Finally Finding Free Ministry Training at CLI
Hello! My name is James Porkpah. My story is about finding the way to God and finding free ministry training at the Christian Leaders Institute (Learn more about Bible courses and ministry training online, Click Here). I live in Monrovia, Liberia.
I was born in “Naama, Bong County,” located in the northern part of Liberia. I’m the oldest of one brother and three sisters. My father was an employee at Firestone Plantation, and my mother was a stay home mom. My father died when I was fourteen years of age.
Youth Struggles
I finished high school in 1982 and things got difficult in life. I mingled with friends, and we drank alcohol, smoked, and went to many entertainment centers. Sadly, I messed up with the wrong friends and corrupt people in general. My life spiraled out of control entirely. It happened not once, not twice, but many times in the past 30 years.
Encounters with Jesus
In 1984, a friend of mine disappointed me when he denied me my share of the proceeds from a mineral digging project we ventured into. Frustrated and on my way back to Monrovia, I heard a voice, “James, James, keep on going.” This voice was very strange to me.
Then, in 1990, another friend of mine and I were seeking a job and went to a man of God for prayer. The man of God told my friend that he would be employed. However, he told me that I was chosen by the Lord to work for Him. Then, I thought of the voice that spoke to me in 1984. What the man of God told us happened. My friend received the job, and I left to work for the Lord.
I needed Jesus, my Lord, in my life! When the man of God said to me, “You have been chosen by the Lord.” I accepted the call and the Lord became real to me. When I started working for the Lord, things became positive for me and my family.
My Spiritual Dream
My spiritual dream is to help others to know Christ. I also dream of bringing God’s message of peace to families, churches, communities, countries, and continents. Being a good steward, I hope to use my Christian Leaders Institute training in my ministry dream. It will help me be an equipped Christian Leader for bringing God’s gospel of peace to all nations.
After finding free ministry training at CLI, I enrolled as I could not afford to pay for a college education. One day, I searched the internet and found the Christian Leaders Institute. So, here I am, I am so thankful for the opportunity to study at CLI and become an equipped Christian Leader. It is a lifelong dream come true. I want to thank God Almighty for giving me the chance of a lifetime fulfilling the dream He has given me.
