the ministry at churches, and serves in many other capacities. Her favorite parts are teaching kids and making connections with volunteers and supporters.

“God has done amazing things in the chapter in this past year, including bringing new Good News Club teams and teacher training opportunities. I am excited to keep serving Him where He has me, watching Him lead and grow the ministry to reach more children in Aroostook County!”
