Dear friends,

As Christian Model Ministries (CMM), we thank the Lord for all He has accomplished through us in September.

Below are some key highlights of the activities and developments within CMM during this period.

PRISON MINISTRY

Nyabirongo, Rusese, and Katwe Prisons

Fellowships were conducted in prisons, giving inmates the opportunity to hear and share the Word of God every Sunday. In these prisons, many inmates received encouragement and hope through the Word.

At Nyabirongo Prison, inmates now actively participate in praise and worship, testimonies, sharing of the Word, repentance, deliverance prayers, and giving. Some inmates fast and pray during their free time. 

Mbarara Main Prison

Fellowships were held every Wednesday. During this time, focus was laid on healing those with trauma, brokenness, and bondage. 

Additionally, an eye screening camp was conducted, where 175 prisoners received reading glasses, and 50 inmates were supported with laundry soap and jelly.

Isingiro Prison

150 inmates, both men and women received training in tailoring. Many also participated in the Inner Healing Series; series that teach people to forgive, trust God, and be delivered. Testimonies abounded from former inmates who were released and are now reintegrated into their communities, with invitations being extended for them to minister in their villages.

MEN’S MINISTRY

Five men’s fellowship meetings were held, addressing topics such as evil altars, bondages, and property disputes. These discussions created a safe space for men to open up and receive healing through the Word of God.

MARRIEDS MINISTRY

Three marriage fellowships were held, focusing on forgiveness and reconciliation. Common causes of marital conflict such as property disagreements, unfaithfulness, religious differences, ego, and unforgiveness were addressed through teaching and counseling. The sessions helped couples recommit in marriage.

MEDIA MINISTRY

CMM aided the further spread of the Gospel to wider audiences via Revival Radio and TV, as well as online platforms such as Google Meet and TikTok. These platforms have provided an avenue for timely and effective preaching of the Gospel, enabling the ministry to impact lives beyond physical gatherings.

Additionally, the online fellowship, Christian United in Prayer, has continued to grow steadily, with daily preaching sessions and increasing participation. Many members have shared testimonies of transformation and answered prayer. CMM also introduced a savings account to teach youths the importance of financial responsibility and stewardship.

HOSPITAL MINISTRY

CMM visited hospitals to minister to the sick and share the message of salvation. Several patients accepted Christ and testified to renewed strength and hope. Others reported improvement in their health after prayer and continued encouragement from the Word of God.

CHILDREN MINISTRY

Christian Model Ministries conducted successful children’s outreach programs in Mbarara town, visiting several schools and engaging with pupils in worship and the Word. The team has continued ministering to children, nurturing them in the knowledge of God’s love and Christian values.

YOUTH MINISTRY

Christian Model Ministries carried out school outreaches in Signal Primary School and JHIMS Secondary School, both located in Mpondwe–Lhubiriha Town Council, Bwera–Kasese.

At Signal Primary School, the team ministered from Mark 10:13–16, sharing with the children about the love of Jesus Christ and His sacrifice on the cross. The message deeply touched the pupils, who responded with joy and thanksgiving as they learned that Jesus loves and values them.

At JHIMS Secondary School, the message was shared from Matthew 11:28–30, inviting students to find rest in Jesus Christ. When the call for salvation was made, 15 out of 36 students joyfully confessed Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.

MATUGGA HILLS SECONDARY SCHOOL

CMM joined Matugga Hills Secondary School for the annual UCE candidates’ dedication service, where parents and teachers prayed for the students as they prepared for their final exams. Though the month came with challenges, including the loss of two candidates’ mothers, God’s grace carried everyone through, bringing comfort and strength to the school community.

THE CHURCH BASED TRAINING IN BIBLICAL STUDIES (C-TBS)

As we are coming near the end of 2025, we are very grateful to the Lord for what He continues to do in the lives of our C-TBS students and in their churches. Most of our students (Pastors) have been studying with their church congregation similar books as we are studying in the C-TBS, and this has strengthened and simplified their Bible Study services. Most of our students have also testified that preparing their Sunday service church sermons has been much more simplified because they now have a lot to share with their church congregation. 

