Sarah Webber

My name is Sarah Webber. I completed Overseer at CMBTC in September if '24. God told me it was time to go and be the light he called me to be in my community.

A little back story... I grew up in foster care with years of abuse. I was forced to go to church and never really had a relationship with God. I ended up in a toxic marriage and started using drugs. I see now God using this to get me to CMBTC so I could have a relationship with Him. 

In the mission God used the staff to help me overcome many battles (my main one being anxiety). A number of teachers and staff told me to stay plugged into a church and be around good people. This helped alot but the littlest comprise... I stated reading my Bible less and less. I don't want this to be disheartening but raw and honest. When they say don't comprise", "keep a schedule"... man ain't that the truth! Anxiety crept in again.

Don't worry God used that too. As soon as I noticed it I ran right back to Him. The thing is in CMBTC we all learn 1Peter 5:6-9 at some point or another. "Be vigilent"... well I got swept up in a fast pace world. But heres the thing: my struggle is growing me closer to God. 1Peter 5:10 says "after you have suffered a little while, the God of grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen and establish you." I have a deeper relationship with God than I ever had before. I am and will forever be greatful to all my family at the mission and the teachers who poured into me. I have a bright future because of their obedience to God! I still live by these two scriptures: Galations 6:9 "Let us not grow weary in doing good for in due time you will reap a harvest if you do not give up." and James 1:12 " Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial, because having stood that test that person will recieve the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him." I cannot wait to see what the Lord hold in store for me, but only in his timing right?!
