Core Values
Atlantic Provincial Director
Debbie Hatfield
Born in Ontario, Debbie's parents moved to New Brunswick in 1985 to follow God's calling in camp and music ministry. It was from here that her passion for children's ministry began. Debbie has been married to Terry for 35 years, and they have 3 children and 2 grandchildren. She and her husband have served in churches as youth leaders, children's programs leaders, media production, and participants in church musicals. In 2010, Debbie was called into full-time children's ministry at their church and a local Kids' Club Foundation as their program director. When March 2020 came, and the world was halted, family responsibilities changed with her father having a stroke and parents moving to a senior's home, all while one of their children was dealing with multiple health issues.
With the unknown of the times, she and Terry trusted that God knew the plan and they could trust Him. Well, in March of 2023, she heard and answered the call to become the Atlantic Director for CEF Canada. Her focus is twofold: working with churches, helping to train workers in the CEF curriculum, and reaching out to their community with the gospel. And secondly, to find and train volunteers to help establish clubs like the Good News Clubs and our 5-Day Clubs, reaching kids for Christ. She is excited to see what God will do in the Atlantic Provinces.
