CBM Intern – Serve Others for the Glory of God

By CBM National intern, Capree Simons These past two months at CBM’s Camp Victory, God has used a book I was assigned by the Camp Director, as well as the Released Time classes I have helped with, to teach me many valuable lessons including compassion, generosity, and humility. All of these lessons can and should be applied to our daily routines, especially as believers, as we are called to live a life like Christ. As children, we are taught by our parents, our teachers, and our churches that we should always be nice to others and treat them with kindness and respect. As we grow up, it is revealed to us through experience that the things we were ...

Every Day is the Same Good Lesson

By CBM National Intern: Paul Daly Hello! My name is Paul Daly, and as of September 2015, I’ve been a National Intern with Children’s Bible Ministries. So far, I’ve written emails, made phone calls, taught Bible classes, taken Bible classes, gone off zip-lines, worked at my first-ever auction, read lots of assigned books, shared my testimony in front of large groups, worked at camp retreats, folded event programs, learned how to better communicate, cleaned the same three cabins over and over, and had an ample amount of fun times with my fellow interns. In short, I’ve experienced a lot, and I’ve learned even more. Coming into this ...

CBM Intern: 8 Years of Perfect Planning

By CBM National Intern: Timmy Martens In Jeremiah 29:11, God tells Jeremiah that He has plans for him. Good plans. Though I know this verse is a promise to Jeremiah, I know that God has plans for my life, too. Ephesians 2:10 tells me that I am His workmanship, created to do good works that He has prepared beforehand. I often wonder what His plan would look like if written down on paper. Unfortunately, such a document doesn’t exist, but I can clearly see what God has already done. 1994 That was the year I was born. In St. Petersburg, Florida is where I spent my childhood. I was homeschooled, and I enjoyed an amazing home life with parents ...

Reflections From a CBM Intern – What is Love?

By CBM National Intern, Sarah Pafford “Jesus loves you.” This is a statement most of us have grown up hearing even if we weren’t raised in a Christian home. Jesus has always been known to love the unlovable and to love unconditionally. But do we truly live as such? Or do we live a daily defeated life where we feel we need to constantly earn His love for us? (Which we never could.) And what is love anyway? Is it the affection we show to a dear friend, family member, or significant other? What is love? This is a question I’ve been mulling over this week…really getting down to the fact of the matter, past the world's view, not to ...

CBM Full-time Ministry – Full Abandon

By CBM National Intern, Sarah Pafford This is for all my fellow brothers and sister that are considering full time ministry. Let’s be honest, it is probably the most spiritually rewarding thing you can do with your life, but it comes at a great price and is exhausting. You pour yourself out on a continual basis so you may serve the Lord to the fullest of your capacity. Of course, our Heavenly Father deserves our all.  It’s the least we can give, and it’s so completely worth any sacrifice we may have to make to follow Him. Just look at the disciples, especially Simon Peter, who has always been my favorite. Peter encountered Jesus while he was ...
