 Meet
the Storyteller and Author of "Aunt Carolyn's"
Collection
Mrs. Carolyn Hobbs, known and loved by children as
" Aunt
Carolyn,"
is director and storyteller for
The Children's Bible Club,
a weekly broadcast heard coast to coast and abroad. Her unique
ability makes Gospel stories come alive and appeal to young and old
alike. As speaker for Christian teacher's workshops, she helps and
challenges God's people to reach boys and girls for the Lord Jesus
Christ.
Now that you’ve read the
official introduction, let
"Aunt
Carolyn"
tell you about
The Children's Bible Club and
how that came to be!
What a
joyful place for kids! But where did it all come from? In 1954, when I
was a little younger than I am now,
The Children's Bible Club
began as a half-hour "live" radio broadcast with "live" children from
Sunday School and neighborhood Bible classes. My husband, Pastor Dayton
Hobbs, helped round the children up in an old van to take them to the
station, where he led the children's singing, and conducted Scripture
memory and quiz time while "Aunt
Carolyn"
played the piano and then told the Bible story.

The Lord
blessed that simple outreach to boys and girls in the area, but after a
time, the broadcast was changed to fifteen minutes, taped, duplicated, and
sent to a growing number of radio stations to use in their children's
programming schedules. Interest and response has grown until
The Children's Bible Club
is now heard on forty-four stations in the United States, on several
Atlantic and Pacific Islands, and world-wide on short wave, satellite, and
the internet at
FBNRadio. Join us for the broadcast. To see the listener's log, click on

And WHERE did this storyteller lady come from??? Outer
space? Never Never Land? "The hole that the Wunks has got?" NO! NO! NO!
"Aunt
Carolyn"
(Carolyn McVay Hobbs) grew up on a wheat and cattle farm near Sterling,
Kansas, where there was plenty of work to do and space to ride horses or
play. I was blessed with a Christian home with parents who wanted me
to know the Lord and live for Him. I trusted Christ as my Savior when I was
eight years old. Farm life gave me many experiences and lessons, some
wonderful, some tough, but all meant by God for good. God allowed me to go
to Bob Jones
University where I received further training for His service
and met my husband, Dr. Dayton Hobbs, who founded
Grace Bible Church in 1951
in Milton, Florida, and pastored that same church for fifty plus years.
"Aunt
Carolyn"
helped in the ministry in music, in the Christian School, and whatever way
she could. Her heart's desire is to be true to the Lord Jesus Christ and to
see boys and girls and grown-ups trust Christ and serve Him.
