Greetings to you our family, friends, and partners. We are looking forward to the new outreaches and missions with excitement, enthusiasm, and hope. We have held various meetings to strategize, maximize, and utilize every opportunity we encounter to reach out to the ends of the country with the good news of the Gospel and share the love of Jesus, with the various communities and individuals in our nation Uganda. These are the activities for January and February.
KARAMOJA OUTREACH
Immediately after the Butalejja mission, we visited Karamoja and celebrated the New Year with them. On the same trip, we met the kids who are growing in stature and wisdom and are becoming a great asset to the Karamoja and their families. Many have gone to the next level of education this year, from primary to secondary. Those who did their primary leaving Examinations performed well and are already enrolled in secondary schools. We thank God for this achievement.

PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN’s CAMP
We arranged a preschool children’s camp in January. Many kids are still always home before school resumes. We organized for a camp that had great teachers, games, interactions, and food. We received close to 200 kids. we preached the gospel and taught them. We thank God for the ministry and plan to continue with it since we have a minister for it handling youth and children. We thank God for the grace to reach the new generation.

YOUTH MINISTRY
Like the above, we had a youth seminar that attracted 48 youth who were taught by great teachers. We taught them about abstinence, social media, and patience. many gave their lives to Christ. We also held the DAD–SON talk where we invited all the boys in the church and their fathers. We held a great talk for both and started the bridging relationships between parents and their sons. We realized that boys were not talking to their dads and thus faced different challenges.
MARRIEDS MINISTRY
Since Last year, this has become a turning point for families after engaging in family ministry. It has given birth to men’s fellowships, women’s fellowships, and married seminars. This month began with weekly meetings for men and Women. We currently collaborate with six churches having active monthly fellowship meetings. We look forward to having more meetings this year.

RADIO MINISTRY
The radio ministry in Mbarara city still thrives and currently reaches the 10 districts of Ankole which have a huge population. We were mainly sharing about marriage and family. We look forward to more radio and television programs on marriage and other ministries.

DONATIONS
We received a consignment of clothes from our friends and partners. We distributed them to some community members who were lacking. We preached the word of God to them and many gave their lives to Jesus

PRISON / POLICE MINISTRY
The prison ministry is still very vibrant in Western Uganda. We had two prison visits, Mbarara main prison, and Bwera Prison in Kasese.
We preached and shared some refreshments to the prisoners. In Mbarara, we met 178 prisoners who are on sexual offenses, rape and aggravated defilement. We shared and preached the gospel to them and many gave their lives to Jesus Christ.
In Kasese, we ministered to 221, and 173 got born again. We also shared with them some refreshments and look forward to visiting the station again. We also visited the Central Police Station of Mbarara thrice and ministered to around 200 people, 73 of whom gave their lives to Christ.
KYANKWAZI OUTREACH MISSION
We carried out an outreach in the region of kyankwanzi where we met pastors and church ministers of the region to pray and teach them how to grow in outreaches and missions. we prayed and counseling for children who were going back to school as well. We also visited local churches in Kyankwanzi where we encouraged people who were giving up on salvation. we found a church that fellowships under a tree.

CHURCH BASED TRAINING IN BIBLICAL STUDIES ( C-TBS)
This year 2024,the C-TBS class at Mukono has had a few books to complete their Old Testament class which they started in 2023.
The class at God’s Center of Blessings Bweyogerere also has had to complete the book of revelation which they did by late February. This class at Bweyogerere will start the Old Testament studies on the 2nd of April. The C-TBS class has been holding several meetings and praying in preparation for the 2024 bible training classes.
Some of the stuff have been visiting various churches with in the areas of Mukono and Bweyogerere introducing the C-TBS Bible Training course to more churches.
The Bible class at Kagoma will run along side a VTS computer software class has also resumed and we are now studying the book of Galatians. This week we were looking at chapter 2 & 3 of Galatians where Paul bases his argument on the Old Testament scriptures. Justification is by faith in Jesus Christ and not by the works of the Law.
And we had very interesting and encouraging feedback and contributions from our students regarding the above subject of justification by faith.
Our class at Kagoma is so happy and excited about what they are discovering and what God is speaking to us as we keep studying the scriptures.

We are grateful to the Lord for such an opportunity to be part of what God is doing in the nation and church in Uganda today.
We are very thankful to you our friends for standing with us with us in prayers and financial support of all our CMM programs.
Many are giving their lives to Christ, and many are being encouraged and helped by the learning and teaching the word of God.
God Bless.
CMM Team.