The C-TBS is always an exciting, and encouraging powerful tool to the churches and Pastors in Uganda. We thank God for His mercies and Grace to us. It is so good to see churches, families, and children being blessed and encouraged through the various CMM ministries.

Thank you so much, our friends/co-workers for praying for us, encouraging and supporting us in this work. 

CMM

Dear friends,

As Christian Model Ministries (CMM), we thank the Lord for all He has accomplished through us in August.

Below are some key highlights of the activities and developments within CMM during this period.

PRISON OUTREACH

Nyabirongo Prison Station, Bwera, and Katwe prison

As CMM, we conducted weekly fellowships and meetings in these prisons every Sunday. Through these, many inmates accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, and there were testimonies of hope and transformation in their lives.

MBARARA MAIN PRISON

We visited the facility every Wednesday to minister to sexual offenders, murderers, robbers, and more, and addressed topics including past trauma and forgiveness. Supporting about 300 men in the rehabilitation, many prisoners forgave their complainants, relatives, spouses, and prosecutors, with some openly confessing their forgiveness in tears.

Additionally, we provided medical supplies to some inmates and offered special assistance to Fred Tinyefuza, an asthmatic prisoner, by giving him a mattress to ensure a warm and comfortable sleep.

KAKIKA PRISON

We resumed the inner healing class that began two months ago, now engaging approximately 200 prisoners. The sessions are held every Monday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

SHEEMA PRISON

CMM visited the prison and distributed 300 small English Bibles to prisoners able to read English, along with 15 large Bibles that were given to the officers.

MITOOMA PRISON

We visited Mitooma Prison and distributed 200 Bibles to the inmates.

RUKUNGIRI PRISON

300 Bibles were donated to inmates to support them in understanding the Word of God.

NDORWA MAIN PRISON

A total of 400 small Bibles were donated to the prisoners, and the Gospel was shared with each of the 400 inmates. In Ndorwa women’s prison, CMM distributed 100 small Bibles and preached to 150 females who gave their lives to  Christ.

MARRIEDS MINISTRY

A seminar was conducted to strengthen marriages, drawing about 35 couples, many of whose relationships were rejuvenated. The fellowship concluded with a meal sponsored by Christian Model Ministries.

MEDIA MINISTRY

In partnership with Revival TV and Radio, the Gospel was broadcast to a wide audience, with our program airing twice during the month and positively impacting many lives. In addition, the daily online fellowships have been sustained, consistently reaching approximately 50 participants across Uganda, the Middle East, and Europe.

YOUTH MINISTRY

CMM organised a youth camp where many children gave their lives to Christ. We continue to mentor and disciple them, nurturing their growth into future leaders. Guided by our theme from Matthew 28:19, “Go and Make Disciples,” we are committed to equipping young people with the knowledge, skills, and passion to share the gospel.

MINISTRY IN KARAMOJA

In partnership with Divine Care ministry, CMM went to Karamoja and preached the Gospel to children, prayed, shared meals, and distributed clothes to them and their families.

THE CHURCH BASED TRAINING IN BIBLICAL STUDIES (C-TBS)

We thank the Lord for all three classes taking place this year. Two of our classes are now studying the book of Genesis. Some of our students suggested that we study both the Old and New Testaments together as we go along, so we decided to do this with two of the “flexible” classes this year—the class at Matugga SLOG Church and the class at Odyssey Technologies. These two are currently studying the book of Genesis, while the Mukono DC Church school continues with the New Testament studies, currently focusing on 1st and 2nd Thessalonians.

I (Dan) have personally had the opportunity to sit in a variety of church services and listen when our students are either teaching or preaching in their home congregations. My conclusion is that God, through the CTBS course, is doing a wonderful work not only in the students but also in their churches. Many of our students have expressed that they are now much more comfortable and confident when preparing and presenting their sermons and teachings, and I have witnessed this firsthand as I listen to them in their services.

