CBM Intern – Why I Do What I Do
CBM National intern, Timmy Martens -
This is what my typical day looks like as a CBM National Intern on rotation at Ponderosa Bible Camp:
I usually wake up pretty early, and me being a night owl does not make this easy! Regardless, I force myself to my feet sometime before6:50am and try to beat the TEAM (Teens Excited About Ministry) members to the dining hall. If you don't know, TEAM members play a huge part in Ponderosa Bible Camp's Ministry.
They do all the grunt work, like kitchen cleaning, dishwashing, and maintaining the grounds. This summer, ...
Where Two or More are Gathered
By CBM National intern, Stephanie Schwan -
Hello friends, family, supporters, and online strangers! It's my first blog post as a CBM intern! Hip, hip, huzzah! I can't believe that as I write this we've been in the internship two and a half months already.

For me, as our time at CBM Headquarters (at Tuckaleechee Retreat Center in Townsend, TN) is coming to an end, I have found myself thinking about the past few months here and all the blessings that Lord has given me.
Blessed with Opportunities
When I was first accepted to CBM’s National internship, I knew that I was going to be busy. I just did not realize how busy it was going to get sometimes. We were ...
Centered Around Christ- CBM’s three C’s
Lately people want to know more about Children’s Bible Ministries. Our main focus is to help children learn about Jesus Christ. We do this in a number of ways. We call this the three C’s, Classes, Correspondence lessons and Camps.
One of the 3 C’s is Classroom: This is known a “released time.” Students are pulled from an elective (so that no learning can be taken away from core subjects) and are taught the Bible truths. This can be done through a Bible felt board with characters that give kids a visual as to what happened in the Bible. Some ...
