Big Dreams for Small Groups
My name is Tony Hull, and I am excited to receive free education in ministry online at CLI. I was born and raised in the USA in a small rural town in Indiana. I grew up in the church. However, I did not truly come to know the Lord until my sophomore year of college. It wasn’t long after I began walking with the Lord that I started getting heavily involved with my local church. It was during this time I met my wife, and we began serving together.
A couple of years after we married, our pastor asked us if we would start a small group for younger couples in our home. Our church is predominantly older, so there were only two other couples at that time. The past couple of years leading our small group has been a bit of trial by fire with many challenges and equally as many beautiful moments as we have slowly grown.
Ministry Call and Free Education in Ministry
During this time, my passion for in-home small groups and coming alongside others to serve them and encourage their walk with the Lord continued to grow. I soon realized that this ministry was what the Lord was calling me to do. Therefore, if I were to take this calling seriously, I would need to further my Christian education. Then I could better serve those within the church. I looked at an online seminary, but it did not seem to be where the Lord was leading as I prayed.
Soon, I came across the Christian Leaders Institute. I was very excited as it seems to be a perfect fit for me at this stage of life. Ultimately, my dream is to be a better servant leader of others and to one day, help train other men to be servant leaders as well. Thank you, CLI, for this opportunity for free online education in ministry.

My name is Susan Mapuranga, and I am excited to receive ministry education for free at the Christian Leaders Institute. I live in Harare, Zimbabwe. My husband and I are blessed with four beautiful children. I graduated in 2014 when I completed my BSc Management and Entrepreneurial Development in General Management and Marketing.
Currently, my husband and I are running a college and a small private primary school where we give education. We also are trying to fulfill the scripture that instructs us to train up a child in the way they should go so when they are old they will not depart from it. We believe that it is better to build a child than to repair a man or woman.
Ministry Dreams and Goals
My ministry goal is to help the young ones to grow in God’s kingdom. I also want to give counseling to men and women in our community. Zimbabwe is one of the poorest countries in the world. So our ministry, by God’s grace, will be able to run orphanages and offer free Bible education at our schools eventually.
Ministry Education for Free at CLI
I hope to further my studies with the Christian Leaders Institute and increase my knowledge. Then, l will be able to share the word of God with others. My passion for the things of God will finally be fulfilled by obtaining this ministry education for free at CLI. The courses will expose me to deeper revelation, build a strong biblical foundation, and become a fountain of knowledge. Therefore, I can spread the word of God with confidence while being recognized as a well trained Christian leader.
Additionally, my prayer is that the desire God placed in my heart will be accomplished. I want to be able to minister and do the will of God as I walk with God all the days of my life. I intend to fulfill the purpose God created me for and fulfill my divine destiny.

My name is Sunday Oluwtimileyin Taiwo, and I am receiving free ministerial training at CLI – the Christian Leaders Institute. I am a native of Nigeria by birth. In 1996, I was born in Ibadan, where both my parents are also from initially. Currently, I am holding a secondary school certificate in hand. I obtained my results at Pragmatic College Odode Idanre, in Ondo state.
It takes so many things to become a Christian leader in Nigeria. You must attain some levels of degree before leaders of many denominations allow as a minister of God. This education level is necessary for their local churches, most especially in the ministerial service.
I grew up in Ibadan, and I attended the Baptist church with my parents. There, I was able to engage in some church activities in the children’s department, such as memorizing God’s Word.
Encountering God
In 2016, I moved to Ondo state. There, I had an encounter with God through Pastor Tosin Olajide, an able minister of God. He shared a vision with me, which went like this: He saw me before two aged men. One represented God and the other Satan. He further let me know that both men want to use me extensively. However, it depended on whom I followed. Then, he quoted John 10:10 for me, which talked about the purpose of Jesus Christ and Satan.
Ever since then, I’ve chosen to serve God from then and forever in my life. I have faced death challenges in so many ways, but all glory to God Almighty for giving me the victory.
I hope to use my Christian Leaders Institute training for God’s purpose in my life. Then, I can enrich others with the full knowledge of the Word of God. The free ministerial training at CLI has helped me to grow. It also helped me discover that “inasmuch there is life, there is hope.” Thank you, CLI!