We thank the Lord for such great works He is doing, and we are grateful to all our friends and supporters for standing with us in these CMM ministries.

God bless,

The CMM Team

Dear friends,

As Christian Model Ministries (CMM), we thank the Lord for all He has accomplished through us in July.

Below are some key highlights of the activities and developments within CMM during this period.

PRISON OUTREACH

In July, our prison ministry continued to impact lives across eight key facilities:

Isingiro Prison: CMM conducted weekly Thursday sessions consistently, and 200 inmates participated. Most are on remand, but we bless God that some of them were released, with some grateful and requesting we also reach out to their communities and inspire many, as they were inspired.

Bushenyi Prison: We donated 400 New Testament Bibles and 10 full Bibles consisting of both the Old and New Testaments. Weekly visits are now scheduled every Tuesday.

Nyabuhikye Prison: We ministered to 200 inmates, and 180 received salvation. We donated 400 New Testament Bibles and 5 Bibles consisting of both the Old and New Testaments.

Mbarara Main Prison: Held weekly classes consisting of 184 prisoners, which meet every Wednesday from 10 am to midday. These classes have helped many to regain hope and feel loved by God.

Kakiika Prison: We introduced a counselling program, and 160 prisoners have enrolled on this program. Additionally, CMM donated 200 New Testament Bibles to different prisoners and 5 Bibles with both the Old and New Testaments.

Rusese Prison: Shared a message of repentance with both men and women, emphasising acknowledgement of sin, turning away from it, and becoming new creatures in Christ.

Nyabirongo Prison: A church structure was established; Sunday services are ongoing, and a committee of prisoners now leads the fellowship.

Katwe station: We also visited Katwe, and prisoners received the Word of God, believing God for greater things.

CHILDREN’S MINISTRY

We ministered in primary schools across the Western region, leading many pupils in schools to accept Jesus Christ. The outreach continues to impact and encourage children to trust in Jesus. Furthermore, a Thanksgiving event was held to raise 3.5 million for children’s church construction, and 2.4 million was contributed in cash.

CMM also partnered with churches, including Kawempe Worship Center, to train children in praise, worship, and dance, while also leading them to accept Christ and undergo baptism.

YOUTH MINISTRY

A savings account was opened to teach youth financial responsibility, and a formed youth group (Christian United in Prayer Youth) is learning more about how to save as they also grow steadily in the knowledge of God’s Word.

MARRIEDS MINISTRY

CMM held a seminar for the married. 43 couples came and were taught about oneness and transparency, effective communication, honouring marriage vows, and more. The session brought reconciliation and healing among couples.

COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT

Our Goat Project, launched to improve household incomes for children under our care, is steadily progressing. In July, 12 goats went out to the community members, some of whom are about to reproduce. Families that received goats before this July were met, and most of them are earning and doubling their profits through this project.

MEDIA MINISTRY

Through online meetings, television, and a community radio (Revival radio), CMM spread the Gospel to different people beyond borders. This helped extend God’s love to more people.

BWERA MINISTRY

At Alliance High School Bwera, the gospel was preached from Luke 19:9-10, and ten students gave their lives to Christ.

At JHIMS Secondary School Kyanzi Bwera, a sermon from Psalms 32:1-5 was shared, and 39 students surrendered their lives to Jesus as Lord and Saviour.

THE CHURCH BASED TRAINING IN BIBLICAL STUDIES (C-TBS)

Currently, all three Bible classes are studying the book of Romans. This book has been interesting to come to. Most of our students expressed the fear they used to have for this book. Most of them had never read through it all because it was like a theological document written by Apostle Paul to the Roman Church. With this, a good number have been dodging it but reading and quoting a few verses that made sense to them. 

Going through the occasion and purpose of writing this book, which is to encourage unity among the Jews and gentile believers, and looking at the structure and type of literature in this book, and applying all the other inductive approaches, these Bible study principles have been so much appreciated by all our students. 

The subject of Unity is so relevant in some of our churches here in Uganda, and as a country, we have also had very impressive class discussions along those lines. We are so blessed and encouraged by what God is doing in the lives of the students and the Church through this course.

