Prison Ministry

As one of the ways of fulfilling our great commission, we at CMM have continued visiting various prisons in Uganda taking to them words of Love, Hope, Forgiveness, and reconciliation. We managed to minister to 3 different prisons and 3 police detentions/police cells.

Kasangati Prison.

As was previously mentioned, Kasangati prison administration have always welcomed CMM with open arms to preach the word of God and talk to the prisoners and the prison staff. On the 26th of June, with 16 bibles to donate, we visited and preached to 278 prisoners 24 of whom were women and 37 prisoners came to Christ.

Nyimbwa Prison.

Kauga prison.

This prison facility is found along Kampala Jinja highway and housed 586 prisoners at the time of our visit. Here we donated 10 bibles to help them grow spiritually in Christ.

Among the police detentions we visited were, Mukono police station, Kiira road police station, and Seeta police station where we had a total of 52 come to christ and also gave out 10 bibles.
Family Alters / Fellowships.
Our weekly family fellowships have continued to be a blessing to many and we continue to receive testimonies of God’s goodness through these fellowships.

The new testament 

This class recently completed the study of the book of Acts. The book of acts in our setting is like the climax of the N.T bible class.

By this time, all the students have a good understanding of the “inductive approach bible study”.

Now Acts also acts as the introduction and lays the foundation to the epistles.

We are now studying the book of romans which is another exciting and rich book in christian / church doctrine.

The Old Testament.

The O.T class is currently studying the books 1+2 Samuel. We in the bible studies consider this as one book given the simple fact that 2nd Samuel is a continuation of the 1st Samuel story.

Around this time, the O.T class is also eying 1+2 Kings which also in a sense is the climax for the O.T as it contains such important background information for the prophets books.

Prisons Ministry

By the grace of God, CMM has continued visiting prisons and police cells around Uganda and in the month of April we managed to reach out to 3 police stations sharing the love of Christ.

Seeta police station.

This had 68 suspects that day and this number was due to the increased crime rate in the Easter celebrations season. We ministered to them about the unending love of Christ and 13 gave their lives to Christ.

Wandegeya police station.

This was the biggest visited this month. It housed 107 suspects at the time most of whom were hard core criminals. We continued sharing the love of christ through the word and 18 gave their lives to Christ.

Namugongo police post.

This by virtue of to the police post size houses a small number as compared to the above. We found 13 suspects who were charged on offences ranging from petty theft to domestic violence.

Hospital Ministry 

CMM has continued with routine visits to patients in Mulago hospital. We went to the men’s ward and attended to 5 men who had no attendants. we helped them shave their hair, cutting fingers nails, bathing them, etc.

Family alters

The family alters fellowships have continued happening on a weekly basis. In the month of April, we held fellowships every Monday in Namugongo and at Bethany every Wednesday and the emphasis this month was to ensure people revive their relationship with God in the month of remembering the resurrection of Jesus.

The C-TBS 

The OT class is now studying the book of Deuteronomy. The NT class is now studying the gospel of Luke and their next book will be Acts and this will introduce us to the study of more Epistles.

Both classes continue to be exciting and different students share good testimonies of what God is doing in their lives and ministries, some saying that they no longer take long working on their Sunday sermons and many themes keep coming up as they study the bible.

1. The CMM Schools’ Ministry.

A good number of schools across the country have continued giving us open invitations to share Christ with the children / Students and CMM members have maintained that every month visiting one or two schools and share Christ with the students and teachers and we have witnessed positive plus encouraging results. Many are regularly giving their lives to Christ.

In June this year (2018), a team from CMM visited Global high school, a secondary school that has a population of 874 students. We shared with the students about the compelling love of Christ.

With a team of 15 members, CMM visited makerere University in the month of August, located in Kampala where we shared the word of God and counselled a number of students. We had 17 students give their lives to Christ.

2. CMM Children’s Ministry. 

Christian Model Ministries has continued reaching out children in different communities over time. In the month of August, we conducted a children’s outreach ministry in a Kampala slum called Katanga. This Slum is a settlement located in the valley between Mulago Hospital and Makerere University, in Uganda’s capital city, Kampala. It is defined by quite a number of challenges including many single mothers, many people living with HIV among others.

We had about 70 kids whom we shared the word of God, prayed with and also gave out snacks and clothes.

Katonga children being ministered to.

Our team in the month of August Visited the 2 years, 5 months old triplets that we as CMM have support right from the time of birth since their mother was financially constrained. We managed to give them some soap, Bread, baking flour. We also took time to pray for then and shared the word of God with their mother.

The children are healthy and in good shape, thanks to God and all that have managed to send in support.

In the month of July, our team led by Richard visited sunday school pupils of Mitooma, Ntungamo district, Western Uganda, where we shared snacks, the word of God and prayed with the children who came from three neighbouring churches.

3.  CMM Prisons Ministry.

CMM has continued with the monthly visits to different prisons, which ministry has seen very many souls turn to Christ. We have always given out a few bibles to some inmates and prison wardens that are able to read them. In the month of September, we visited three police cells where we attended to a total of 56 suspect with words of encouragement, preached to them and prayed with them as well. 18 gave their lives to Christ 3 of whom were Muslims. Here we were not permitted to take any photos as it is at times the rule.

In June 2018, CMM received a donation of 100 Bibles in 3 different languages English, Lunyankole and Lukiga. This gave us the opportunity to put Bibles in places where they have always been requested especially for the inmates (prisoners)to read during their free times and also encourage each other with the word of God. We gave Bibles to Kasangati prison, Butalejja  prison, Mbarara prison, Buikwe prison, Buwambo prison, Rukunjiri prison, Ntungamo prison, Kakiika prison, Kira road police post .

4. The Bible training school (C-TBS).

4th November was the graduation of the 17 students who completed the Old Testament at Deliverance church Mukono. The 17 students are from four different churches.

11th-November was the graduation for the New Testament class at God’s center of blessings church Bweyogerere. 24 students from 6 different churches successfully completed and were awarded certificates.

Both occasions were filled with joy and excitement, the students usually invite their close relatives and friends to witness this powerful achievement and afterwards the graduates, teachers and other guests share a meal together as part of celebrating the achievement

Testimonies

Each of the students has a powerful story / testimony to share. Most especially the pastors have confessed that their approach in preparing and presenting their sermons (messages) has been so much changed having gone through the training.

All the students including those who have been ministering for over 10 years tell that this is the first time they are reading and getting a good understanding of the scriptures.

Biblical studies

One of the key challenges we face today as the church in Uganda and Africa at large is the teaching of the “prosperity gospel”. This kind of teaching does not put emphasis on discipleship training. The inductive approach in bible study courses has a big role it plays in discipling the church thus proving an answer to the key need in our church today.

And now we start looking forward to the 2019 bible training classes that are scheduled to start mid-March. Please keep praying with us as we start the planning and recruiting the students.

We as CMM are very thankful to the Lord for being part of what He is doing in the nation. We thank all our supporters and prayer partners. Your role in these ministries is key. Thank you very much.
