Dear friends,
As Christian Model Ministries (CMM), we thank the Lord for all He has accomplished through us in August.
Below are some key highlights of the activities and developments within CMM during this period.
PRISON OUTREACH
Nyabirongo Prison Station, Bwera, and Katwe prison
As CMM, we conducted weekly fellowships and meetings in these prisons every Sunday. Through these, many inmates accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, and there were testimonies of hope and transformation in their lives.
MBARARA MAIN PRISON
We visited the facility every Wednesday to minister to sexual offenders, murderers, robbers, and more, and addressed topics including past trauma and forgiveness. Supporting about 300 men in the rehabilitation, many prisoners forgave their complainants, relatives, spouses, and prosecutors, with some openly confessing their forgiveness in tears.
Additionally, we provided medical supplies to some inmates and offered special assistance to Fred Tinyefuza, an asthmatic prisoner, by giving him a mattress to ensure a warm and comfortable sleep.
KAKIKA PRISON
We resumed the inner healing class that began two months ago, now engaging approximately 200 prisoners. The sessions are held every Monday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
SHEEMA PRISON
CMM visited the prison and distributed 300 small English Bibles to prisoners able to read English, along with 15 large Bibles that were given to the officers.
MITOOMA PRISON
We visited Mitooma Prison and distributed 200 Bibles to the inmates.
RUKUNGIRI PRISON
300 Bibles were donated to inmates to support them in understanding the Word of God.
NDORWA MAIN PRISON
A total of 400 small Bibles were donated to the prisoners, and the Gospel was shared with each of the 400 inmates. In Ndorwa women’s prison, CMM distributed 100 small Bibles and preached to 150 females who gave their lives to Christ.

MARRIEDS MINISTRY
A seminar was conducted to strengthen marriages, drawing about 35 couples, many of whose relationships were rejuvenated. The fellowship concluded with a meal sponsored by Christian Model Ministries.

MEDIA MINISTRY
In partnership with Revival TV and Radio, the Gospel was broadcast to a wide audience, with our program airing twice during the month and positively impacting many lives. In addition, the daily online fellowships have been sustained, consistently reaching approximately 50 participants across Uganda, the Middle East, and Europe.

YOUTH MINISTRY
CMM organised a youth camp where many children gave their lives to Christ. We continue to mentor and disciple them, nurturing their growth into future leaders. Guided by our theme from Matthew 28:19, “Go and Make Disciples,” we are committed to equipping young people with the knowledge, skills, and passion to share the gospel.

MINISTRY IN KARAMOJA
In partnership with Divine Care ministry, CMM went to Karamoja and preached the Gospel to children, prayed, shared meals, and distributed clothes to them and their families.

THE CHURCH BASED TRAINING IN BIBLICAL STUDIES (C-TBS)
We thank the Lord for all three classes taking place this year. Two of our classes are now studying the book of Genesis. Some of our students suggested that we study both the Old and New Testaments together as we go along, so we decided to do this with two of the “flexible” classes this year—the class at Matugga SLOG Church and the class at Odyssey Technologies. These two are currently studying the book of Genesis, while the Mukono DC Church school continues with the New Testament studies, currently focusing on 1st and 2nd Thessalonians.
I (Dan) have personally had the opportunity to sit in a variety of church services and listen when our students are either teaching or preaching in their home congregations. My conclusion is that God, through the CTBS course, is doing a wonderful work not only in the students but also in their churches. Many of our students have expressed that they are now much more comfortable and confident when preparing and presenting their sermons and teachings, and I have witnessed this firsthand as I listen to them in their services.

We thank the Lord for such great works He is doing, and we are grateful to all our friends and supporters for standing with us in these CMM ministries.
God bless,
