Teamwork -Two are Better than One, Three are even Better

By CBM National intern, -  Mark Martens John Donne states in one of his poems, “No man is an island, Entire of itself, Every man is a piece of the continent, A part of the main.”   If there is one thing this rotation has reminded me of, it’s the importance of teamwork. Now don’t get me wrong, I have known about teamwork for a while, but God has made its importance rather evident to me recently. In the past, there have been times I have tried to do things on my own, but every time I have done this, it usually has not ended well for me. While on my rotation at Camp Grace as a CBM National Intern, I was given the ...

Taking Ownership of your Gift

By CBM National intern, Matt Presley -    So much has happened here in the CBM National Internship since my last blog, leaving me so much I could talk about, from the classes we've taken, books we've read, and projects we’ve accomplished, to the youth group lessons and activities, volunteer work weeks, mission conferences, and camp visits. But what I'm led to talk about is "Ownership." That is, ownership of the life that God has given me. And, it's not until one takes ownership of that life that he can truly live it, take responsibility for it, and grow in it. I arrived at CBM National Headquarters having been given a new life and ...

CBM Intern-A Step Of Faith

By CBM National Intern, Andrew Willis -  Applying for this internship with CBM National was a big step for me in faith and trusting God. I was never one for joining a program without knowing the outcome or whether or not I would be financially stable or not. Just in the past three months, God has already taught me to rely on Him more, and He always provides for me in so many ways. I have become more confident in public speaking, teaching, studying, and sharing my testimony. Every time I get nervous of an opportunity to speak in front of a crowd or just feel overwhelmed with all I have on my plate, I remember Isaiah 41:10 "Fear thou not; for I ...

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, ...

Stay Present – An Intern’s Reflection

By CBM National intern, Mark Martens - 86,400 seconds. 1,440 minutes. 24 hours. Each of these measurements shows how much time is in a day and we all know that time is very important to each and every one of us. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 says, “There is an occasion for everything, and a time for every activity under heaven: a time to give birth and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot; a time to kill and a time to heal; a time to tear down and a time to build; a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance; a time to throw stones and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace and a time to avoid embrac...
