They work tirelessly with youth, married couples, and other community leaders educating and advocating for women's Biblical equality.in 2022, these partners submitted reports showing much impact. The following are highlights from those reports. The women's conference in kamuli was initially meant only for women but was changed to include men because of how impactful the message had been at a pastoral training. One of the pastors said, "this training changed my life yesterday, and i want men to also hear and benefit from the message you have brought. A message of respect, dignity, love, and seeing women as great partners." The pastor training in bugiri was received with enthusiasm. Participants used Cbe's side by side booklet to discuss prominent bible verses in groups, which increased their ability to address the related texts. Most of the pastors have never been to seminary or a theological school. One pastor said, "i have finally been enlightened on ephesians 5:21-22." Then he started talking to his wife, also in attendance, about some key points in the presentation. The common response was that the training was a timely encouragement for the pastors to be a voice for the voiceless.the kaabong women's conference was a powerful conference attended by over ninety women under the theme "know your true identity." The women were very eager and enthusiastic. One of them said her "church faces challenges in ministry because they don't listen to her suggestions. She's often overlooked." She promised to challenge the men using the scripture she learned, especially genesis 1:26. By the end of the conference, the women appreciated themselves as made in god's image.male champion training in kaboong district, uganda, brought about a change in mindset and appreciation towards women. Discussion topics included positive masculinity, gender-based violence (gbv), early pregnancy, forced marriage, and women's participation/leadership in the church and community. The leader of scripture for kaboong's senior secondary school promised to continue with group discussions to better understand scripture that supports Equality between women and men using the side by side booklets given to them. He confessed he "learned a lot and promised to fight for girls' rights at school and in the community.
