CBM Intern – The Wrong Place at the Wrong Time
By CBM National intern, Jordan Mancari
Have you ever felt like you’re constantly in the wrong place at the wrong time?
For me, this was most of my life; I was constantly asking “What’s next? Where do I go from here?” It wasn’t until I got older that I really began to know the meaning of what I was asking. Ruth 1:16 (ESV) says, “But Ruth said, ‘Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people and your God my God.’” Ruth’s desire was mine ...
CBM National Intern – Here Come the Suds
By CBM National intern, Timmy Martens -
My best friend somehow believes I actually enjoy doing dishes. I don’t know where he got that from; maybe it’s because one of the first things I did when I got to Ponderosa Bible Camp for my rotation with CBM’s National Internship Program was to start preparing the kitchen for the summertime. Of course, that meant lots of scrubbing and elbow grease. It was fulfilling work, but I can hardly say that I enjoyed it….okay, maybe I enjoyed it a little bit.

CBM Intern – How can God Use a Guy Like Me
By CBM intern, Matt Presley -
Perhaps one of the most pressing questions on this path God has me on as a CBM National intern is how can God use a guy like me to reach youth and guide them to Him? Sometimes I wonder how I can relate, given the age gap. I don't have much experience in camp life or with kids in general. I've had more of a selfish outlook than a servant’s heart for a long time. This experience as an intern is all so new to me. I'm learning as I go. What I find awesome though, is how easy these things come to me when God presents the opportunity. He ...

By CBM National intern, Mark Martens -
Have you ever had one of those days where everything seemed to be going right? You were going about your day, the sun was shining, and life just could not seem to get any better. But then you get some news that flips your whole world upside down. It just so happens that I recently had one of those days.
It all started one Friday morning on my summer rotation as a CBM National Intern at Camp Red Arrow. I received a call that made me a little apprehensive but I quickly put it in the back of my mind. I figured everything would ...
