They Reach the World from Their Living Room

CBN Partners Mike and Lou Kershner call Virginia home, and have been giving to CBN for nearly 20 years. at first, it wasn’t exactly Mike’s idea:

“Uh, the first time I gave to CBN was because my wife told me to. Since then, I've become a believer.” Mike recalls. 

“…they are committed to the Great Commission. We want to help CBN realize their mission.”

“The whole point is to bring people into the kingdom. That's what we want to do. That's what CBN does.” His wife, Lou continues. 

A retired military officer, over the years Mike gained greater understanding about trusting God with the couple’s finances, as he learned to tithe.

“I was, I was a guy who, uh, would go to church and throw a 20 in the plate and feel good about myself. And then somebody introduced me to tithing. And uh, and that was kind of an alien concept to me. And then I read the Bible. I read, uh, I read about tithing and about what it does It didn't take long after we started tithing before we realized that you can't outgive God.” Mike notes. 

Lou appreciates CBN’s heart for bringing hope to children through animation.

“We love Superbook and we love the idea of Superbook because of what it does. It reaches the children. It’s just important that they hear these stories that they learn about the Bible, they learn about these aren't characters. These were real people, and there's application to their own young lives. And I must say that you're never too young or too old for Superbook to have an impact on you” Lou adds. 

Mike likes to point to other ways CBN Partners make a difference around the world.

“Operation Blessing is great because they can go where we cannot and bless people in ways that we cannot. And Orphan's Promise is just a fabulous, but I really admire the CBN news crew. Uh, they do just a fantastic job and they have really impacted our life, because we know that they're a source of truth.” Mike acknowledges. 

the Kershner’s are grateful they trusted God with their finances and encourage others to do the same.

“Everything we have comes from God. He has given us everything we have And that's one of the ways you honor him is by giving to CBN. And it's a form of worship.” Mike notes.” Mike notes gratefully. 

“CBN is in the soul business just like the Lord is. And they're out there giving the love of God and giving the love of Christ to people who really need love.”
