Banquet tickets are still available for Thursday April 21st, 6pm. Just visit www.thechannel.org/banquet to purchase yours. $35 per person. Each table seats 6 people so bring your friends along.

We will have live music from children here in Hampton Roads, CBC kids presenting a special dance video, delicious food with a Brazilian twist, and an exciting silent auction.

Our goal is to have a great time together celebrating all that God has done, and to raise funds for the ministry for the coming year.

There will also  be a matching fund for gifts. If you are unable to attend but would still like to make an offering, your gift will be matched. Please be sure to mark it “banquet.”

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Our students continue to show tremendous resilience despite ongoing disruption to their lives.  At this time of the year, a typical morning involves walking to school in a torrential downpour. With no sidewalk they negotiate puddles of mud and sewage, sometimes up to their knees. In addition to environmental hazards, movements are also limited by the activity of gangs restricting access to alleyways.

The other day I went out to chat with students at recess. As I got closer to one group playing on the playground I was shocked by the discussion I heard. While climbing up and down the ladders and ropes, they were casually sharing about who they knew in the community who had been injured or killed by gunfire.

Of course it is terrifying to hear such young children talking this way. It makes me realize just how important it is that these 7, 8 & 9 year old’s have somewhere they feel safe.

How thankful we can be that the evil and unrest so many children in the world are experiencing right now does not have to dictate their future or be their master. Romans 6:11 reminds us that we are alive to God in Jesus Christ. It is by grace that we are able to offer safety, hope and salvation to these children.

Quality education and training for children living in poverty in the slums of Brazil.

Whether you live in VA or afar, there are so many ways you can participate and join us for our 2022 Fundraising Banquet on April 21 at 6:00pm. In the last two years, children in Brazil have not only had their lives and education disrupted during the pandemic, but also continue to be besieged by fear and violence. On a daily basis they experience hunger. They doubt that their future might hold anything positive or worth dreaming about.  This Banquet is an opportunity to celebrate what God has done in the past two years through CBC, but also to look to the future and raise funds for the ministry for the coming year.   Click on each link below to learn more:   Purchase Tickets $35 Per Person   Purchase a Digital Ad for your Business    Sponsor an Item from Brazil for our Silent Auction   Donate a Service or Item to our Silent Auction   Volunteer to Serve at the Banquet Feel free to share the Banquet link below on social media, and/or text your friends to join you.
