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.

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.
