Page 2 - The Channel Spring 2021 _FINAL_

FROM THE DESK OF THE

CBM NATIONAL DIRECTORS

We are so excited to share with you the Spring 2021 issue of The Channel: HOPE. So much has changed since the last publication in Summer
2018! Our entire world looks different. Our way of life has changed. We have conversations containing phrases that would have sounded
otherworldly to us just one year ago. “Quarantine.” “Mask up.” “Social distance.” Despite every change, every sorrow, and every seeming setback, our
God has not changed. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He has also not stopped using His people to continue propelling the gospel, “that
the whole world may know.”

CBM was blessed to accomplish much ministry in 2020! Many children heard and responded to the gospel. Bible Lessons were completed.
Scripture was hidden in many hearts. In some of our locations, children were able to attend camp (face-to-face, virtually, and through camp-in-a-
box programs) and hear about a Savior who would forgive and change them, and become their Heavenly Father, through His atoning sacrifice on
the cross and His defeat of death three days later. Men, women, boys, and girls placed their faith in Jesus Christ through CBM’s work. Praise the
Lord with us for what He has done! We will persevere by the power of His might until He calls us home.

Our goal for this edition of The Channel is that the readers would marvel at God’s work, His provision, and His faithfulness. We want to declare the
greatness of His majesty by sharing about the new missionaries He’s called into the field, the support He’s allowed them to raise even during this
unusual season, the obstacles overcome by our CBM missionaries, and even the new areas into which God has allowed CBM to expand.

2020 was one of the best financial years CBM and TRC have ever had. We asked you to help us not only survive, but thrive, through this trial.
We were able to come out on the other side stronger than ever before. In December, through our Virtual Fundraiser, CBM was able to provide 6
of its Areas (Camp Ozone, Camp Victory, Camp Cornerstone, Camp Grace, Camp Ta-Pa-Win-Go, and Camp Red Arrow) with a financial gift.
We were also able to assist Camp Gilead with funding and completing many property projects. Additionally, we were able to send funds to help
Interlocking Ministries in Kenya purchase a new piece of property to help train up missionaries, and send funds to The Filling Station to help with
a Christmas dinner for the local community in Honduras. We truly believe the Lord has used you to enable CBM to do all of this! This is His
ministry.

Thank you to everyone who has given to CBM through your finances, your time, and your expertise. You are so valuable to us, and your support is
such an encouragement. The treasures that you are laying up are eternal. They make the work of the gospel possible here on this earth, but more than
that, God sees and promises to reward. May God richly reward you for your support of CBM and its stateside and international mission, and for
your pursuit of His eternal Kingdom. Thank you for being a part of this ministry!
