The Novo Horizonte Ministry involves many individuals and different projects for meeting the needs of people. We have many discipleship training programs. A lot of emphasis is placed on “One-on-One Discipleship.” We provide professional counseling services and different support groups. Our 100 acre Shalon Camp is used almost every weekend during the year.

C.B.M. with its “Project Amazonas: Christ, Life and Health” is giving much attention and emphasis to the Amazon Region of Brazil. A boat was purchased and remodeled and has been used almost monthly for ten day trips since March, 2000 when we made our first trip. This Amazon Boat Ministry is reaching and helping people that live in villages along the many tributaries of the Amazon River. A new medical boat (CBM Amazonia) was inaugurated in January 2012. The boat is equipped with both medical and dental clinics as well as a pharmacy that has most all medications that are needed by the villagers. There are air-conditioned sleeping quarters for over 25 individuals plus the top area for another 15 people that enjoy sleeping in (redes) hammocks. We take doctors, Brazilian dentists, nurses, construction crews and evangelistic teams on almost all trips. We are providing better health and making possible a better life for these villagers as well as teaching them about Christ and planting churches. During these almost 24 years we have treated hundreds of children and adults. Many health problems have been solved, Christ has been preached, villages and lives transformed and churches started. There is a fulltime crew of nine (9) individuals that go on each trip. There is a single missionary lady working with this project besides twenty five (25) native missionary families in remote villages. There are now 30 “Project Amazon” churches in different villages and we probably have another 10 new villages right now waiting and wanting a church.

In São Sebastião we have the “Greenhouse Project” that is helping church families with a better diet and health habits as well as producing a small income for those working at the project.

We have a new church in the Mocumbo region in the county of Parintins that will become another training center for making disciples that will reach many new villages in the area.

We also have the concentrated juice factory in the Buçusal Village that is beginning to produce the fruit that will make the juice as well as provide jobs for some of the villagers. It is also encouraging nearby farmers to raise the fruit that will then be sold to the factory for making more juice.

Many interested individuals from some of our supporting churches have come
to help us on different trips. We need this kind of cooperation as we plan
to have at least 50 churches in the Amazon Region alone by the end of 2025.
