CBM–People Who Care Others

  Many times people ask “what isChildren’s Bible Ministries all about?” Simply, it is teaching children about the Word of God. But, there is more to this statement. Behind it are the people who make it happen. These are the workers, the hands of God,  who offer their lives to Him. So often these people go about doing what has to be done and that is just that.  But what if these people didn’t listen as God worked on their hearts, then nothing would happen. Or they chose not to respond? Then what would happen?  Lives would not be changed.  Hearts ...
