Student Learner Studying at CLI
My name is Peta Gay Waugh, and I live and work in Jamaica. I describe myself as a student learner and am learning, understanding and getting to know Him. Therefore, as I grow on my journey as a Christian, I must understand and be able to relate to my experiences.
Being a part of the Christian Leaders Institute during this process is truly a blessing. First, it fulfilled my quest to learn and grow as a Christian. Second, it provided me with the tools needed to better understand God and my role and responsibilities as a leader. I am challenged, and the more I delve in, the more I am eager to learn. Already, I find myself being more open to sharing and fellowshipping with everyone.
Christian leaders in Jamaica are either ordained or have gone through the theological process. The expectations are very high, as they are role models selected by a high calling. The community usually seeks counseling and advice in all forms from them. They even attest documents and are often summoned by the police if and when needed.
Raised as a Christian
As a child, I grew up admiring these leaders, especially in my household. Going to church was considered imperative. My mother sat with us on the veranda on Sunday evening as we studied the Bible through reading the stories. We rarely fellowshipped together except for those days, but I knew it was necessary. Each morning, my mother sat in the bathroom, praying and reading her Bible. My father did the same thing. So my siblings and I followed suit with evening prayer also as a must.
We also expressed thanks for the day and what we accomplished. Our parents reminded us of the need to be humble, grateful, and take nothing for granted. In my household, we were responsible for each other. Mother, the nurturer, would also be reminding us of our responsibilities to be our brother’s and sister’s keeper. A trust that I have grown to respect over the years. It has taught me how to work with others and accept them for who they are.
Student Learner about God at CLI
My acceptance of the Lord happened when I was about ten. I was in the bathroom, the quiet family place, reading the Bible when I began to speak in tongues. It was a surreal feeling. I have come to look forward to it as it is like God speaking through me. Ministering and fellowshipping with God is something that I do every day. I am always humbled to share my testimony of how good God has been to me. My spiritual aspiration is to become so devoted to the Lord that I am one with Him. My biggest hurdle is being diligent in my mission. It is for this reason that being a part of the Christian Leaders Institute is essential to me as it has made me more focused.
As I delve into this knowledge being offered, I hope that I will learn and comprehend so that I can become a teacher and guide to others. I assist my siblings financially, so I do not have the income to fund my studies. Hence, since this training is free, I feel blessed that God answered my prayers. Learning and understanding His Word is paramount to me. A scholarship enables me with the ability to complete more classes so that I can teach and guide others positively. Thank you, CLI!

.CLI Ministry Education: It’s My Time Now With God’s Help
Hi, my name is Felix Quinones, and I am getting a CLI ministry education. I am 30 years old and was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey. I was also born with cerebral palsy. Needing to use a walker has never been easy for me. Other kids often bullied me as a kid. And, as a teen and an adult, people told me that I would never amount to anything. They said that I would never graduate from high school and never be able to go to college or do anything for myself.
My CLI Ministry Education Goal
Finding the Christian Leaders Institute with their online ministry education for free is a Godsend. My goal with Christian Leaders Institute is to get my Associates’s degree in Evangelism and Biblical Theology. Then, my dream is to be an official evangelist for the kingdom of God and my local church.
I know this will take a lot of time, effort, and dedication. But, I want to prove to people who were used by Satan himself that when you walk in obedience to the word of God, there is nothing impossible for Him. What people say about you is not what matters, because what matters is that God will fulfill His purpose in His perfect timing!
My other goal is to not only become an official Evangelist, but to one day also be a husband, father, and pastor of a church. I know that some people might see this as impossible because of my physical limitations. But, we know that with the Lord all things are possible! I am excited to study at Christian Leaders Institute. I will get the CLI ministry education I need to fulfill the dreams I have for ministry.

Revival Leader Free Training
I am Neba Festus from Cameroon, and I am receiving revival leader free training at CLI. I live in Bamenda City, the central town of the North West Region. Heavy gunshots between the Separatist fighters and the Military are a daily occurrence. Large numbers of people are killed daily. We have been at war for the past three years. Suffering, pain, and misery is the order of the day. My town is deserted, but I thank God for his Grace.
I was born in 1994 to Cameroonian parents. Later, I had one younger sibling. I grew up in a Christian home with my grandparents who were Roman Catholics. The burning desire to become a priest was my everyday dream. After my primary school education, I left for the city where I attended college. I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Accounting in 2016.
Salvation in Christ
In the city, I was exposed to more Christian knowledge. Though attending the church, I realized there was more to Christianity than just the Sunday mass. The recitations were more of a ritual to me. My heart longed for more as I was thirsty and hungry for God. In the quest for knowledge and God, I came across a friend who invited me to a Pentecostal Church where I received Christ as my Lord and Savior.
As I grew in the Lord and in the Spirit, the burden for lost souls burned in my bones. I sensed the call of God upon me for the nations as I witnessed to the unsaved. As I began deeper fellowship and Bible study, I came to understand the Grace of God in a new way. I thought my salvation depended on what I do, but it does not. In the course of my questions for more information, mentors and ministers of the gospel helped me to understand the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Finding Revival Leader Free Training at CLI
Accepting the call of God upon my life was a bold step. I just graduated and needed to work as the oldest son to take care of my sibling. But the Burden for my Country and the Revival of my Country gave me restless nights. My mentor, Apostle Daniel Obase, was a major contribution and a drive for my spiritual quest. His words of a father are playing a major role.
Being called into Apostolic work requires me to be properly and thoroughly equipped. In my search for revival leader free training, I got in contact with Sister Patricia Corey who introduced me to Christian Leaders Institute. Obtaining training in ministry will be an added value and push for the revival of my country. My further goal is to bring revival from my country to other African countries and the world at large. Also, I want to plant churches all over my nation and beyond.
Prayer Request
Knowing Christ and making Him known is one of my major objectives. The revival leader free training at CLI will be a building block for further study. Then, I can bring the fire of revival as a trained leader to the nations. Please, pray for my nation, Cameroon, a major outbreak of revival, and an end to the war. Blessings to you all!