Other Updates

CMM celebrated staff member Rachel Kalembe for completing her training in “Finding the Lost” missionary work, which equips church leaders to find, disciple, and send out believers according to God’s divine order.

Rachel graduating successfully after her “Finding the Lost” missionary training.

Thank you so much for standing with us in prayers and financial support for all the CMM ministry activities. We pray that the Lord will continue to strengthen and bless you much more in all that you do.

God bless you.

CMM Team

Dear friends,

Greetings in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We, Christian Model Ministries (CMM), are grateful to the Lord for all He has done, and we are pleased to share with you some key highlights and developments that have taken place within CMM lately.

PRISON MINISTRY

We bless the lord for the grace that he gave us to do his work. We were able to minister in the following ways.

Katwe Prison

CMM had the opportunity to minister at Katwe Prison Station on two occasions — in the first and last weeks of May. In the first week, there were 115 inmates present, and approximately 105 of them gave their lives to Christ. In the final week, even more prisoners received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. This brought the total number of salvations to 201 out of 217 inmates ministered to during the month. We were also able to donate Bibles to the prison officers.

CHILDREN’S MINISTRY

The children’s church ministry is growing steadily and thriving! We continue to train and nurture our young members by creating opportunities for them to praise the Lord, sing, read the Bible, and learn Bible stories. 

Parents have expressed deep appreciation for the positive influence the ministry is having on their children, many of whom are now sharing what they have learned at home. We are truly thankful for the chance to impart both knowledge and skills.

Additionally, we trained and continue to train Sunday School teachers on how to teach children the Word of God.

YOUTH MINISTRY

We successfully organised three impactful youth seminars in various churches, including Karugangama, Kashenyi, and Katete. During these sessions, we taught important lessons on teamwork, relationships, and moral values. Many young people were positively influenced, and we have seen a noticeable increase in youth involvement. Several individuals also gave their lives to Christ.

FELLOWSHIP

The fellowship is progressing by God’s grace. We saw growth as new converts continued to join us, and our current number reached 35 members in attendance. Each time we met, we took time to discuss ways to develop ourselves and how we can effectively reach our dear Muslim brothers and sisters who have not confessed the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

HOSPITAL VISITS

We visited Bwera Hospital, the largest health facility within the town council, and had the opportunity to minister to approximately 350 people. By God’s grace, around 310 of them gave their lives to Jesus Christ.

THE CHURCH BASED TRAINING IN BIBLICAL STUDIES (C-TBS)

We recently had Pastor Mike Howell from the U.K. teaching the introduction and overview of the Gospels. This teaching greatly helped our students in their approach to studying the Gospels, and it was very much appreciated by both the students and staff. 

Some of our students who are pastors were sharing that they are already taking their church congregations through the same subject to help their church members get to understand the Gospels better. Such and many other encouraging testimonies are some of the results of what God is doing through our C-TBS classes. Some ministers are continuing to follow up on what they are learning by having their churches study from the very same books that we (C-TBS) are studying during the church Bible study services. They are also encouraging/teaching the inductive approach to their church congregations as much as they can.

Additionally, other ministers were taught by the Word by Pastor Andrew. Their knowledge of God became broader, and they were blessed to have scriptures explained to them.

We thank God for the opportunity to be part of what He is doing in individuals and various church congregations.

OCHORUS BOOK MINISTRY PROGRAMME

During the church leadership seminar held at God’s Centre of Blessings, which brought together pastors and church leaders from various regions of Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, and the Congo, Pastor Mike Howell served as the guest speaker throughout the week. In partnership with Ochorus Books Ministry, CMM provided each attending pastor with four books. These books were deeply appreciated, and several pastors have already reached out to express interest in receiving additional copies to share with fellow leaders in their respective countries and regions.

This book ministry has been warmly received. We are truly grateful to the Lord for our partners (TUPS) who donated the books, which are already making a meaningful impact in the lives of pastors and their congregations across the nations.

