Children's Bible Ministries 

OUR HISTORY

In 1934, Mr. Walter Jensen, a graduate of Moody Bible Institute, founded in Florida, Children's Bible Mission in response to his burden to reach boys and girls with the Gospel. His method was to go into the public schools and teach God's Word, motivating the children to memorize Scripture by offering as an incentive the opportunity to attend a Bible camp. That first year 47 children earned this privilege and 15 accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior. The work of Children's Bible Ministries, as it later became known, quickly spread from Florida to Pennsylvania to Oklahoma, reaching thousands of public school boys and girls.

OUR VISION

This same objective has remained through the years as CBM continues to reach boys and girls with public school Released Time Programs.  But our ministry has expanded to meet the needs of such groups as college and career adults, single parents, and home-schoolers.  We pray that God will open many more doors so that our influence will expand. We want to work with local churches in winning people to Christ, discipling them and equipping them to reach and disciple others.

Win A Child...Win A Life!

Character Building Materials

As the National Director of CBM Ministries, it is my privilege in highly recommending Character Building Materials to you for your consideration.  CBM Ministries, formerly Children’s Bible Mission, has  been working with public school students since 1935.

This five year curriculum is designed primarily for weekly or monthly Released Time classes or for after-school Bible Clubs.  Each year’s material has 6 units and each unit has three lessons with the fourth lesson serving as a review of the last three lessons.  Each lesson has one key memory verse plus two bonus verses.  God has promised to bless His Word as we study, meditate and memorize it.  The lessons are designed with far more material then needed for a 20 minute class.  May we encourage you to read the Scripture, then read the lesson and then highlight what God is impressing on your heart to present to the boys and girls.  On your second reading concentrate on what you want to stress to the students.  As the teacher teaches we want them to teach out of the overflow of what they have learned.  This material is designed for both the Bible college student as well as the average layman.

The Bible story, songs, memory verses, illustrations, mailbox lessons, devotional sheet and review games have all been selected to reinforce the character trait for that lesson.  The Time Line will help students see where in history each story took place and will impress on them the truth of the Scriptures. 

It is our desire that God will use this material to help teachers assist the local church and families to build godly character in the lives of boys and girls.  We in CBM seek to win a child that we might win a life.
