Loving God by Loving Your Brother
By Adam Lowry, CBM National Intern -
Now that I'm near the end of my internship, one thing that I've seen from each of the camps I've gone to, is brotherly, godly love. The staff has treated me as one of them, to the point that I could feel God through them. Love is seen all over in the Bible, since the beginning of time. Because God loved us first, He has shown us how to love and given us examples of His love. The greatest example God’s of love is the story of Jesus Christ. Since the very beginning of the Bible, God has shown His love to man. Even though He ...
Much More than Missions
By Billy Long, CBM National Intern -
Hello, and welcome to Much More than Missions! My name is Billy Long and I am an intern on Team 9 with Children's Bible Ministries (CBM).
Today I'm going to tell the story of how God led me to become an intern. The best part of this story is probably the fact that I don't remember the exact moment I decided to apply for the program! First things first, I am from central Florida, in Bartow, about forty-five minutes away from CBM's Camp Gilead in Polk City. Living relatively close to Camp Gilead, I had heard about it for a few years ...
A New Voyage
By Dennis Farris, CBM National Intern -
The ropes are released and you can hear the soft whir as the engine starts. The boat slowly begins moving forward across the water. The captain begins to steer, to ensure a safe departure, and consults his maps and instruments to ensure a safe voyage. At this point, one must put his faith in the boat, that it won't sink or fall apart, and in the captain, that he may get you safely across the seas. When we are called of God, our journey into a life with Him can be seen as something similar. We throw off the ropes, the things ...
Trusting God’s Plan Despite My Fear
By Katlyn Carney, CBM National Intern -
When I was in 4th grade, I went to Camp Gilead’s “Fun-O-Mania” for a little weekend getaway. This was my first time away from home for more than a day, without family, so I was ecstatic and could not wait to go! When I got there, my emotions did a 180…I was terrified! After the weekend was over, I begged my parents never to send me to camp again, and they didn’t. Nothing bad happened, it just was not for me. I did not know anybody, and everyone else knew each other, so I was pretty much alone the whole weekend. I had ...
Be a Missionary Wherever You Are
By Emileah Hawkins, CBM National Intern -
When people think of a missionary they usually picture someone in a foreign country, like Africa, helping the sick and poor. That is true; some missionaries do that. These people believe they have been called to make it their full-time job to tell others about God. They live all over the globe and put their lives on the line for what they believe.
I think of the story of two young men in the 1700’s. They had heard about an island with a large population of slaves. They were determined to share the Gospel with them. They ...
