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.

The Christian Model Ministries (CMM) Team

Dear friends and fellow labourers in Christ,
As Christian Model Ministries (CMM), we thank the Lord for all He has accomplished through us in April.
Below are some key highlights of the activities and developments within CMM during this period.

1. PRISON MINISTRY
CMM visited several prisons and won souls to Jesus Christ. We visited the following prisons, and below are the highlights:

a). Mbarara Main Prison
We visited the mentioned prison three times this month and ministered the gospel of love. A total of 194 inmates received in-depth teaching from the Word of God. After the Bible study sessions, we awarded certificates to those who had completed the Bible study program.
Christian Model Ministries (CMM) also provided each of the 194 prisoners with a personal Bible. Following this, numerous testimonies began to emerge, including experiences of inner healing, forgiveness, reconciliation with family members, spiritual growth, and renewed faith in God.
The prison administration expressed deep gratitude for the support we have extended to them. We also committed to providing sweater sewing machines as part of our continued assistance.
Please note that we barely have pictures for the ministry work in prisons because we were not allowed to take any pictures from most prisons.

b). Mbarara Women Prison
The ministry in the women’s prison was established to support spiritual growth and provide vocational skill development. The goal is to equip the women with practical skills that will benefit them both during their time in prison and after their release.

c). Isingiro Prison
Isingiro Prison was visited twice this month and is progressing well after receiving five sewing machines. A total of 245 Bibles were distributed, including 200 Gideon New Testament Bibles, 25 English Bibles, and 20 Runyankole–Rukiga Bibles.

d). Nyabirongo Prison Station
At this prison in Kasese, 127 inmates were ministered to, and approximately 112 gave their lives to Jesus Christ. Three books in the Lunande/Lukonzo language were donated to the prison.
Please note: Nyabirongo Prison Station now has an established church, which Pastor Richard Byamugisha is scheduled to open officially.

2. MEN’S MINISTRY

Mbarara District has experienced a significant outpouring of the Holy Spirit among men, leading to steady growth in the men’s ministry. Weekly fellowships have been consistently maintained, primarily in homes, and the ministry has now been successfully extended to two additional churches.

3. MISSION WORK

In partnership with Karugangama Church, the gospel was preached throughout Mbarara. A total of 25 missionaries were trained and sent into the field alongside our team. The outreach covered various locations, including schools, hospitals, markets, shops, bars, homes, quarries, and bodaboda stages.

Kind note: Approximately 117 individuals gave their lives to Christ during this mission. Discipleship efforts are ongoing, and Bibles are being provided to support their spiritual growth.

In Kasese, the group of Muslim Background Believers (MBB), now referred to as New Creatures, holds regular fellowship every Thursday, with participation from both men and women. During these gatherings, the following activities are carried out:

• Discussing how to live a transformed life
• Praying for one another
• Strategising and praying for evangelism efforts aimed at reaching the Muslim community with the message of Christ.
• Planning to cultivate a culture of saving.

Below are some of the outreach areas that CMM visited and led many to Jesus Christ.

4. CHILDREN’S MINISTRY

Regular meetings have continued at Karugangama, where children are actively learning and growing in their faith. Prayer and support efforts remain ongoing to nurture the children’s spiritual development.

Below are pictures of Junior and the children with whom CMM gave Bibles and prayed.

5. YOUTH MINISTRY

CMM conducted youth fellowships across multiple churches, fostering spiritual growth and engagement. A “Saving Project” was launched to promote financial responsibility among the youth. Additionally, a football match and an evangelism outreach through football were organised as part of community engagement efforts.

These initiatives are instrumental in building a strong sense of community and deepening the faith of young people. 

Below are some of the pictures showing youths during fellowships.

6. CHARITY

Food assistance was provided to 30 vulnerable families in Mbarara. The beneficiaries included widows, orphans, single mothers, the poor, and families whose primary breadwinners had lost their jobs. The distributed items included rice, posho, salt, soap, and beef.

Kind note: Each family received a complete package, and the joy and gratitude expressed by the recipients were truly heartwarming.

Below are pictures of Richard and Junior giving out food and other basic needs to families in Karugangama, Mbarara district.

7. BIBLE DONATION

By the abundant grace of God, a total of 827 Bibles were received from three different sources and distributed accordingly.

