CMM Recent Report

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.
