October was a very busy month with a number of activities around the country. We saw the hand of God in the prisons, villages, churches, and school ministries. This time round, CMM was blessed to host members from TUPS (David, Linda, Emily, Pr. Jeff and Ric) who took part in all the above activities.

PRISON MINISTRIES.
Together with the TUPs team, we visited 3 prisons, Kasangatti, Butaleja, and Kotido all three prisons were served with a drink and a bite and the word of God. Kasangatti didn’t allow us in but we were able to pray with their representatives. In Butaleja we met 58 prisoners of which 1 was a lady. Ric peached with Emily about the love of Christ. 16 prisoners gave their lives to Christ of which 5 were Muslims. In Kotido we preached to 106 prisoners of which 16 were women. Ric and David preached the love of Christ and 68 gave their lives to Christ. We also shared with them sodas and cakes including the prison offers. We also gave each lady a packet of sanitary pads. All that was possible because of the good heart of the TUPS team.
CHURCH MINISTRY.
We visited a couple of churches in different parts of the country. These include;
Bulenga church
This is pastored by Pr. Justus Muhwezi and they meet four times a week. On Wednesday 30th October we met the ministers for 2hrs. David and Ric talked about the authority, great commission and the coming of the messiah. They also had one on one prayer time and the Spirit of God moved mightily.
Butaleja church.
We visited Butaleja Christian model church which was started by CMM. The turn up was very low due to the time factor but Pr. Jeff preached and encouraged Christians to remain strong.

C-TBS GRADUATIONS.
The new testament class which has been running since March graduated on Sunday 27th/October/2019 with 19 students from 5 different churches. The occasion took place in a Sunday church service at Mukono Deliverance church. This is a time of celebration and good testimonies from the students who have been working so hard studying inductively every book of the new testament.
.
The TUPS team from Victoria Canada were our guests of honor on that day and they gave out certificates to the graduands.
Afterward, we shared a meal with the students and their guests.
The O.T class, on the other hand, had 13 of the students that successfully completed the study of the old testament. This class was running at God’s center of blessings Chruch but the 13 students came from 4 different churches.
The occasion took place during a Sunday church service on 10th/October/2019.
We are so grateful to the Lord for the contribution of these bibles courses towards the discipleship of the Nation of Uganda.
.
Training of pastors and ministers at their locations allows them to continue with their routine work as they study each book of the Bible using the inductive approach. This is such a powerful and very effective discipleship tool in our churches today.
We are so thankful to the Lord for all the friends that stand with us in prayers and financially as this enables us as staff to continue doing our work more effectively.
Thank you so much.