• A donation of 61 Kinandi Bibles was made to pastors serving in the mountainous regions of Kasese. Additionally, Bibles were distributed to 21 churches across various denominations, including Baptist, Pentecostal, and Anglican congregations.
• From Gideons International, we received 600 New Testament Bibles and 50 complete Bibles, which were donated to Mbarara Main Prison and Isingiro Prison.

8. HOSPITAL VISITS

A visit was made to Bwera Hospital, where ministry was carried out among patients experiencing both physical and spiritual challenges.

The hospital hosts a wide range of individuals, including those battling chronic illnesses and others in critical condition who are in need of divine intervention. During the outreach, approximately 300 people were reached, including those in the children’s ward, and around 280 gave their lives to Jesus Christ.

9. GOLDEN CARE SCHOOL

A Primary Three class was successfully introduced, and pupils are learning. We are grateful to report that two additional pupils have been included among the sponsored children. This development follows a mutual agreement between the Directors of Christian Model Ministries (CMM) and Golden Care School to extend support to two more underprivileged children, enabling them to access quality education.

The sponsored pupils have shown commendable dedication to their studies, with the majority achieving Division One results, which is a truly impressive performance. For the few who are still adjusting, there is optimism that they will catch up with their peers.

Additionally, the school management has recruited a male teacher specifically to support the newly established Primary Three class.

10. MINISTRY IN KARAMOJA

Christian Model Ministries (CMM) visited Worship Harvest Church in Kiremeezi, pastored by Bbumba Joshua, during a children’s camp where we were invited to minister to the children. The program featured Bible teaching, praise and worship, testimonies, colouring activities, and games; all aimed at nurturing children’s spiritual growth and engagement.

11. THE CHURCH BASED TRAINING IN BIBLICAL STUDIES ( C-TBS )

The C-TBS classes held at Uganda Polymath Training Institute and the Searchlight of God Church are currently studying the Book of Acts. Mukono Deliverance Church is currently learning from the book of Colossians, and we continue to receive very positive and encouraging feedback from the ministers.

As the ministers deepen their understanding and apply the principles of Bible observation and interpretation, they are learning and implementing much more. Many are sharing testimonies of restored relationships within their families, workplaces, and churches.

Those involved in preaching and teaching ministries have expressed how the C-TBS program has greatly simplified and strengthened their ministry efforts.

Below is a picture of Elder Senkumba Davis teaching the book of Colossians at one of the classes at Mukono Deliverance Church.

We sincerely thank all our friends and partners for your prayers, encouragement, and unwavering support for the various CMM ministries mentioned above. Your partnership means so much to us, and we deeply appreciate your commitment.

The C-TBS class at God’s Center of Blessing Church is currently studying 1&2 Kings. Studying thses books inductively has been such a big eye opener to our students. Many have confessed that they have done alot of teaching and preaching from these books without considering the historical background information which is so crucial to understanding /interpreting of these books.

And being able to see how these books relate to the ” major and minor prophets” in the old testament has made our study more exciting.

Uganda Polymath Technical Institute

A class of young men and women trained by Odyssey Technologies mainly in areas of computer software development skills have slotted a biblical training class with C-TBS and shall be starting soon ( during this month)

The team consists of church ministers and other upcoming church ministers.

We C-TBS will be conducting the bible study class along side this team and we are very much looking forward to this. Please keep praying for this class too for its starting very soon.

We thank you so much for your continous support and prayers for us.

God bless you.

THE MAN WALK

Christian model ministries in partnership with the Anglican church in Mbarara, Ankole Diocese to be specific organized a YEAR OF MEN with different activities tailored to help men come or return to church and back to their families.

THE BACKGROUND ABOUT THE YEAR OF MEN

We wrote a letter in 2023 appealing to churches to join the crusade of bringing men to their positions. The letters were accepted by the Anglican administration and the plan kicked was kicked off with the designation of 2024 as the YEAR FOR MEN AND THE BOY CHILD.

Different activities were designed and highlighted like, the matching in MBARARA CITY, THE MARATHON, THE CONFERENCES and others.

Ankole diocese embraced it and made its running in their 584 churches.

On 15^th April, we matched in the city with the band and great music calling all the men to come back to their responsibilities. We were led by the Bishop of Ankole Diocese Rt. Rev. Sheldon Mwesigwa. The walk attracted around 5000 men and 1000 boys from different schools. The walk was so significant and so many people accepted Jesus. We hope to raise the same awareness in different churches and Dioceses.

