Preach, Pray, or Die
By Maria Van Der Decker I still remember one of the first times I brought Jotham home (as my fiancé at the time). We were partway through missionary training, and we visited my home church. It was our Christmas service, which we call Wassail night, and my pastor was getting to know Jotham, giving him a hard time, and was soon to start premarital counseling with us.

Hey everyone! It’s hard to believe that I am already over halfway done with the CBM Internship. Time has flown by so fast. It has been great seeing God at work in my life and the lives of the children we work with. I have had so many opportunities to learn many aspects of camp life. It has been an amazing experience. I just hate that I am nearing the end of it already. The past two months I have had the opportunity to work at Camp Victory in Samson, AL. It has been an amazing time working with the staff there.
