An Introduction to Your Neighbor
By CBM National intern, Paul Daly -
“Who is my neighbor?” the lawyer tested Jesus. In his mind, neighbors were those that were of his nationality and religion. His neighbor was the man that was a Jew, like him. The lawyer’s intention behind the question was flawed. Nevertheless, Jesus’ intention behind His answer was different, and His response teaches us a profound lesson about the love that He expects from us.
Rather than answering, “A Jew should love a Jew,” like I believe the lawyer wanted to hear, Jesus tells him a story. Jesus never ...
7.4 Billion Reasons Why You Should Do Missions and the One Reason Why You Aren’t
By CBM National intern, Paul Daly
Since the beginning of the New Year, I have been working in Raleigh, NC helping out in New Life Camp’s outreach ministry to Cedar Point, an apartment complex that houses refugees. They have a program there called Homework Help. Most of my work here in January and February will be with that program, helping refugee children with their homework, which is a real need in that community since many of the kids there are thrust into school based on their age and not their education.

Reflections From a CBM Intern – What is Love?
By CBM National Intern, Sarah Pafford
“Jesus loves you.” This is a statement most of us have grown up hearing even if we weren’t raised in a Christian home. Jesus has always been known to love the unlovable and to love unconditionally.

What is love?
This is a question I’ve been mulling over this ...
GAP Stands for- God Answers Prayers!
We can look to the future with hope, because we know that God never leaves us or forsakes us.
This is one of my favorite acronyms to pull out in a pinch. It is a simple reminder that my Heavenly Father is always a pray away, He is waiting to hear from me in the times when I need Him the most.
But what about the times when everything is not turned up side down like a roller coaster loop. Do we forget Him and go on our merry way. Or do we invite Him to be with us always. Do we have an awareness that He is there in our lives? Is the line of communication open so we ...
Will You Tell Me a Secret?
This is a story from Liane Lindauer, a missionary forChildren’s Bible Ministries, Camp Ta-Pa-Win-Go.
“ It started with one of my nieces. She came to Day Camp, and Friday was a hard day. The sun shone for a little while, but the rain also poured down most of the day. She was a little upset, so while she was standing in line with the rest of the yellow team, I told her that I wanted to tell her a secret. Thinking it might cheer her up to hear the words, I bent down and whispered in her ear. “ I love you.”
The little girl standing in front of her immedia...
