November – December Update

We praise the Almighty God for the far He has bought us and we say Ebeneezer. God granted us an opportunity to minister to the souls of many and reach to them with the acts of Great
love.

LIRA DENTAL OUTREACH.

Lira is found in Northern Uganda 324km from Kampala City. It’s a district composed of low income earning peasants. Lira city is the capital of Lango sub region which is surrounded by districts like Dokoro, Aleptong, Oyam and Apac districts. The people from that region are called the Langi. In this outreach, we fully sponsored the medical part and our partner, Pastor Aguma Basil of Saints Harvest Church helped with our welfare. We worked on 154 dental cases for (2) two days on 15th and 16th November 2019 with 4 dentists. Many of the above cases were extractions with few cases of referral. Being in urban setting. Many people were coming from the above mentioned neighboring districts.

Bible distribution.

On 9th December 2019, we visited pastors from the mountains of Rwenzori in Western Uganda. We gave them 40 Bibles in the Kinandi language. Kasese is 371 km from Kampala city. Its inhabitants are Bakonzho. We got a report that many pastors who occupy the Mountain lack Bibles. So we responded by giving 40 Bibles as a Christmas gift to 40 churches. Some pastors walked 16 miles to come and receive Bibles. It was Joy immeasurable for that part of the village. We hope to visit them again and add more Church Bibles and Minister to them medically.

C-TBS CLASS UPDATE.

By the time we graduated the O.T and N’T classes late October / Early November, we had started a new class This consists of only pastors all from around bweyogerere. A good number of pastors in this area had already done the C-TBS, but the other remaining ones requested that we meet with and teach them every Tuesday from 8am to 10am. We have been with this group since the beginning of November.

A bunch of 26 pastors who are currently learning the inductive approach and studying the new testament.

We have received very encouraging testimonies, many had never read or preached from the book of philemon until of recent when they went through this book with us.

One of the pastors had started writing a book and had given up but three weeks in their course, she picked on where she had left her book two years ago. She says that this course opened her eyes and simplified her approach in continuing with her book.

Many are now confessing that their approach in searching for Sunday sermons has changed as they now have plenty to preach and teach in their churches.

We as staff are finding this a very interesting class as we interact with individuals on a regular basis as they can right away relate what is going on in their churches, and communities etc.

ctbs

The pastors’ class.

Please keep us in your prayers with this on going class.

And now around this time, we are also starting to visit different churches and encourage all church ministries to join our expected 2 bible classes due to start beginning of March.

CMM staff members are out doing many things, ministering in prisons, hospitals, schools, churches, children, praying and encouraging individuals.

We thank all our friends who are standing with us in prayers and supporting this work financially. May the Lord richly bless you.

Happy new year.

C-TBS GRADUATIONS.

The new testament class which has been running since March graduated on Sunday 27th/October/2019 with 19 students from 5 different churches. The occasion took place in a Sunday church service at Mukono Deliverance church. This is a time of celebration and good testimonies from the students who have been working so hard studying inductively every book of the new testament.

PhotoGrid_1574278428335

The TUPS team from Victoria Canada were our guests of honor on that day and they gave out certificates to the graduands.

Afterward, we shared a meal with the students and their guests.

The O.T class, on the other hand, had 13 of the students that successfully completed the study of the old testament. This class was running at God’s center of blessings Chruch but the 13 students came from 4 different churches.

The occasion took place during a Sunday church service on 10th/October/2019.

We are so grateful to the Lord for the contribution of these bibles courses towards the discipleship of the Nation of Uganda.

PhotoGrid_1574243121941

Training of pastors and ministers at their locations allows them to continue with their routine work as they study each book of the Bible using the inductive approach. This is such a powerful and very effective discipleship tool in our churches today.

We are so thankful to the Lord for all the friends that stand with us in prayers and financially as this enables us as staff to continue doing our work more effectively.

Thank you so much.

September Update

Karamoja Ministry

Christian Model Ministries together with Divine Care Ministries went to Karamoja for two weeks.  The total number of missioners was 76. We camped at Koblin in Napak district for 4 days. Koblin is the resettlement area for street children got from Kampala and other cities, rehabilitated before sending them back to their respective homes or schools. Those four days were for fasting and prayers, seeking God for direction and spiritual mapping. We later dispersed to different directions into 7 groups.

