We are thrilled that you decided to visit our C.B.M. website and hope you will enjoy your visit with us. We, Earl and Ruth Anne Haubner, are all excited about the future of our CBM Ministry. There are so many needs to meet and so much to do we certainly need His direction and blessing as decisions are made and individuals are reached and transformed by Christ. If you have any questions, suggestions or need our help, please contact us at our e-mail address.
We have a very faithful group of supporting churches and Christians involved in our Central Brazil Mission Ministry. Many of them have now been here to help us with a “Amazon Boat Ministry Trip” and others are scheduled and confirmed for future trips. We already have trips confirmed for 2024, 2025, 2026 and are now working on our agenda for 2027. Our C.B.M. Project Amazonas: Christ, Life and Health is a ministry of partnership which involves many Christians that faithfully pray and supports this mission work. We are in need of more faithful partners that will help us meet our future goals and vision.
We came to Brazil in July, 1969 and celebrated 54 years of missionary service in Brazil in July of 2023. We are now living in the U.S. but plan to continue doing the Amazon Boat Trips with the help of our children. Also, our Brazilian MD, Leticia, started helping with trips in 2023. We have been so excited with our supporting churches at how they are growing and their new interest in missions. We praise God for the vision He has given us for reaching people with the Gospel and helping meet their needs. We believe that part of our ministry is to continue the ministry that Jesus started. He did say: “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” (John 20:21). And when He started his ministry He made it clear as to what God wanted Him to do. He said: “ The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor, to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” (Luke 4:18, 19). Since we began this ministry in the Amazon region of Brazil we can certainly see the need for a ministry that will meet the needs of the whole person. That’s why it is called: “Project Amazon: Christ, Life and Health.” We want these people to know Jesus and to have “an abundant life” in and with Him.
55 Years on the Mission Field
In 1969, right around the time that man set foot on the moon, a family moved from Ohio to Brazil to begin missions work, finding themselves in a strange new place that might as well have been the moon. Fifty-five years later, Earl Haubner estimates that they've seen more than 50,000 baptisms as Brazilians and others across the world have come to know Jesus.
In "Dreaming Big in Brazil: 55 Years on the Mission Field," Haubner shares their incredible journey of planting churches, learning a new culture, and planning for the future.
They followed God's call into the Amazon, launching a boat ministry that provides medical and dental care to remote communities along the Amazon River, while training pastors to serve their communities.
Told through the heartfelt stories of Haubner, his wife, children, and others who have served in missions, this book will inspire you to dream big and trust in God's power to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.
Join us in this powerful journey of faith and transformation.
