Faithful to the Work in Uganda

Greetings Ministry Partners,

Commitment, consistency, and genuine concern for others are essential to fruitful ministry in God's kingdom. The work is not always easy, but God faithfully strengthens those who continue serving despite difficult circumstances.

Throughout July, we saw this perseverance as CCI continued equipping ministry leaders across Uganda. Training expanded in the Sebei region, Jinja, and western Uganda, enabling more pastors and church leaders to deepen their understanding of God's Word and become better equipped to serve their churches and communities. We praise God for each leader who remains committed to learning, teaching, and making disciples.

Thank you to our faithful donors and prayer partners who make this work possible. Through your generosity and prayers, ministry leaders throughout Uganda are receiving biblical training that strengthens churches and prepares believers to share the gospel with others. We are grateful for your partnership in advancing God's kingdom.

In His service,

Andrew and Juliet Wakabi

Testimony

"My name is Cherotich Fred. I serve as a pastor at Gospel Baptist Church in Kapchorwa and as a student at the CCI Sebei campus. I am so thankful to God for the opportunity to study seven courses and participate in two seminars.

Book 1 was about Bible interpretation. Here, I learned that an incorrect observation leads to an incorrect interpretation, which in turn leads to an incorrect application. Book 2 was the Old Testament Survey. Here, I learned that the Old Testament is all about God and the children of Israel. We looked at the Pentateuch, the Mosaic books, the judges, and many other books. The characters portray God's sovereignty through nature and humanity. We also learned how the prophets foretold the coming Messiah, who would redeem man from sin. From Genesis, God prepared the way to redeem man from sin (Genesis 3:15).

Book 3 was the New Testament Survey. Here, we see the prophecy fulfilled in Christ Jesus. The gospel is all about the conception, birth, life, crucifixion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The last course, Book 7, was about Church Ministry, Administration, and Education. Here, we looked at the key practices of the New Testament church, including topics such as divorce, fellowship, finances, and more.

The two seminars we completed covered conflict resolution and financial management. In conflict resolution, we learned that the best way to resolve conflicts is through a biblical approach. We are supposed to follow the model of Jesus Christ in Matthew 18. Conflict resolution should be directed toward the glory of God rather than personal gain.

In financial management, I learned that it is important for a servant of the Lord to avoid or control debt. If anyone has debt, it is important to communicate with the lender and begin repayment by addressing the highest-interest debts first. I plan to teach these financial management sessions not only to our church congregation but also to the public through financial literacy programs."

New Class

Coordinator Abraham Koche started a new class at Cornerstone Christian Center in Budaka Town Council, Budaka District, Western Uganda.

Training

I conducted a God's Financial Policies (GFP) seminar with the Sebei class on July 31. It was a very eye-opening seminar for all 19 pastors who are undergoing the training. The seminar revealed and taught many biblical truths that had been a challenge for most ministries.

Ministry Promotion

On July 11, Pastor Roy, who coordinates CCI's ministry in western Uganda, and I traveled to Kyaka Village in Butera Town, Kyegegwa District. There, we conducted a vision-casting for 22 pastors and ministry leaders. The seminar was organized by Pastor Gatore Herve and held at MINEVAM Christian Church.

This community includes people from different ethnic groups and nationalities who are united by their faith in Jesus Christ. The believers have a great desire to be equipped and trained. The pastors and leaders responded positively to CCI's vision and leadership training strategy, sharing that this training could help meet a significant need among ministers in the region.

Various cults and false teachings have created spiritual confusion in the area, affecting individuals and churches. This need for sound biblical teaching was a major reason the pastors welcomed CCI's training program.

At the end of the one-day vision-casting, the pastors agreed to begin classes in October. We also plan to conduct a Teacher Training Workshop in the region as we continue identifying passionate and qualified pastors and teachers to lead the classes.
