Mission Team
They flew from Norfolk, VA, to Chicago, on to Sao Paulo, and then took a three-hour flight back up north to Fortaleza to become our very first overseas mission team since the complications of the pandemic. We are so grateful to the group from City Life Church in Virginia, who have just spent a wonderful week of ministry and fellowship with us.
The theme for our time together was ‘Prepare ‘The Way of The Lord.’ The mission team expertly ran four workshops with our students exploring the meaning of spiritual preparation from Isaiah 40. Through rhythm, dance, the making of vision boards, and electrical circuits, the children were inspired and learned new skills.
On Friday 27th September we celebrated together at a special chapel service. Next month we will share the testimonies of some of the team members. If you live in Virginia, you can also hear directly from the team at our Grounded Coffee Fundraiser.
Schedule your mission trip
When you travel to CBC you have the opportunity to learn new skills, while sharing your own talents with us! Every experience will look a little different. Our goal is to create a unique experience that speaks to the gifts/skills of your group.
We place value in community and teamwork by offering the opportunity to bring teams of up to 18 people. We recommend trips 7-14 days in length to allow the team to adjust to the new environment and culture, so they can fully embrace their experience.
Generally, an experience will include the following:
- The opportunity to get to know the daily life of the project
- A practical work project
- Teaching opportunities
- Games and activities with the CBC students
- Meet the teachers – experience new language and culture
- Visit to a local church
- The opportunity for spiritual growth – worship, prayer, biblical studies, and daily devotionals.
- Team building activities
- A sightseeing tour of Fortaleza and the opportunity to buy souvenirs
