Dear friends and co-workers in Christ Jesus, Below are our activities for the month of September

KARAMOJA VISIT

We visited the Karamoja CMM kids to help them return to school and check on their welfare. During our visit, we discovered that the whole region is insecure and people were restricted from moving. This instability has been fueled by the prolonged draught, famine and the availability of guns and cattle theft. We however did our best and reached our CMM kids preached and prayed for them, gave them some school materials and food. We pray and request for your continous prayers for Karamoja.

We visited Katanga slums a Kampala city suburb which hosts close to 60,000 people. There is high crime rate in this region because its a slum housing drug addicts, prostitutes, thieves and a lot of lawlessness . Many souls came to Christ. We were led by Archbishop Dr. Steven Kazimba Mugalu the Archbishop of the Anglican church of Uganda.

CHURCH BASED TRAINING IN BIBLICAL STUDIES (C-TBS)

Both the New Testament and the Old Testament classes are nearing the climax of their studies and each class has been sharing many encouraging testimonies in relation to their studies.

We have had many good testimonies coming from studying the Book of Joshua. Some of our students as we study the book, they too pullout passages from that book and share with their congregations during Bible Studies and Church services.

Most of the Testimonies have been to do with victories of Joshua and Israel amidst strong resistance, opposition and attacks from professional, numerous and strong nations that occupied the promised land.

The book of Joshua to many has been a call to engage more in spiritual warfare for our students and their church congregations and the Nation at Large.

Uganda is currently experiencing an economic crisis, the cost of living has doubled, prices of fuel and essential commodities going so high. School fees and maintaining kids in school is becoming a bigger challenge to many parents. It has been so good when our students look to all this from the Bible point of view, encourage themselves and their congregations to keep praying and trusting God.

We thank God so much that we have hope in such situations that look like crisis. We thank God for such an opportunity to be studying and teaching the word of God to the church.

We thank God and you our friends for standing with us, encouraging and supporting us in the mission. Thank you so much, we pray that the Lord will continue to keep you all well and growing in HIM.

God bless

CHURCH BASED TRAINING IN BIBLICAL STUDIES (C-TBS)

The Old Testament class is studying the book of Deutronomy and The New Testament class is studying the book of Acts.

Most of our students are either pastors or ministers in different churches. The most outstanding testimony of recent is how the course has simplified their preaching and teaching work, and also brought more motivation in their famiy and personnal devotional programmes. Such and many other encouraging testimonies have been of much encouragement to me as i read them when checking the students work,mostly in the morning hours.( Dan Muwanguzi)

We are very grateful to the lord for such an opportunity to be able to minister to the churches and communities in Uganda.