Traveling to Karamoja

The entire team comprised of 16 members and we went to a village called DUOL. It is a very virgin place for the gospel. The place has no church, shop, school..

WhatsApp Image 2019-10-17 at 23.24.22

Morning Devotion

Each day had a different arrangement that ranged from discipleship, door to door evangelism, Children ministry, women groups, men meetings, open-air gospel crusades and one on one canceling.

Traveling to remote areas for evangelism.

While visiting the Manyattas (communities), we realized that people were in the bounty harvest for crops like maize (corn), sunflower, and sorghum (their staple food). Their cows were also looking good and giving them milk, in other words, there was no famine that whole year which is quite uncommon.

WhatsApp Image 2019-10-17 at 23.24.21

Having a good time with the kids

We spent 10 days in DUOL and we achieved the following;

  • 169 people came to Christ.
  • We started four home churches and another congregational church to combine all.
  • 37 people were descipled to will run the home churches and pastor the community.
  • A model pit latrine for the community in Nasinyonoit was constructed. The community of 80 people was using the bush, so they promised to build more pit latrines for hygiene.
  • Prayed for different people for healing and deliverance.
  • We reconciled communities and families who were at war.

Dental Outreach.

CMM In partnership with Mulago dental school which provided 13 dentists held a dental outreach at Christian Family Church Bulenga on 26th September.

Dental ministry.

That place has so many vulnerable people who live a low-class life in slums and such services are so hard for them to reach. We attended to 31 people with extractions and referrals. 3 people came to Christ as a result.

Police Ministry.

With a theme of forgiveness as read in Mathew 18:21-32, CMM visited Seeta police post twice in the month of September. We realized that the theme carried heavy deliverance into the lives of the suspects.

One particular suspect was 21 years old by the names of Ssemakula Moses. He came to know his biological father two years ago after being abandoned since his childhood. He feels so bitter for his biological dad for not being considerate and throwing him to another family. And to his mom for hiding a precious secret for all that long. His question was; ‘Can I forgive such people?’ By God’s grace, he accepted Jesus in tears and forgave his parents.

C-TBS Class.

End of October is usually an exciting time for the C-TBS classes. Both classes will be winding up and graduating.

27th-October, the Mukono N.T class will be graduating and the graduation occasion will take place at Mukono Deliverance church. Currently, this class is winding up with the study of the book of revelation.

The old testament class is completing their studies on the books of the “minor prophets” and this class will be graduating on the 10th of November.

The pastors’ class at Bweyogerere.

Some few months back, The Bweyogerere pastors that meet every Tuesday morning, This group of pastors invited us (C-TBS) to take them through this course. The idea is that they (the senior pastors) would be trained by themselves and not mix them with any of their junior ministers.

5 weeks ago, we started this exciting bible class with this group of pastors and it is going on well.

Please keep praying for this bunch of 27 pastors. Each of them has a big congregation he is heading. We are now looking at the bible training course making a big impact on so many congregations in the whole area of Bweyogerere and Kira.

We are so thankful to the Lord for all the friends who are praying with us and supporting the CMM work in Uganda.

August Update.

We praise God for yet another month (the month of August) that was full of great activities/ministries. Like the previous months, August had more of prison ministry.

KASANGATI PRISON

Kasangati is frequently visited because the prison administrators gave us a wide reception. Our permission is just a call away. During the previous visits, the prison administrators told us that the problem they have is hygiene and so we could help them with soap and sanitary pads for women. So the Lord gave us the word of knowledge towards the problem by making reusable sanitary pads. Luckily enough, some of our very own CMM members knew how to make them so we had to purchase the materials for teaching the prison women how to make sanitary pads. So on 8th August 2019, we went to Kasangati prison and trained them on how to make their own sanitary pads. 23 prisoners and 2 prison officers learned. Amidst training, the gospel of hope was being preached.