We plan to continue to walk 300km between Mbarara city to Kampala city to create awareness in the whole country.

CHURCH BASED TRAINING IN BIBLICAL STUDIES (C- TBS)

It’s is such a great opportunity to be able to study and teach the word of God to the church in Uganda.

Currently, we are having two classes and both are going on very well.

We have a class at God’s Centre of Blessings Bweyogerere, now studying the book of numbers. And another class at Kagoma studying the book of Genesis.

We are always recieving encouraging testimonies and feedback from the students.

Most of them sharing how the Bible class has simplified and motivated their church sermon preparation and presentation.

Long Distant C-TBS classes

Please keep praying with us, we are considering taking this Bible training course to distant places, currently looking at western and eastern Uganda.

We already received some invitations from some of the Pastors in those areas. we had hesitated mostly because of the involved costs and other logistics.

But now we are venturing in a distant Bible training class say later this year or early 2025.

CMM Team

Dear friends and co-workers in Christ. Greetings to you all. Thankyou for your continuous prayers and encouragement to us. This is our latest ministry report.

PRISON MINISTRY

MBARARA MAIN PRISON

We were allocated every Wednesday to meet the inmates especially the sexual offenders section. It started like a class but later became a church where salvation and deliverance is preached every Wednesday. We thank God for the opportunity to help prisoners understand the value of the life that Jesus paid for on the cross.

KYAZANGA PRISON

On Good Friday we visited Kyazanga prison to celebrate the death of Christ on the cross for us. We carried food and drinks. We preached the gospel. We prepared a meal, beef and rice, and fed 150 prisoners with the prion wardens. Then we preached the gospel of hope and 139 prisoners gave their lives to Christ and majority of them were Muslims.

CENTRAL POLICE STATION MBARARA

Mbarara central police station has also been a wide door opened for our ministry every Saturday of the week and by God’s grace we have been able to minister diligently. Through the month of March, around 200 souls came to Christ. Very many get released and we hook up with them. We bless the Almighty for the open door to increase the population of heaven as we depopulate hell.

FAMILY MINISTRY.

We started a family ministry that deals with marriages, youth, children, women and men. We have weekly meetings for men and women and the Lord has transformed so many lives thus restoring marriages. This month alone we held 6 men’s fellowships in different churches and 4 women meetings. CMM has trained people as leaders to start more small groups of men and women in different churches since the hunger and thirst for them is too much.

We also held marrieds’ fellowship that brought 64 couples for a full day. We had a great day talking about how to build the marriages that God desires. Many people opened up on the issues that are killing their marriages and are still reconciling in the subsequent meetings.

During one of the family gatherings held

HOME VISITS FOR PRAYER ALTARS

We introduced home prayer altars in response to people’s call for home visits. so, we partnered with Karugangama church and had a full month visiting different homes every morning fellowshipping and praying with them. Each of the home visited could invite their neighbors regardless of the denomination. Many people have come to Christ including Muslims. We hope to adopt the visits at least twice a week because the 28 families we visited didn’t remain the same again.

RADIO MINISTRY

We have been blessed to have the gospel preached on REVIVAL RADIO found in Mbarara city in Western Uganda. We were given the 2 hours to talk about the TOPIC; BOY CHILD. We used the opportunity to help families bring men and boys back to their position which the devil pulled them from. We had a beautiful moment and got feedback from the listeners in the last 30 minutes of the session.

CHURCH BASED TRAINING IN BIBLICAL STUDIES ( C-TBS )

We are currently running two classes. At Kagoma, we are running a bible class once every week. This class has young men and women learning skills in computer software under a company called Odyssey Technologies.

Most of the students in this class are also ministers and leaders in the various churches where they come from. We have a group that is very eager to learn and always make very good contributions especially during the class discussions.

And the old testament class at the God’s Center of Blessing Church currently studying the book of Exodus. This is a group of pastors and church ministers from various churches who completed to New Testament in 2023.

This year 2024 on the 9th June, we shall be giving out certificates ( Graduating) to the students who completed the New Testament and the Old Testament in 2023. We would usually give out such certificates in the same year that the students finish but we got caught up with a number of things last year so we did push the graduation for both classes this year.