We are so grateful to the Lord for His faithfulness and the opportunity He gave us to serve the church. The testimonies shared above are a testament to what God is doing through each area of ministry, from prisons and hospitals to children, youth, and church leaders across different regions.

We extend our thanks to all our partners/friends in Christ who continue to pray, give, and stand with us. Your support enables us to reach many lives with the love and truth of the Gospel.

The Christian Model Ministries (CMM) Team

Dear friends and fellow labourers in Christ,
As Christian Model Ministries (CMM), we thank the Lord for all He has accomplished through us in April.
Below are some key highlights of the activities and developments within CMM during this period.

1. PRISON MINISTRY
CMM visited several prisons and won souls to Jesus Christ. We visited the following prisons, and below are the highlights:

a). Mbarara Main Prison
We visited the mentioned prison three times this month and ministered the gospel of love. A total of 194 inmates received in-depth teaching from the Word of God. After the Bible study sessions, we awarded certificates to those who had completed the Bible study program.
Christian Model Ministries (CMM) also provided each of the 194 prisoners with a personal Bible. Following this, numerous testimonies began to emerge, including experiences of inner healing, forgiveness, reconciliation with family members, spiritual growth, and renewed faith in God.
The prison administration expressed deep gratitude for the support we have extended to them. We also committed to providing sweater sewing machines as part of our continued assistance.
Please note that we barely have pictures for the ministry work in prisons because we were not allowed to take any pictures from most prisons.

b). Mbarara Women Prison
The ministry in the women’s prison was established to support spiritual growth and provide vocational skill development. The goal is to equip the women with practical skills that will benefit them both during their time in prison and after their release.

c). Isingiro Prison
Isingiro Prison was visited twice this month and is progressing well after receiving five sewing machines. A total of 245 Bibles were distributed, including 200 Gideon New Testament Bibles, 25 English Bibles, and 20 Runyankole–Rukiga Bibles.

d). Nyabirongo Prison Station
At this prison in Kasese, 127 inmates were ministered to, and approximately 112 gave their lives to Jesus Christ. Three books in the Lunande/Lukonzo language were donated to the prison.
Please note: Nyabirongo Prison Station now has an established church, which Pastor Richard Byamugisha is scheduled to open officially.

2. MEN’S MINISTRY

Mbarara District has experienced a significant outpouring of the Holy Spirit among men, leading to steady growth in the men’s ministry. Weekly fellowships have been consistently maintained, primarily in homes, and the ministry has now been successfully extended to two additional churches.

3. MISSION WORK

In partnership with Karugangama Church, the gospel was preached throughout Mbarara. A total of 25 missionaries were trained and sent into the field alongside our team. The outreach covered various locations, including schools, hospitals, markets, shops, bars, homes, quarries, and bodaboda stages.

Kind note: Approximately 117 individuals gave their lives to Christ during this mission. Discipleship efforts are ongoing, and Bibles are being provided to support their spiritual growth.

In Kasese, the group of Muslim Background Believers (MBB), now referred to as New Creatures, holds regular fellowship every Thursday, with participation from both men and women. During these gatherings, the following activities are carried out:

• Discussing how to live a transformed life
• Praying for one another
• Strategising and praying for evangelism efforts aimed at reaching the Muslim community with the message of Christ.
• Planning to cultivate a culture of saving.

Below are some of the outreach areas that CMM visited and led many to Jesus Christ.

4. CHILDREN’S MINISTRY

Regular meetings have continued at Karugangama, where children are actively learning and growing in their faith. Prayer and support efforts remain ongoing to nurture the children’s spiritual development.

Below are pictures of Junior and the children with whom CMM gave Bibles and prayed.

5. YOUTH MINISTRY

CMM conducted youth fellowships across multiple churches, fostering spiritual growth and engagement. A “Saving Project” was launched to promote financial responsibility among the youth. Additionally, a football match and an evangelism outreach through football were organised as part of community engagement efforts.

These initiatives are instrumental in building a strong sense of community and deepening the faith of young people. 

