CBM National intern – Listen and Obey
By CBM National intern, Jordan Mancari -
My summer rotation as a CBM National Intern was at CBM’s Camp Grace in Fairmont, NC, where I served as their media guy. When I first heard this would be my summer role, I kind of laughed and said, “Ok God, you took me out of college where I was doing digital media to come into ministry, and now you have me doing media again.” Of course, I asked Him why. Why are You asking me to do something again that I dislike doing? To me it just did not make any sense. The more I prayed, the more God kept showing me ...
CBM National Intern – Finding the Balance
By CBM National intern, Matt Presley - Finding the Balance
For years I tipped the scales of my life in favor of feeding the flesh. Then for almost 2 years I was placed in a position where everything was designed to feed the spirit. But when this time came to an end, I realized I was on the path of who I was meant to be as a child of God.

We both have been given very big jobs for this summer. Scott has been serving as Program Director, running the programs for camps. Jerri has been serving as TEAM Ministry ...

CBM Intern – Why I Do What I Do
CBM National intern, Timmy Martens -
This is what my typical day looks like as a CBM National Intern on rotation at Ponderosa Bible Camp:
I usually wake up pretty early, and me being a night owl does not make this easy! Regardless, I force myself to my feet sometime before6:50am and try to beat the TEAM (Teens Excited About Ministry) members to the dining hall. If you don't know, TEAM members play a huge part in Ponderosa Bible Camp's Ministry.
They do all the grunt work, like kitchen cleaning, dishwashing, and maintaining the grounds. This summer, ...
