CMF Reach – March 11 2016 – The very latest news on 2016 REACH internships

Infuse

Plans for this summer are in full swing. We have 30 interns who will travel to 12 different fields. They will work alongside our missionaries and national partners. Their ministries this summer have the potential to make a huge impact across the globe as our interns infuse their new surroundings and new friends with the enthusiasm, compassion, hope and love that God has put into them.

This summer also has the potential to impact the lives of the interns themselves in incredible ways, but this can’t happen without the faithful prayers and support of folks like you. Please be in prayer for our interns as they prepare to leave for the field and begin their support raising process. If you would like to partner with one of our interns please go to www.cmfi.org/supportyourintern. Thank you for continuing to help transform lives and communities with the love of Christ!

Intern spotlight: Bailey Backus

Bailey is one of our Reach 2016 Interns; she will work in Ivory Coast. She is currently a student at Milligan College, studying nursing with a minor in missions. Bailey is excited about the opportunity to work in the clinic in Ivory Coast, especially the maternity ward. She is also looking forward to spending an extended length of time in another country and learning the ins and outs of ministry. She asked for prayers in support raising, safety while on the field, and comfort for families while the interns are away. She also asked for prayer that God will work through each intern to help show people the redemptive grace of Jesus Christ.

This is what Bailey had to say about being a Reach intern:

CMF on the road

What we’re reading

Are you looking for a new book to read? We have a recommendation for you! In the book “Overrated” Eugene Cho dives into some tough questions and discusses them with truth and love. He asks: “Are we more in love with the idea of changing the world, than actually changing the world?” Cho challenges us to live out our convictions, test them against the calling God has placed on our lives (to make disciples!), and encourages us to act. Our mobilization team read this book together, and now all of our Reach 2016 interns are reading it. We encourage you to join them!

“Ideas, dreams, and visions don’t change the world. Rather, it’s people — like you and me, who faithfully, prayerfully, and tenaciously live out these ideas, dreams, and visions — who change the world.” – Eugene Cho, “Overrated”
