Sharing the truth
About the ministry
Teacher Matthew Lee Ministries is Christ’s Heartbeat’s teaching daughter ministry, run by our founder Matthew Lee.
This ministry precedes the founding of CHMI and was founded in September 2016 when Matthew – led by the Spirit of the Lord – began his YouTube channel. Since its inception, there have been almost 1000 encouraging messages posted on the YouTube channel.
In July 2020, during the covid-19 pandemic, the Lord placed it on Matthew’s heart to begin a daily devotional video series, to encourage people during the challenging times. God gave him the title “From heaven at seven” for the series. From 2020-2022 Matthew Produced two full seasons of the series, totaling over 700 videos, which can be found on the Teacher Matthew Lee Facebook page and YouTube channel. After successfully completing two seasons of From Heaven at Seven, He began a weekly devotional series called the “Weekly Word of Encouragement “, which completed its second season in mid 2025.
However, the ministry has also expanded to include a variety of additional facets. CHMI have developed their own unique Soul Winning Workshop, called “Code RED” where they train up entire congregations in living a lifestyle of evangelism and how to be a more effective witness to those around us.
Teacher Matthew also works in partnership with Christian Family Church International. Since 2022 Matthew has been serving alongside their missions department to train and equip the CFCI pastors and congregations across the continent of Africa.
Matthew also preaches at various churches around the world, teaches pastors and leaders crucial church growth principles, and lectures some of the foundational courses and the 1st-3rd year subjects at various CFCI Bible College campuses.
In 2025 Matthew helped compile, establish and launch CFCI’s Leadership academy, under the guidance of his mentor – Dr Andre Wilmans. To date he continues his work for the Leadership Academy, training and equipping trainers. These trainers then reteach the Leadership Academy content to their congregations, in some of the most remote and unreached parts of the world. More on this to follow soon – keep an eye on our social media accounts…

Monique and I teaching Christian Growth Seminar and Biblical Foundations for Life together at CFC Brakpan, at the end of August and beginning of September...
.
While teaching on Biblical Foundations for Life, I taught on "Divine healing", and Monique taught on "What it means to be a disciple of Jesus".

When we taught Christian Growth Seminar, I taught on "Understanding some aspects of salvation" and Monique taught on "Water baptism" (and I helped her with one of the illustrations Dr Andre taught me, seen in the last picture).

What an awesome time we had, it's such a privilege to impart these powerful teachings into the lives of God's children - praise God!

Uganda August 2025 update
.
After a long day of travelling, from Kitale (Kenya) to Jinja (Uganda) on Saturday the 16th, Dr Andre and I settled into our new hotels. Dr Andre then preached on Sunday morning at CFCI Iganga – CFCI Uganda’s HQ. On Monday we took a rest day (my first rest day since I landed in East Africa on the 1st), before officially launching TW Leadership Academy on Tuesday the 19th.
.
Leadership Academy aims to cultivate a new generation of Christian leaders by grounding them in Biblical truth, deepening their faith, strengthening their character, and preparing them to lead in ministry, so that God's name may be glorified in every nation.
.
We conducted training over the course of three full days, from Tuesday to Thursday. We trained 101 CFCI pastors and leaders (from Uganda and Rwanda) to be Leadership Academy trainers. This was our biggest group of trainers yet – almost 4 times larger than any other group! We taught them our content, but more importantly we also taught them how to communicate the content, in a relevant and simple way for anyone to be able to understand. After completing the training, the trainers wrote a test on the content they were taught and were given their teaching assignments to complete over the course of the next year.
.
We look forward to seeing the success of the trainers’ teaching assignments over the next few months, as well as to return to Uganda next year to teach the content of semester 2!
.
On Friday the 22nd we had another off day, where I took the opportunity to do something a little touristy – I went white water rafting down the Nile. What an incredible experience!
.
On Saturday the 23rd, we travelled from Jinja to Entebbe, a 150Km trip that took us nearly 6 hours, because of Kampala traffic. On Sunday morning, we began the journey back home to RSA…

Kenya August 2025 update - 3 of 3
.
After returning to Kitale early in the morning on the 12th of August, Dr Andre and I launched the TW Leadership Academy in Kenya.
.
The goal of Leadership Academy is to reach the unreached, teach the untaught and to connect those who are disconnected, through life-giving, Biblical lessons - based on the teachings of Ap Theo Wolmarans. Leadership Academy aims to cultivate a new generation of Christian leaders by grounding them in Biblical truth, deepening their faith, strengthening their character, and preparing them to lead in ministry, so that God's name may be glorified in every nation.
.
We conducted training over the course of four full days, from Tuesday to Friday, where we trained 40 CFCI pastors and leaders to be Leadership Academy trainers. We taught them our content, but more importantly we also taught them how to communicate the content, in a relevant and simple way for anyone to be able to understand. After completing the training, the trainers wrote a test on the content they were taught and were given their teaching assignments to complete over the course of the next year.
.
We look forward to seeing the success of the trainers’ teaching assignments over the next few months, as well as to return to Kenya next year to teach the content of semester 2!
.
On Saturday the 16th, Bishop John drove Dr Andre and I to the Uganda border, where we were met by Apostle Peter, and moved on to Uganda for the next leg of our journey.