KALANGALA PRISON

Kalangala district is an island district and geographically under the not easy to reach areas of Uganda both in social services and the gospel. The Lord prompted us to visit the prisoners as we look for other avenues of the gospel in that land. We traveled on the ferry on 9th August 23, 2019. While on the ferry, we preached the gospel to some of the passengers. Along the whole journey, God spoke to us and we saw great opportunities for the gospel. The next day we went to the prison and found out that it comprised of very traumatized and hard criminals arrested from other neighboring islands, landing sites, and the mainland. We preached the gospel of forgiveness in Matthew 18 and 16prisoners gave their lives to Christ, 6 confessed their sins loud and clear to their fellow prisoners. We donated to them 15 Bibles and 2 boxes of soap, each containing 25 bars.

C-TBS Report

The old testament class

This class is currently studying (and near completion) 1 +2 Kings. These as mentioned before are studied as one book. Just because 2nd kings is a continuation of the 1st kings story.

2nd kings has been so exciting, eye opening to our students. For the students to be able to relate the back ground information like the captivities of Israel and Judah by Syria + Babylon, the years when those events are taking place, the prophets and their timely messages to both Israel and Judah at different times and how all this relates with the other prophets books etc. It has been such a big eye opener and interesting lesson to our class around this time.

IMG_20190804_171238

.

The New testament class

Here we completed the study of the book of Romans and currently just concluded 1+2 Corinthians. Our students especially having studied the book of Acts are now getting a lot more from the study of the Epistles.

Both classes are exciting and interesting. Please keep praying for these classes for the students and staff in any way the Lord may lead you.

The CMM Sponsored Children

These are soon taking a three weeks break which will lead into the third and final term for this year. We are receiving very positive and encouraging feedback in regards to the performance of all the CMM sponsored children.

We have had some few cases children getting sick during the 2nd term mostly wit typhoid and Malaria but God is good, they are all well and continuing with their studies.

June Update

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.

Nyimbwa prison is located in Luwero district one and half hours north of Kampala. Here, we ministered to 184 prisoners and gave away 16 bibles to them.

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.

Main entrance to Kauga prison

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.

One of the family fellowships.

C-TBS.

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.

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.

Olson Girls Short-term Mission Trip to Uganda

Hello everybody!

My name is Laura and I recently travelled to Uganda with my sister, Erin.

Laura with Young Child

We both had the chance to travel and witness the inner workings of Christian Model Ministries.

While in Uganda, Erin and I toured the various ministries that Christian Model Ministry (CMM) was involved with. This included prisons, churches, children AIDs centers, and youth hubs. We had the opportunity to not only witness these programs, but to also be involved with them.

Erin with School Children

The Saturday program we were able to visit was very inspiring. This program was for children afflicted by AIDS. It helped to treat the children, while providing financial support for their education and even extra help with academics. They also hosted the children every Saturday, teaching the children songs, Bible stories and games. We had the opportunity to help teach them and then serve the kids lunch. We then had time to play with the kids and just have lots of fun with them! It was so great getting to know the kids!

Laura With Children

We had the opportunity to travel to western Uganda to be apart of an international Christian convention. While we were there, we assisted with the children’s program. I, Laura, had the chance to teach a class of twelve children under six years old. It was a fun challenge to teach children that did not speak any English. The children were so welcoming and eager to listen to all that we had to share. This was definitely one of my favourite days of the entire trip.

Erin PReaching

During the convention, we attended the youth oriented portion. We were very excited to hear about the journeys and adventures of the main speaker and some of the youth. However, the youth part of the convention attracted many children, even though there was no program planned for them. We were asked to help entertain the children, and this was definitely a huge highlight.

I, Erin, had worked at a children’s camp the previous summer and so I had I learned many silly campfire songs. I got to teach the 100+ kids a couple silly songs and even how to play “Simon Says.” The language barrier appeared to be nothing as we thrived together, singing our hearts out.

Chilling in the City

We also had the pleasure of spending time with Dan’s wonderful family. We spent time playing soccer, frisbee, basketball, and cuddling their baby, Timothy. Every meal provided an opportunity to converse and gain a deeper understanding of the local culture. The Muwanguzi family became our Ugandan family. We sure miss them all!

Cooking in Uganda

Travelling with Richard

Overall, our favourite part of this trip with meeting all the people. We adored our time getting to know the people from CMM and the many others we were lucky to meet.

Uganda was a beautiful country, definitely including the safari we went on, and we will definitely miss it.

We are so excited to continue to pray for and support CMM, and see how the organization grows and positively influences the community.

April update

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.
