CBM National Intern – Count It All Joy

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.

CBM Full-time Ministry – Full Abandon

By CBM National Intern, Sarah Pafford This is for all my fellow brothers and sister that are considering full time ministry. Let’s be honest, it is probably the most spiritually rewarding thing you can do with your life, but it comes at a great price and is exhausting.

Finding a Calling – Horse Ministry

By CBM National Intern, Ryanne It’s amazing to think about how God brought me to this place. A year ago I was pursuing working in a church in a different state; camp ministry wasn’t even close to being on my radar. God used one phone call to change my whole life. Not only has He given me a new direction, but He has also given me a clear calling and vision for what He is asking me to do --  horse ministry. I am not a visionary. I have always been the one who looks at someone else’s big picture and sees all of the little details that have to happen to make that ...
