CML Resource Center

Apart from providing facilities for the CML Annual Discipleship Camps, the CML Resource Center is envisioned to house the following:

1. CML Library
2. CML Computer Training Center
3. Boys and Girls Dorms
4. Discipleship and Leadership Programs
5. CML Administrative Headquarters
6. Conference Facilities
7. Youth Counseling Center

A portion of land has been donated by two elders in the Kitere Community for the purpose of developing the CML Resource Center. The land is located off Rongo/Migori Road near Kitere Glory Community Assembly Hall. The plot has been fenced in readiness for the project. Construction would commence once funds are ready for Phase 1 of the project. Donations and financial contributions are welcome and appreciated to see this project commence. Any biblical and legal fundraising ideas are also welcome.


Meanwhile, we are very grateful for the partnership CML has with Glory Community Ministry (GCM). Through this partnership, GCM has permitted us the use of part of the Kitere Community Assembly Hall for temporary CML Resource Centre at a minimal monthly rate, until the CML Center is developed and ready for use. So far, we have done the partitioning to make room for the Boys and Girls Dorm, CML Library, Computer Training Room, Students’ Lounge and CML Administrative Head Office. We plan to be able to accommodate 16 boys and 16 girls in the temporary Dorms.


To get the Temporary CML Resource Center furnished for optimal use, we need the following items:

1. Bed and Bedding for the Boys and Girls Dorm
2. At least 2 Desktop Computers
3. Library Shelves, Desks and Chairs
4. Furniture for the Students Lounge
5. Dining Tables & Chairs

Once the CML Resource Center in complete, we believe we would be able to facilitate the holistic transformation of students/youth in this area more effectively.

We ask for your prayers and financial support to bring this project to completion.
