We are thrilled to introduce you to Alan and Jodi Clark and their 5 children, Jordan, Leigh-Ann, Casie, Austin and Brooke-Lyn. We are delighted to announce Alan as our new Director of Strategic Development in America. Alan’s position is self funded and his focus will be to develop awareness of CBC University of Life and develop strategic partnerships with individuals businesses and ministries.

Over the last 5 years God has been drawing this family from Newport News in VA, closer and closer to the work of CBC. Their closest friends have commented that whenever any of them talk about the project their eyes light up in a unique and inspiring way.

Dear friends,

It is with a heavy heart that I share these pictures with you. This year, Brazil suffered the worst floods in 20 years. The main classroom building suffered the most damage. Leaks have rotted the ceiling of the computer classroom and damaged electrical networks. To eliminate the risk of collapse the roof had to be urgently removed. There was also damage to the septic tanks, plumbing system and office equipment.

Our staff and students have done their best to continue with all the usual classes but we need a complete and fast overhaul of this building and a proper drainage system to prevent this from happening again. Our immediate repairs will cost $25,000. You can make an online donation though PayPal (click "Make a donation" at the top of this page) or you can mail a check payable to CBC to PO Box 804, Newport News, VA 23607.

Please download our Urgent Appeal newsletter here to see more pictures of the damage and more detailed estimates of needed repairs.

On behalf of the children and staff,

Marcondes Marques
Director
