Patience

By Adam Lowry, CBM National Intern - It’s hard sometimes to wait, especially when others are getting something before you.  As an intern, I am raising support for a mission trip and I have only raised a small portion of the dollars needed for my support account.  Some of the other interns have already collected at least 50% of their support, and I feel left behind. Me, as a person, I want to be the person ahead of everyone; I want to be the one who has it all together.  During all this waiting, who are some people in the Bible who had trouble with patience and what did they do about it? One of the best stories of patience is the story of ...

Working for the Weekends

By Rebecca Colson, CBM National Intern - My four months at the CBM headquarters are complete and I’m now already halfway through my first rotation at a CBM camp. For my first rotation I’ve been given the amazing opportunity to serve at New Life Camp in Raleigh, North Carolina. While I live on camp property and serve at monthly camp events, the majority of my time is spent a few minutes down the road serving with Cedar Point Community Outreach. Cedar Point is an apartment complex that primarily houses refugees. Every week I get the privilege to serve alongside dedicated volunteers in preschool and Homework Help classes for students of all ...

I Stand Amazed

By Emileah Hawkins, CBM National Intern - I was raised in church. I knew a lot of Bible stories and I could answer the questions they asked in Sunday school. I said a prayer to ask God to save me when I was eight years old. But I did it because I thought that was what was expected of me. I saw all the other kids my age at church doing that, so I did too. I knew about God, but I did not know God. I knew the Bible said that God loves me, but I never really felt His love. I knew the Bible said God has the best plan for me, but I kept living my life doing what I wanted. I told myself I was doing what God wanted me to do, but I never actually prayed ...

Half-Time at CBM

By Ryan Everritt, CBM National Intern - Hello, my name is Ryan Everritt. I am from Chancellor, Alabama and I am an intern with Children's Bible Ministries (CBM) National Internship Program. I am a student, in training for the mission field for Christ. I learned about Children's Bible Ministries through friends of the family. They mentioned it to me twice, because I had forgotten about it the first time. Once I put my application in, and got accepted shortly after, I and my three new friends and fellow interns, William Martin, Adam Lowry and Emileah Hawkins, began our first four months of training at CBM National Headquarters, after which we will be ...

Feeling at Home

By Josiah Zannino, CBM National Intern - Hi, I am Josiah and I’m an intern with Children’s Bible Ministries (CBM). I have been in Samson, AL serving at Camp Victory. While I was serving at Camp Victory, I got to work with Paul, who is the maintenance supervisor, as well as Chad, the groundskeeper, and Daniel, another missionary. We worked fixing faucets and showers; we did electrical work; made trails in the woods; and picked up pinecones. They made work interesting and they made me feel at home. They talked to me. The way they talked to me gave me a good feeling—like when a dad takes his kid fishing, or to go get ice cream, and you feel ...
