Faith over Fear
Written by Staciajohna Randle, Team #12
Fear is something that I struggled with a lot in my life. Fear will cause us to be blind and act out instead of thinking. The word fear in Greek is phobos meaning dread and terror. I wrote a whole page about faith over fear, and I felt great about it. But then George Floyd died on May 26, 2020, and little did I know that the whole society was going to change. All the confidence I had about having faith and no fear was suddenly all thrown out the window. The riots began and my faith was put to a test and I failed it. I was so ...
FROM THE VAULT: Unity
Written by Gracie Kinsey
If you’ve followed along with the CBM Internship Program for any amount of time, you’ve probably heard one of us mention the “Core Values” of the Internship. If you’re not one of our interns and can’t recite them by heart, I will list the five core values here for you: Humility, Servant Leadership, Flexibility, Excellence and Unity. Today, we’re going to primarily focus on Unity.

My Mission Trip Pack List
By Tawny Austin
Hey, I'm Tawny! I've been a missionary with CBM since Fall of 2017 and have served in Honduras full-time since October 2019. Surprisingly, before moving to Honduras, I had only been on one mission trip, and it wasn't even a "typical" mission trip.

We moved to Honduras a few years later and, after a few teams came to work with us, was the first time I saw what the "typical mission trip" ...
FROM THE VAULT: The Meaning of Easter
Compiled from a newsletter written by Scott Brinson
Opening written by CBM Intern Jaelynn Woullard
Looking through different files about CBM history, I stumbled upon this story from one of the newsletters by Scott Brinson, the director of CBM of the Great Southwest. As I read about a woman who loved the Lord and wanted to share with others what Easter is all about, it reminded me that God calls us to tell others about Him and what He has done for us. We always remember the true meaning of Easter, as Christians, but I think we often forget that there ...
A Study on Leadership
Written by Erin Miller
I have been doing a two-week study on leadership and I remember things better when I write them down. This is what I can tell you: I have been closely observing the leaders that have been placed above me; watching what they do with the people they are placed in charge of and how they respond to the different things they are faced with daily. This is one of the best times to be doing this study, because it is during the pandemic known as the COVID-19. Watching all the different leaders around the world, not only the people whom I see ...
