Maintenance Campaign Update
With your help, we have been able to restore this entryway and make it safe again. Our focus now turns to other maintenance needs, including the gym. We have $13,000 to raise to reach our goal and repair the gym. Thank you for making such an important difference.
October Prayer / Praise
We are thankful for our new safe entryway!
Erivando was called for the surgery he needed in September. Everything went well, and he is now healing at home.
Please continue to pray for his complete recovery.
Welcome Brittany
Hello, my name is Brittany Litton. I will be working in the Virginia office part-time, collecting mail and processing donations. I am so excited to be supporting this amazing ministry. Growing up, I had a passion for missions and for traveling the world. I am a proud VT Hokie and Regent graduate.
I learned about CBC through my church in Virginia and through my parents, who are faithful Dreambuilders. As a Dreambuilder myself, I really enjoy receiving the child-story and photo each month, and I love to show them to my two kids aged 8 and 5.
I am so grateful for your support in seeing children’s lives transformed for the glory of God. I hope to be able to travel to Brazil in the future. Please feel free to reach out; email is best brittany.litton@thechannel.org.
Gifts in Honor or Memory
Sometimes our friends and family members want something different to honor their birthday or special occasion like an anniversary. Now you can do this in the form of a donation to CBC.
We have a new checkbox and memo section on our donation page where you can specify the details, and we will send them a card or email for you.
You can also use this option to donate in memory of loved ones who have passed. We will send an appropriate acknowledgement to the family.
Our DreamBuilder partners are what make CBC possible! Join our community to help spread the word of God through the mission of CBC. Your gift creates opportunities for children to experience fun and freedom in a safe environment. Something hard to find in the slum community in Fortaleza, Brazil! We will send you monthly updates and stories about the children you are serving!
An Update From Silvia
We so appreciate your prayers and messages for the CBC staff you know and love.
We are delighted to be able to report that Silvia’s is continuing her recovery from a cancer diagnosis last year. She is working 3 days a week and getting stronger each day.
Silvia recently had an emotional reunion with her dear friend Cristina White, who was a teacher at CBC until 2003. Cristina now lives in North Carolina with her husband and two daughters. However, on a recent trip back to Brazil, she made an important stop at CBC to be reunited with her former colleagues and CBC family. Thank you Cristina, for your support and friendship.
