CBM intern – Training, Toughening, and Teaching

By CBM National intern, Scott and Jerri Carpenter -  We are serving as CBM National Interns at CBM of Southwest Pennsylvania (SWPA). This rotation has been very different from our other rotations, mostly because it is a summer rotation. One other big difference is that this is not North or South Carolina! It has been such a fun learning process about different places in our own country. We both have been given very big jobs for this summer. Scott has been serving as Program Director, running the programs for camps. Jerri has been serving as TEAM Ministry ...

Fellowshipping and Worshipping Servants

By CBM National interns, Scott and Jerri Carpenter -  In the little amount of time we have been on rotation as CBM National Interns at Cornerstone Ministry Center in Southwest PA, we have definitely experienced fellowship and worship. Our first week here we had a work team. The best part about this team was simply that it was truly a team. No one was given a task by themselves. The goal was not only to complete projects and tasks around camp, but to fellowship and worship together through each of these projects and tasks. We worked together, ate together, planned ...

New Adventures and Beautiful Faces

By CBM National interns, Scott and Jerri Carpenter - As CBM National interns, we get to travel a lot. I think we all love that we are getting to go to a new place, but not all of us love the driving portion of it. No matter what we are doing, even driving, we do it all for the glory of God! During these long trips (or even sometimes the short ones) conversations are had, thoughts are processed, and/or prayers are belted out. With us (Scott and Jerri), we get to do all of these things together! Why not take advantage of this awesome time God has given us? ...

How to Get Into the Routine of Things by Getting Out of the Routine of Things

By CBM National interns, Jerri and Scott Carpenter - Reading your Bible is wonderful and awesome, but somehow, most of us are still guilty of feeling like we HAVE TO do it instead of really WANTING to do it. The same thing goes for our prayer life too, at times. We pray for our meals, pray for God to use us, and pray for a good day, which are all great things to pray, but we should not be praying just to check something off our to-do list. Prayer is so very important and deepens our relationship with our beautiful God! So how do we get into the routine of things ...
