We want to say thank you to all of our supporting churches, individual donors, our prayer partners and to our entire 150 plus volunteers that came on trips to help us reach the communities and villages of the Amazon region. The ministry of CBM Amazonia could not exist without you. With your support and help we were able to accomplish: 13 trips, 70 plus villages visited, 5500 medical visits, 1500 dental visits, 1200 glasses, 4000 sunglasses distributed, $ 80k in vitamins and medicines given out, 18k gl of diesel fuel used on trips, 4 seminars for our missionaries and leaders; 2 leadership conferences attended. This year we were able to start a new program with puppets doing stories, devotions and singing at each village prior to them coming on to the boat. We had a great hard-working boat staff for each trip with many improvements made on trips.

                Thank you for being a blessing to our ministry! We were able to finish the year with our annual CBM Trustees meeting. We want to say thank you to all our trustees, especially Dr. Woody Wilson for being a great leader for the mission for many years. We want to welcome our new president elect Clark Snyder. Clark is a long supporter and friend of CBM who has served on trips. We are excited about this new adventure.

            We are excited also to be partnering with IDES who approved a $ 10k grant for the purchasing of a portable dental x-ray machine, portable dental unit and an ultrasound machine! This equipment will be such an asset to our ministry improving our quality and enhance our time treating patients on and off the boat.

            God continues to bless our new plane project as we are on the downhill side of the project. We are still short of about $150k and are looking for $1500-$2000 monthly support for the upkeep of this project.

 Wow, what a God we serve! May God continue to bless all that have blessed CBM!
