CBM Intern – God-given Opportunities

By CBM National intern, Joe Kirkland - How much would you be willing to spend to be able to talk to someone about God? I had an opportunity like that once. All I had to do was give someone some gas, or even pump it for them while talking about God, but I did not. I had a good 5 minutes of being able to talk to them about their father in the hospital and where he might go when he dies, but I never got to fully explain the gospel to them before they left. I regret not using that God-given opportunity to the fullest, but I know God will use it to His glory somehow. God gives us opportunities like that sometimes, ones that we don’t use to the ...

CBM Intern – You are Where He Wants You to Be

By CBM National intern, Jake Taylor -  Since beginning my first rotation at Camp Grace in North Carolina as a CBM National intern, I have done things I expected and didn't expect to do. I found I really enjoyed each of them. Now if you haven't met me, my personality is very “on the go,” get the job done as quickly, and as perfectly as possible. The little things tend to stick out to me; if I see a problem, I have to take care of it. So getting put in a situation where I have to slow down and be the arms and legs for someone else is challenging. I thank God for sending me to Grace. I have to learn to be more patient;  waiting and ...

CBM Intern – 3 Ways to Stay Focused on Christ

By CBM National intern,  Priscilla Depew - Hello everyone! My name is Priscilla Depew. I started the CBM National Internship back in September, and one of the things I've had to learn while being here has been focus. Normally, my focus jumps from object to object, never staying in one place. Before I started the internship, I would zone out during conversations, because I would get distracted. I still do sometimes, but it's gotten better. The reason it's gotten better is because I've prayed about it and figured out three ways to stay focused on Christ. 1. Prayer Pray all the time. Whenever your mind begins to think on whatever is ...

CBM Intern – A Servant’s Heart

By CBM National intern,  Cati Watts - Coming into CBM’s National Internship, I knew I would learn a lot but I had no idea how much. One of the first things I learned is that in ministry you do a lot of cleaning. As a National Intern, I am learning to clean just about everything! Dishes, toilets, floors, office spaces, baseboards; you name it, I have cleaned it! I never realized how important even just getting a table wiped off can be to the ministry. When I was growing up and would complain about cleaning, my mom would often quote Colossians 3:23-24, which says, “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing ...

CBM Intern – It Doesn’t End Here

By CBM National intern, Jordan Mancari -  It's hard for me to believe, that by the time you read this I will have completed the CBM National Internship. It's been a great journey and God has blessed me in so many various ways. In this blog, I'm going to briefly share some of the things God has taught me at my different rotations. Months at CBM HQ During my 4 months of training at CBM HQ, one of the biggest things God taught me was to fully rely on Him. My biggest fear coming into the internship was raising support for our post-summer mission trip to Moldova. However, God gave me an overwhelming peace, and told me to put ...
