All Hope Is Not Lost! CLI Is an Answer to Prayer!
Hello! My name is Modupe Timothy from Nigeria in West Africa. I am a student at the Christian Leaders Institute for ministry and theological education (Learn more about studying the Bible online, Click Here).
My Story
I am a passionate lover of God since the age of 14. God called me through an irresistible self-evident conviction and personal revelation to serve in the Lord’s vineyard. Married to a pastor, I support him in the work of the ministry.
Despite all challenges and constraints, I always hoped, longed, and prayed for an opportunity to have a formal education and most importantly to acquire deeper theological knowledge. Further, I want to be effective, competent, and confident in my calling and divine assignment as a ministry servant and Life Coach.
Through the Holy Spirit, while searching online for an affordable seminary, I found the Christian Leaders Institute. CLI is indeed incredibly amazing! I believe God inspired the establishment of CLI for people like me. Certainly, all hope is not lost! I am eternally grateful to God and the leadership of CLI for this ministry and theological education opportunity. May the Lord bless and strengthen you more and uphold you to the end! In Jesus’ name.
Furthermore, my 36-year journey and walk with the Lord Jesus has been incredibly amazing. I love Him so much and will give up everything in the world to belong to and identify with Him. Also, my passion is great for sharing His incomprehensible love with the world. Most certainly my encounter with CLI will make a remarkable difference in my life and calling and also enhance my credibility as a minister of the gospel of Christ.

Answering God’s Call
My name is Benjamin Artman, and I live in the rural city of Payette, Idaho. Recently, I found the Christian Leaders Institute for online tuition-free Bible courses (Learn more about studying the Bible online, Click Here).
My Journey
I joined the Army after a short try at college after graduation from high school. I found I was greatly lacking self-discipline. You see when I was younger we did not attend church regularly if at all. My first introduction to God was at our school bus stop which was located in a church parking lot. That was where God planted the seed, that over what seemed like a long arduous journey, would lead to my repentance, salvation, and calling into ministry.
Finding Tuition Free Online Bible Courses at CLI
I am still not certain where God wants to use me. However, I want to obtain as much knowledge as I can so I may be fully equipped for the challenges and spiritual warfare that lies ahead of me. It was a blessing to find the Christian Leaders Institute with an “at my pace” program that not only is affordable but has minimal fees if any. Tuition-free Bible courses allow me to take that potential burden out of the equation while providing for my family. With that hurdle removed, I am able to start immediately, instead of having to put it off indefinitely.
I am fired up to be used in many different roles as God guides me along the way. My desire is to bring as many people as possible the Good News. I am so thankful that the Christian Leaders Institute has this ministry. Further, I can’t wait to pay it forward within the Institute, the Kingdom, and the world.

My Story, Walk, and Journey into Ministry
Hi! My name is Zoya M. Thompson. I am thankful for the training in the Bible and ministry at the Christian Leaders Institute (Learn more about studying the Bible online, Click Here). I minister, therefore, I am a minister for the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for this training opportunity!
My Story
I am a mother of six beautiful children: three boys and three girls. I’m also a wife to an amazing, outgoing husband. Louisiana is not where we originated from, but Louisiana is our home now. Throughout life, my studies consisted of basic Grammar School, High School, and some college under my belt. Being a Christian Leaders student here in Louisiana, I found it very fascinating to know that there are so many believers who support me and also want to become a student at CLI.
My childhood was very unique. Growing up, we never knew the difference between rich and poor. Our parents always made sure we had everything that was needed including a foundation in God. My mother always provided the love, nurture, and guidance we needed through the different stages of our lives. Although my biological father was absent, God sent a stepfather into our lives.
There, he taught us how to become women and to respect our bodies and mind even at an early age.
Jesus Christ was always around me. Sometimes, I would play and talk by myself, but I was never alone. My mother always had us in the church whether it was with her or a family member. Our foundation was firm in the Lord. We knew Jesus Christ and we lived by Him.
My Walk: For Such a Time as This
As I grew, I wanted more of God. So, sometimes even when my parents didn’t go to service, I found a way to be there. I finally realized that in this life you can’t make it without God. When my adulthood began, I was on the praise dance team and joined the choir. However, it was during the pandemic that I realized God was preparing me for more. I had a group of women who would come by, and I encouraged, prayed, and ministered to them. That’s when I knew I was chosen for such a time as this.
God gave me different dreams, good and bad. One was during the first stage of the pandemic, I was walking through a hospital with a covering over my head. It was a royal purple color. Everyone around me was sick or hurt. However, while the covering was on me, they couldn’t see me. God sent me someone to interpret that dream. That person said that “God was showing me that I was covered and that I should continue to do what I was doing and move forward.”
Different Obstacles and God’s Provision
I’ve faced many different obstacles in my life. Some good and some bad. From leaving the house too early and fast to getting married at an early age; to facing every abuse one could name physical, emotional, verbal, and mental abuse; and hiding from my loved ones. I watched myself go into a place of uncertainty. However, God was only shaping and molding me into the woman I am today – grateful, thankful, and humbled. I realized after my second marriage that I needed God. I would not make it out in my right mind if I didn’t have Him.
One time, I asked God if He could show me how to provide and make Covid masks for my children, family, and friends. Not only did He show me, but God also provided the machine, fabric, and all. I also remember during that time that I sat at the table making masks and listening to Gospel music. One time, the song was, “Let Me Touch You” by Kirk Franklin & Family. I reached out my hand and The Holy Spirit touched me!!! Right then and there, I knew that I wanted more of God and to live His way only.
I began to read the Bible more and more, worshipping and praising God. Even my children witnessed God’s glory for themselves. We all started to have visions and dreams. For me, when I spoke or talked to someone, I could see everything they mentioned. It was amazing!
Journey into Training in the Bible and Ministry at CLI
The Christian Leaders training will equip me more for this journey that God has chosen me for. Christian Leaders Institute is a blessing to me. I never would have dreamed of going back to college let alone receiving training in the Bible and ministry. It’s truly a blessing, especially in the times we are living in. So, when The Holy Spirit led me to CLI’s site, it was truly a moment to say, “But God!!”
So, thank you Christian Leaders Institute for not only spreading the Gospel but also teaching and training God’s children! God bless you!!
