CBM Interns-Being the Captain

By CBM intern, Scott Carpenter - Here at CBM's New Life Camp in Raleigh NC, they have two different sports programs going on right now. One is their Storm Program, which is like high school sports for home-schooled kids. They run teams for both middle school and high school. The second program they are running at this time is their Next Level Basketball. This program is a league basketball for boys and girls, six to eighteen years old. Jerri and I have enjoyed watching the kids play basketball and soccer during our rotation this last month.   One of the many jobs we do during the games is being the field captains for ...

Five Things Teaching Has Taught Me About the Teacher

CBM National intern, Paul Daly -  These past few weeks, I have been under the tutelage of Mrs. Judy Virgili, of CBM’s Cornerstone Ministry Center in southwest PA.  Judy is a pioneer in Released Time and a fantastic teacher to children. She has taught me many things concerning how to communicate the gospel clearly to children, how to prepare a lesson, how to ask them questions, and how to catch and keep their attention. Now that I have had the opportunity to have students of my own, I can reflect back on what I was like as a student of their age. It was difficult for me to route my train of thought to match my teacher’s. Nine times ...

The Ways that Camp Life is like Family

By CBM National intern, Timmy Martens - Over the course of the last eight months, while traveling for my internship with Children’s Bible Ministries, I have had the privilege of building relationships with people from all over the United States.

My time at Cornerstone Ministry Center in Southwestern Pennsylvania has been no exception.  I recently connected with someone at one of the events. We ...

Persevere: Keep Holding On

By CBM National intern, Devyn Polk - Have you ever felt like giving up? Like it's not worth it? That no matter how hard you try, something goes wrong? I sure have! Here's a little bit of my story... I was bullied a lot. You know, things like being called fat and ugly. It was really hard for me. I tried starving myself and had the desire to hurt myself in other ways. By the age of 17, after holding so much in, I felt like I needed to let it out somehow. So what did I do? I tried harming myself externally to try and relieve the internal pain. But the “relief” I felt was temporary. God quickly showed me that wasn’t the path He wanted ...

Remembering His Works

By CBM National intern, Mark Martens - Throughout the Psalms, the writers are constantly remembering and praising God for the things  He has done. Psalms 105:1-2 is one great example of this.  “Give thanks to Yahweh, call on His name; proclaim His deeds among the peoples. Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; tell about all His wonderful works.”(HCSB) When I read over these verses while doing my devotions, I started looking back over the past couple of years. It was really awesome to remember how God worked in and blessed me. In fact, it was so encouraging that I would like to share some of these experiences with you. This past summer, ...
