On Wednesday, July 11, 2007, God provided an open door for the members of CML to minister to the girls at Dede High School. On behalf of the Christian Union, Mrs. Karen Muma who heads the school's Counseling department welcomed all of the members with open arms.
The girls were so excited to share their presentations with their peers and with the CML team. The presentations at Dede were mostly poems and narratives. The team was blessed by one student in particular who shared a creative and expressive narrative concerning relationships and HIV/AIDS.
The CML team enjoys ushering in the Presence of the Lord with a few praise and worship melodies. All are blessed as the students also lift their voices to praise our Heavenly Father.
A message was shared by Sister Denise Davenport educating the young girls on sexual purity and protecting themselves from HIV/AIDS. She read Scripture from Song of Songs 3:5, "...Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires." (NIV). Sister Denise shared that it is important for young girls not to "arouse" their sexual desires until inside the godly marriage covenant.
It soon began to rain and the meeting in the open air under the beatiful trees came to and end. The mission team were ushered into the the staff room as the students dispersed for supper. The team enjoyed a fabulous dinner provided by the school. After dinner, the students were invited to join the team for a one-on-one counseling session. Many of the girls accepted the invitation and came seeking guidance and advice on a variety of issues and challenges including HIV/AIDS, relationships, peer pressure, self-esteem, among others. The Spirit was ministering in a great way. Both the team and the students were blessed. We trust that God will continue to manifest His Presence at Dede Girls' High School.
In this mission, the CML partnered with a team from the Missions and Oureach department of NPC Buruburu. As the day's Master of ceremony, Sister Amani Muhonja began by introducing the Mission team.

A powerful teaching of the afternoon was delivered by Sister Margaret Mwenga. Pastor Margaret shared with the girls about Self-esteem. The message covered what self-esteem is, what self-esteem is not and the make-up of human beings including physical, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects. The Word of God was shared from Genesis 1:26,27, " Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.' So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and 
female he created them."(NIV)
After the message, Pastor Margaret led the young girls in a prayer to receive Christ. Many girls at Dede made the decision to follow Christ that day.
