CBM Camping- The Final C in Three C’s

To recap, CBM desires to reach elementary boys and girls and then minister to them through adulthood. We accomplish our goals by means of classes, correspondence lessons and camps. Our camps are the next opportunity that we have to minister to children. It’s a time for kids to have fun. Each camp has its own set of activities such as, horseback riding, archery, water sports, zip lines, all the things that kids love to do. That is the secret; camp is the place that kids want to go.

YOU! Selfish thoughts like these show others that you are only thinking about you can get and not ...

One of the stops took us to Canonsburg, PA, to a Chocolate Factory and Ice Cream Parlour called Sarris. WOW! I never saw so much chocolate all in one place.

Bible Lessons For Children – Incorporate Current Technology to Keep Lessons Relevant

But, unless you have a toddler, preschool, or kindergarten class, I recommend you take a look at some other methods. Now, before someone gets upset... if overheads, felt boards and chalkboards are all you have, by all means use them! God can and will bring life to these tools. His word is alive and powerful! Believe me, I worked for years with little to no budget in kids ministry. Work technology in as you can. Use what you have to the fullest. But, as ...
