On 25th, we visited 2 prisons on Kalangala island, Mugoye and Kalangala prisons. They’re both on the same island but 30km apart. Both prisons had 105 prisoners who are below 2yrs sentence. We took 34 bibles along with us, cakes and water for drinking. We gave 20 bibles to prisoners, 2 bibles to officers and 12 to the prison library. 67 prisoners gave their lives to Christ. We had a great time of sharing and praying with prisoners one on one. The next day on 26th, we got a call from the prison that 13 prisoners were pardoned when they appeared before the magistrates. It was a great miracle to the whole prison because it had never happened.

C-TBS Classes.
Greetings to all our friends/co-workers in Christ. We the C-TBS staff team would like to thank you all for your prayers, support and encouragement especially during these days where COVID-19 has presented such a big threat internationally.
C-TBS Pastors’ class
February and early March, all our C-TBS usual programs were running well but like all other businesses in Uganda, we have put down most of the tools for the next day 25 days first in obedience to the government given COVID-19 management guidelines.
As you could be aware, the Uganda government has closed all schools, church gatherings, all shops/stores except for stores selling foodstuffs, all vehicles cannot move except a few government official cars. We are therefore very much restricted to stay indoors for a period of 20 days as the government monitors the situation.
The Muwanguzi family.
Both schools (OT and NT) bible classes started on the 2nd weekend of March. The NT class at Bweyogerere started with 33 students from 7 different churches and the OT class at deliverance church Mukono had started with 17 students from 4 different churches. We are currently in touch with most of our students on phone, encouraging each other in prayer and reading / studying the scriptures.
We continue to pray and seek the Lord in regard to the current situation. Please continue to pray with us more especially in our context where many are not working yet feeding and other necessities have to continue. There’s already cries from many different families more especially for food and other daily needs. May the Lord be with you and continue to keep you well. We also love you and thank you so much for being part of us and supporting the work of God here in Uganda.
