A Personal Word From Camilla Seabolt

Camilla SeaboltAfter 16 years of serving as Community Bible Study’s Executive Director, my role has come to a close. The Board of Trustees has appointed Kimm Carr as CBS’s new Executive Director, a choice I could not be happier about.

In April 1997, I stepped into the role that Lee Campbell, our precious founder, had occupied since 1975. At the Teaching Directors’ Conference in January it gave me great joy to pass the mantle of leadership to Kimm, my dear friend and co-laborer in CBS. Kimm and I have been serving in tandem since March 1.

God is Working Behind Prison Walls

I cannot believe that it has been almost a month since we started our study on Servants of God! We have had some great group discussions in our group. Even though the group is small, we tried breaking up into two groups last night and the women seemed to open up more. One of the ladies even shared her testimony and how, even though she has been in prison for almost 30 years, she has full confidence that God has her where she is supposed to be. She is passionate in her walk with God and always seeks to be a light, so that others will come to Christ. She is praying for her release, but also prays for His will to be done

In the other group, while talking about God answering Joshua’s prayer for a longer day and the sun standing still, the conversation turned to God’s power and how all that happens to us must first pass through His hands. We share with the ladies some of what we are studying in Job and the spiritual process of how good and bad things can happen. How Satan has to approach God to get permission to attack. We had a great discussion mixed in with a little laughter.

God Answers CBSers’ Prayers With Amazing Healing

Beth OlsenFor as long as I can remember, prayer had been a part of my life. But on July 29, 2011, I began a long and difficult journey that would teach me the true power of prayer.

After my customary 10 laps at a neighborhood pool, I began to feel some vertigo. I drove home and told my husband, Roy, that I might need to go to the hospital.

I vaguely recall checking in at the front desk. I remember nothing of the following 30 days.

CBS Leads to a Restored Family Relationship

CBS has changed my life. A number of years ago I was volunteering in my church’s children’s ministry. I would go in on Monday nights to help set up. There were always so many cars and people at the church on Monday nights, I wondered what was going on.

I learned that it was Community Bible Study. I had a roller coaster of emotions, but I finally put my fears aside and signed up. I’ve been a member of CBS for about seven years now, and each year I feel like a little kid in a candy store, just waiting to see what our Father will open my eyes up to!
