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. You pour yourself out on a continual basis so you may serve the Lord to the fullest of your capacity. Of course, our Heavenly Father deserves our all. It’s the least we can give, and it’s so completely worth any sacrifice we may have to make to follow Him. Just look at the disciples, especially ...
CBM Intern – Victory at Last
By CBM National Intern, David Davison
In my six summers of camp ministry, cooking through the ranks of the kitchen, I have been told countless times that Camp Victory in Samson, Alabama (https://www.campvictoryal.org/) would be a wonderful place for me to grow in my organizational skills, and that it would also be a fantastic opportunity for me to work with Barb Shearer, who has been cooking there for over 30 years!
For my second rotation with the CBM National Internship, I was assigned to Camp Victory for the months of March and April, for a total of eight ...
CBM Interns – Adventures at Amy’s
By CBM National Intern, Ada
Hello friends and blog readers!
We are having a rainy week in southern Alabama at Camp Victory (https://www.campvictoryal.org/) where I am interning for two months. We are right in the middle of spring cleaning every nook and cranny to be ready for summer camp, which is just seven weeks away!! It's been awesome to see everyone pitch in and help get the cleaning done. It is an overwhelming task, but with all the staff and some kind volunteers, we are getting it done!

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 ...
Children’s Bible Ministries – And the Lord was with Joseph
By CBM National Intern, David
After the four months of training and equipping time spent at CBM headquarters, I was stationed at Camp Ta-pa-win-go in Watauga, TN for the first of three CBM area ministries rotations. My schedule there would allowed me to work with nearly every full-time missionary on staff:
-I worked a few days with Aaron, who is over maintenance, helping get wood for the wood stoves that most of the buildings use for heat in the winter. I also helped dig a trench for a large drain pipe.
-I worked with Kathy, the Director’s wife, while we ...
