10th Anniversary Trip to the Amazon

We’re headed back to the Amazon in 2022 for the 10th Anniversary of our ministry and we want YOU to join us!!

On this trip to Brazil, we will begin our journey in Manaus, Brazil but move further into the dark reaches of the interior of the Amazon to areas previously considered inaccessible and lost–sailing down stretches of river so narrow the rainforest and wildlife will practically brush against your shoulders, and so broad that you won’t be able to see land on either side of the boat. We’ll see monkeys swinging from tree branch to tree branch, large cats stalking prey in the thickets, and fish so massive and ancient that you’ll think you just stepped into a prehistoric museum. It’ll take a two to three-day journey down the Amazon on an open-air riverboat just to begin the work we’ll be doing!

ALSO, we will revisit the very house and family on the Amazon that first sparked our passion for this mission 10 years ago!

On top of all that, we will share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, distribute lifesaving water filters, and follow up with recipients in villages along the Amazon River in Brazil.

Christopher Beth, founder and Chief Storyteller, and family will be leading this trip.

We have LIMITED spots for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to serve the underprivileged people of Brazil and experience the breadth and majesty of God’s creativity in the Amazon rainforest, so reserve your spot ASAP!

Date: November 28, 2022 – December 8, 2022

Estimated cost for the trip is $4000 per missionary which includes Covac extraction insurance.

If you have any questions regarding this trip, please email [email protected].

Currently Brazil requires all foreign travelers to be fully covid vaccinated and show proof of said vaccines upon entry as well as a negative RT-PCR test – thus our travelers will have to follow those requirements. We will continue to monitor their policies and modify our requirements as needed.

Other Questions
I understand and agree that joining a trip with TBM requires team unity and will commit to attend the majority of team meetings (in person or on zoom)*
Many trips require ample walking, climbing, carrying, long and emotional workdays, use of weird “bathrooms”, long hours in a car-airplane-bus, frequent travel delays, occasional airport sleeping, or just lack of sleeping. Do you have any limitations that could potentially hinder your trip?**
