CBM Intern – Looking Back, Looking Forward

By CBM National intern,  Stephanie Schwan - Well, here we are. We made it, folks. The year is almost over and Christmas and the New Year is upon us! Where did the time go? For many of us, myself included, it flew by. 2016 has been a whirlwind of controversy, change, loss, and upheaval worldwide, but also of learning, growth, building, and hope.  We know who is in control of it all, whether it feels like a time of unprecedented hope with a bright future gleaming ahead, or the brink of certain disaster with doom and despair looming on every side. Whether things seem worse than ever or better than ever, we know the One who reigns forever. We ...

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 ...

CBM National Intern – But God Can!

By CBM National intern, Andrew Willis -  Well this is it! The last blog for the internship! It's the bottom of the 9th and I'm running hard as I'm rounding 3rd base! I have two more classes to teach in December. The rest of the time is office work and stuffing about 1,500 letters. I'm hanging in there to finish out strong. Just like Hebrews 12:1 says, "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." I can't take it easy just because this CBM National internship is coming to a ...

CBM Intern – His Guiding Hand

By CBM National intern, Jacob Taylor -  Hi, my name is Jacob Taylor and I would like to tell you how I got involved with Children's Bible Ministries(CBM) and what God has been teaching me these last few months during my time at the National office at the Tuckaleechee Retreat Center in Townsend, TN. I guess starting at the beginning would be a good spot, right? I was born in a town called Hanford, California, and throughout my life so far, I’ve lived as far south as Miami and as far north as Anchorage, Alaska. Back in 2011, I moved to Rainsville, AL. At the time, I looked at it like that was a bad thing; after all, a sixteen-year-old ...

CBM intern – Being a Humble Servant

By CBM National intern, -  Jordan Mancari If there were one major thing I'd say I've learned over the past 10 months of the CBM (Children's Bible Ministries) Internship, it's being a humble servant. But what exactly does it mean or look like to be a humble servant? Being a humble servant means a lot more than just saying and doing what you’re told or supposed to do. It means humbling and submitting yourself to doing the work of the Lord for nothing in return, whatever it that work may be. Whether it's mowing grass, pressure washing, or helping in the kitchen, etc. I would also take it a step further and say it means not complaining ...
