Who does Christ say I am?
Written by Kaytie Davis
Growing up I’ve always studied who God was. From all His attributes to what He did on earth. My foundation is strong! Nothing could stop me because my God is on my side! But, something was wrong. I didn’t know who I was, I was struggling with not knowing my identity. I tried to find it in all the wrong things, doing whatever I can to please others, serve them, being outgoing, and thinking I had to be the best in all I did. “Kaytie Grace you can never make a mistake; you have to be perfect.” The expectations I set for myself were unreachable. I would make mistakes big or small and I was broken. I thought over and ...
FROM THE VAULT: Honoring Fathers
[From the Editor] The Catholic Church has recognized the important role of fathers since at least the early 1500s, in conjunction with a feast day honoring Saint Joseph (Mary’s husband and Jesus’ earthly father.) However, Father’s Day as we know it is a relatively new holiday. Much like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day celebrations by local congregations or communities started popping up in different areas of the United States in the early 1900s, whether as a one-time or an annual event. While the first bill to recognize it as a federal holiday was introduced to Congress in the 1910s (around the same time as Mother’s Day), it was feared that ...
The Impact Parents have on Mission Minded Choices
By Jacquelyn Davis
Psalms 127:4 says, “Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth.” I remember hearing this verse growing up. I didn’t fully understand it until I was older, but I knew that it was an important verse to my parents and, today, I am glad that it was. One thing my parents well understood was that they were raising children to be sent into the world and live for Christ, not necessarily to stay nearby. Parents have an incredible impact on the lives of their children. I personally was greatly impacted by my parents. As they raised me, several things they did encouraged me towards missions. Here are ...
How I Overcame My Fears
Written by Jonathan Evans
As I’m going through my internship with Children’s Bible Ministries (CBM) there have been times when I had to face my fears. But I didn’t realize the fear I had before joining the internship. If you had asked me what I was scared of before I started, I would easily have said open waters. I know that open water doesn’t have anything to do with the ministry. But I was truly oblivious to what my true fear was till I went to a missionary conference.
A missionary conference is when the church spent a set amount of time getting feedback from the missionaries they support. During that time, the church will get ...
How God has provided for me
Written by Caitlyn Windham
Dear Future Intern (or the random person reading this),
My name is Caitlyn Windham. I’m one of the current interns that started in September for Children Bible’s Ministries. Also (fun fact) I’m part of the youngest team of interns. I pray that God can use this letter to help you on your journey.
How are you? Been busy? I would think so, seeing as I’ve been in your shoes. You get up, work all day or sit in class, which then has homework due in less than a week. By the time you have free time you’re so tired from the long day’s activities that you just wanna lounge around, be lazy, ...
