CBM Intern – New Places with Great Changes

By CBM National intern, Jamie Carpenter -  A year ago, I never thought I would be where I am today (quite literally, who would have known I would ever live in Tennessee?!). The Lord has brought me through so much within these last twelve months and I am forever thankful to Him for that. I was so unsure about beginning CBM’s National Internship, just because I was afraid and I did not have any idea what to expect. My first day here in Townsend was pretty chill because I got here at 8 AM and everyone else wasn’t supposed to arrive until later that afternoon. ...

CBM Intern – Looking Back, Looking Forward

By CBM National intern,  Stephanie Schwan - Well, here we are. We made it, folks. The year is almost over and Christmas and the New Year is upon us! Where did the time go? For many of us, myself included, it flew by. 2016 has been a whirlwind of controversy, change, loss, and upheaval worldwide, but also of learning, growth, building, and hope.  We know who is in control of it all, whether it feels like a time of unprecedented hope with a bright future gleaming ahead, or the brink of certain disaster with doom and despair looming on every side. Whether things ...

CBM Intern – A Servant’s Heart

By CBM National intern,  Cati Watts - Coming into CBM’s National Internship, I knew I would learn a lot but I had no idea how much. One of the first things I learned is that in ministry you do a lot of cleaning. As a National Intern, I am learning to clean just about everything! Dishes, toilets, floors, office spaces, baseboards; you name it, I have cleaned it! I never realized how important even just getting a table wiped off can be to the ministry. When I was growing up and would complain about cleaning, my mom would often quote Colossians 3:23-24, which says, ...

CBM Intern – It Doesn’t End Here

By CBM National intern, Jordan Mancari -  It's hard for me to believe, that by the time you read this I will have completed the CBM National Internship. It's been a great journey and God has blessed me in so many various ways. In this blog, I'm going to briefly share some of the things God has taught me at my different rotations. Months at CBM HQ During my 4 months of training at CBM HQ, one of the biggest things God taught me was to fully rely on Him. My biggest fear coming into the internship was raising support for our post-summer mission ...

CBM National Intern – But God Can!

By CBM National intern, Andrew Willis -  Well this is it! The last blog for the internship! It's the bottom of the 9th and I'm running hard as I'm rounding 3rd base! I have two more classes to teach in December. The rest of the time is office work and stuffing about 1,500 letters. I'm hanging in there to finish out strong. Just like Hebrews 12:1 says, "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." ...
