Education | Group offers after-school Bible clubs in two Seattle elementary schools | Seattle Times Newspaper:

"An evangelical organization again is offering after-school Bible clubs in two Seattle elementary schools this year, part of its statewide push to convert young children to Christianity.

The clubs at Loyal Heights and Whittier elementary schools are the first Good News Clubs in the Seattle School District, but they likely won't be the last. The Child Evangelism Fellowship, the clubs' sponsor, plans to focus on King County as it works to double the number of children it reaches each year — from 5 percent of Washington residents ages 5-12 now to 10 percent."
