Our Story
ABOUT THE ORGANISATION Founded in Uganda — C.C.M.I was started by God the Father through apostle Godfrey Kanyike Mulindwa Jr., as an evangelical and missionary Program called “Christ to Children”, ministering with a small community of the broken-hearted and the scared children in the slums and on the streets of Kampala City, helping them to find a refuge in Christ and standing behind their needs with love and humility on behalf of Christ. But after nearly two years in a random ministry where about 144 children were reached and of which 89 received Jesus as a personal Savior and Lord, God brought that Program to a conclusion and directed him to establish it into an Organization, and call it “CHRIST TO CHILDREN MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL”. [www.facebook.com/christochildrenministries] Across the globe, through evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, and missions this New Testament model ministry seeks to give every less-fortunate child from every background and cultural setting a place to belong to, build confidence and grow in faith. And we shall continually seek to reach these children by pursuing new locations and partnerships.
We thus invite you to become part of the life-changing challenge in this superb work of the Lord, and we earnestly desire to hear from you. ABOUT THE FOUNDER BORN AND GROWING up from a family with a life history of absolute poverty entwined with a haunting ancestral spirit of homelessness where apart from being made to work at the age of 8 years to earn and make ends meet; from my own personal childhood life experiences, I know just as anyone else, the challenges of being a poor and a needy child. The challenges includes: waking up from an improvised mattress made from a sisal sack filled with crown-grass/paspalum, very hungry with only a bristle in the mouth for a tooth-brush without hope of getting any meal. Engaging into hazardous and exploitative labor as the major source of support to one's tuition and the needs of one's juniors. Being over-beaten by other children workers and forced by the cruel and merciless masters and mistresses to carry heavy loads beyond one's level of ability and pace. Being overworked and indiscriminately paid a very small wage and sometimes cheated. Suffering from recurring illness and relying on the unreliable native herbs for cure. Being greatly immersed into a high sense of self-hatred and rebellion against one's individual self as a result of tiredness from the drudges of a wearisome living. Being stigmatized by one's peers, other children and the older people as a result of one's economic and social status. Being overwhelmed with repeated memories of worries of one's dreadful past and fears of the present and the future. Being subjected to great series of strains and stresses of life. Secluding oneself from other children and sit in a closed corner in great self-pity with arms crossed around one's neck or crossed together over the chest worrying about a wearisome living while they are engaging into traditional games such as riding on the "swing", going on "see-saw", taking lively rounds of "seek-n-find", involving into "scavenger hunt", "skip-n-jump" , and so on, which any child would not wish to miss. Above all, being engulfed with great feeling of being deserted by one's own Creator and left to be one's own shepherd, helper and strengthener that one gets into unbelief and despondence where Satan comes in and present God as lacking compassion and pity, that Satan draws one away from God as if He is an ogre or a monster, or falling into great despair and one asks himself/herself why he was born and wish his/her mother's lap would have been at the best his/her grave the moment he/she was born. That is what I under went as a poor and a needy unsupported child. [www.facebook.com/godfrey.kanyike.mulindwa.jr www.facebook.com/christochildrenministries.founder] Sincerely, the grievous lesson I learnt from my own difficult childhood life-line challenges my indifference and inspires the spirit of my heart with a great and ever growing unending passion to volunteer part of God-given time, talents, and financial treasures to the cause of improving on the quality of lives of my subsequent counterpart less-fortunate children, and enable them to be able to work even for the transformation of their families and communities to a better height. I believe there is nowhere on this planet will I find great satisfaction and joy than ministering with my subsequent counterpart less-fortunate children. For among such children I find solace a healing and pleasure for my broken and wound past childhood. Ever since the age of 24 in 1997, after my fall out of my ten-year unaided heavy primary six to university self-sponsorship, alongside building my own personal faith and nursing a long-term illness of on-and off severe and acute internal and external piles; I have been ministering with children. Ordinarily, I did this through secular and later on, spiritual levels of responsibility, which I have embraced and executed with great zeal, vigor, courage, compassion, tenacity and obedience. Really, I love children and the spirit of my heart gets touched and broken to see/hear a child of my previous age tasting the bitterness and the anger of being a poor/needy craving for life as I had experienced in my own dreadful and difficult childhood. I am, therefore, asking you to help me reach out to my full potentials among the less-fortunate children; by standing with me in terms of financial treasures or just piece of advice be it financial management or otherwise.
