Our Team

Our teams in Brazil & the US are united in accomplishing the mission of CBC.

Marcondes (Marc) Marques

Executive Director

Marc was born in Fortaleza, Brazil. Growing up in a middle-class family, Marc noticed the distinct differences in opportunity available to him compared with his friends who lived in the slums. In the 80’s Marc studied Social Studies in the United States. In 1983, he founded Channel to Brazil for Christ. Marc has committed over 42 years to serving the poverty-stricken community in Fortaleza, Brazil. He is dedicated to providing opportunities for youth to develop and pursue their dreams.

Our team in Brazil

Our team of teachers in Brazil is full of joy and dedicated to serving our children. Each of them comes from a different background, bringing unique experiences and knowledge.

Please pray for our teachers and their families, especially for their health and safety. They are role models for the children we serve! Support our team and the mission of CBC!

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10