Below are some of the pictures showing youths during fellowships.

6. CHARITY

Food assistance was provided to 30 vulnerable families in Mbarara. The beneficiaries included widows, orphans, single mothers, the poor, and families whose primary breadwinners had lost their jobs. The distributed items included rice, posho, salt, soap, and beef.

Kind note: Each family received a complete package, and the joy and gratitude expressed by the recipients were truly heartwarming.

Below are pictures of Richard and Junior giving out food and other basic needs to families in Karugangama, Mbarara district.

7. BIBLE DONATION

By the abundant grace of God, a total of 827 Bibles were received from three different sources and distributed accordingly.

• A donation of 61 Kinandi Bibles was made to pastors serving in the mountainous regions of Kasese. Additionally, Bibles were distributed to 21 churches across various denominations, including Baptist, Pentecostal, and Anglican congregations.
• From Gideons International, we received 600 New Testament Bibles and 50 complete Bibles, which were donated to Mbarara Main Prison and Isingiro Prison.
• An additional 116 Bibles were generously provided by Steve Happ and are currently being distributed to churches and new converts.

8. HOSPITAL VISITS

A visit was made to Bwera Hospital, where ministry was carried out among patients experiencing both physical and spiritual challenges.

The hospital hosts a wide range of individuals, including those battling chronic illnesses and others in critical condition who are in need of divine intervention. During the outreach, approximately 300 people were reached, including those in the children’s ward, and around 280 gave their lives to Jesus Christ.

9. GOLDEN CARE SCHOOL

A Primary Three class was successfully introduced, and pupils are learning. We are grateful to report that two additional pupils have been included among the sponsored children. This development follows a mutual agreement between the Directors of Christian Model Ministries (CMM) and Golden Care School to extend support to two more underprivileged children, enabling them to access quality education.

The sponsored pupils have shown commendable dedication to their studies, with the majority achieving Division One results, which is a truly impressive performance. For the few who are still adjusting, there is optimism that they will catch up with their peers.

Additionally, the school management has recruited a male teacher specifically to support the newly established Primary Three class.

10. MINISTRY IN KARAMOJA

Christian Model Ministries (CMM) visited Worship Harvest Church in Kiremeezi, pastored by Bbumba Joshua, during a children’s camp where we were invited to minister to the children. The program featured Bible teaching, praise and worship, testimonies, colouring activities, and games; all aimed at nurturing children’s spiritual growth and engagement.

11. THE CHURCH BASED TRAINING IN BIBLICAL STUDIES ( C-TBS )

The C-TBS classes held at Uganda Polymath Training Institute and the Searchlight of God Church are currently studying the Book of Acts. Mukono Deliverance Church is currently learning from the book of Colossians, and we continue to receive very positive and encouraging feedback from the ministers.

As the ministers deepen their understanding and apply the principles of Bible observation and interpretation, they are learning and implementing much more. Many are sharing testimonies of restored relationships within their families, workplaces, and churches.

Those involved in preaching and teaching ministries have expressed how the C-TBS program has greatly simplified and strengthened their ministry efforts.

Below is a picture of Elder Senkumba Davis teaching the book of Colossians at one of the classes at Mukono Deliverance Church.

We sincerely thank all our friends and partners for your prayers, encouragement, and unwavering support for the various CMM ministries mentioned above. Your partnership means so much to us, and we deeply appreciate your commitment.

Church Based Training in Biblical Studies ( C-TBS)

The C-TBS class at God’s Center of Blessing Church is currently studying 1&2 Kings. Studying thses books inductively has been such a big eye opener to our students. Many have confessed that they have done alot of teaching and preaching from these books without considering the historical background information which is so crucial to understanding /interpreting of these books.

And being able to see how these books relate to the ” major and minor prophets” in the old testament has made our study more exciting.

Uganda Polymath Technical Institute

A class of young men and women trained by Odyssey Technologies mainly in areas of computer software development skills have slotted a biblical training class with C-TBS and shall be starting soon ( during this month)

The team consists of church ministers and other upcoming church ministers.
