Reflections of an Intern Coordinator

By CBM National Intern Coordinator, JP Davis -  As I sit down and reflect on the Lord’s work this past year, I am flooded with an overwhelming sense of amazement and thankfulness. Our God is so gracious to His children. My favorite hymn is “It is Well with My Soul.” I believe it sums up this past year and all that is to come. There are so many things that happen during just one year of the internship. Satan doesn’t like it when God’s people follow Him. He tries to buffet us, trust me. Trials come and go on a daily basis. They may be simple; they may be complex. Life is not a smooth, easy ride. And then there is our sinfulness. Oh, ...

CBM Intern – Have Faith

By CBM National intern, Priscilla Depew - Hello everyone! I am serving at Camp Gilead in Polk City, Florida for my second rotation. I was previously at Camp Victory in Samson, Alabama and switching camps was kind of hard in the beginning. I was used to knowing exactly what I was supposed to do and when I was supposed to do it. I had a solid schedule but, being here, I haven't had that. I was stressing about not knowing what I was supposed to do. I got really worried about it. I'm more used to it now than I was because I realized God is still in control. He knows what He's doing, so I don't have to worry. I can have peace. When I was at Camp ...

CBM Intern – Be the Rubber Band!

By CBM National intern, Cati Watts -  Flexibility is an important quality to have in your life, even more so if you are in ministry at all. When I think of flexibility I always think of a rubber band and how a good one can stretch really far without breaking. Webster’s dictionary definition describes flexibility as being “characterized by a ready capability to adapt to new, different, or changing requirements.” In the past I have considered myself a flexible person but the last couple of months have shown me that it is not as easy as I thought to be flexible. I have experienced 2 different kinds of flexibility: Creative Flexibility ...

CBM Interns – The New and the Uncomfortable

By CBM National intern, Cati Watts - What is it that scares us so much about change? Things change all the time and at some point in everyone’s life they are in a new situation. I do not like being in that position. I have just been placed in a new situation on my first rotation with the CBM National Internship at Ponderosa Bible Camp. Within the first couple of days I realized I was feeling quite uncomfortable and awkward, so I began to search for the root reasons why. Fear: Although the missionaries were new to me, they were super friendly and nice people, so why did I feel awkward? I realized what it came down to was my fear. Fear ...

CBM Intern – Job-Like Faith

By CBM National intern, Jamie Carpenter - As I reach the halfway point of the CBM National Internship, I stop and take a minute to reflect on everything that I have done and all the things my heavenly Father has taught me. I ask myself, “What is God going to teach me next?” I have faced many trials in these past six months and my flesh wants to get angry with God and ask “Why?” but, in my heart, I know that’s wrong. God is allowing me to go through difficult times so that I will run to Him. Who am I to ask the Creator of the universe, the King of kings, the Lord of lords, why something is happening to me? If not for Him, I would not ...
