Free Ministry Leadership Training
My name is Peter Verhelst, and I am receiving free ministry leadership training at CLI. I live in Manitoba, Canada. I was born in the Netherlands, and I lived there with my family until I was nine years old. At that time, my father moved us out of that country to escape his sexual past. I started school in Canada in the third grade, learning a new language in the process. While yet in the old country at the tender age of seven or eight, my mother showed me my baby sister’s privates and explained how they would develop. I struggled with a life of sexual sin after that.
That life of sin prevented me from understanding God’s grace in Jesus Christ. Even though I went to my church and heard the gospel preached, it never touched me. So, I went looking for peace of mind in other venues. In my adult life, I sought preachers who could explain the gospel to me.
Over the years, I received help from the different pastors God sent me. I now know and embrace the saved status that God has given me because of Christ’s accomplishments (Colossians 1:22). Since then, I am finally able to deal with my sexual urges as well. Praise His holy name!
Prison Ministry Opportunity
Years ago, my former pastor took me along to a prison ministry. On our first time, he told me this one was a free go. I asked him what that meant?! He said I was allowed to see how things were done and the next time I would have to present a message. The rest is history. I have been going since 2002.
Recently, we have added a Bible study every Thursday evening at the prison. The prisoners come, and we reflect on a passage of Scripture for about an hour. This study time has become such an abundant blessing to the inmates. When we meet them on the outside, they tell us how much they miss the Thursday evening Bible study. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
With adding the Bible Study, I wanted to be more knowledgeable as a leader. I am thankful that I found the Christian Leaders Institute. Now, I study the ministry leadership training for free. I can grow in my biblical knowledge and as a leader in ministry opportunities.

Spiritual Ministry Vision
My name is Dr. Moloko Patricia Mahapa from Johannesburg, South Africa, and I have a spiritual ministry vision for my life. I have various qualifications including an MBA and have just completed my Ph.D. I am a published author mainly writing Christian books, and I work as a government official. My love for God and what He has done in my life motivates my passion for writing.
I grew up going to a Lutheran church. I learned about Salvation by mixing with other Christians and visiting other Christian churches. When a visiting pastor from Rhema Bible Church led me to Christ, I was born again. I have been saved for almost 18 years and am very grateful to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for my Salvation. I am where I am because of God’s love and Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior’s finished work on the Cross of Calvary.
My primary objective as an author is to impact and inspire people through my books. I have just published a book called Renew Yourself, which I believe will inspire and positively motivate people. My other book which is still in the process of being published is Run Your Race, which is also an inspirational Christian book.
I embarked on this journey to study with Christian Leaders Institute (CLI) because I would like to keep on growing spiritually as a child of God. My desire is also to be highly equipped as a Christian leader so that I can serve, share, teach and lead people to God. CLI makes it very convenient for anyone passionate to grow as a Christian leader to do so. My work schedule is very congested, so through CLI, I can learn at my own time and pace. This fact makes me enjoy my studies, and I am very thankful to everyone who has made CLI’s vision possible.

Free Educational Opportunity
My name is Roy Belandres, and I am thankful for this free educational opportunity at CLI. I am from Victorias Negros Occidental in the Philippines. By the grace of the Lord, I received my calling from the Lord at the age of 33 years old. I am called to be a minister in one of our branch churches in Parañaque Metro in Manila after my one year in a theological seminary from our church. By the grace of the Lord and after five years of being a minister in our branch church, I was ordained and sent to Cambodia as a missionary pastor. All glory goes to God.
Ministry in Cambodia and Free Ministry Training at CLI
Now by God’s grace and help, I pioneered a small church here in Siemreap in Cambodia at Veal Village Chreav with the Cambodian people. We have two church members who truly believe and serve the Lord and more than ten people who are church attendees (most of them are children and youth with some old ones).
I praise God because without Him we would not be able to start a church due to the language barrier. The language is KHMER and is the Cambodian language. I thank God that He enables me to learn the language through prayer and through my study of the language. I am thankful to God for my beloved wife who is always there to support me. And, I also thank God for our Cambodian boy who is a blessing from God as our true son.
I praise God that I found the Christian Leaders Institute (CLI) for further ministry training for free. These free classes at CLI are helping me to grow in the knowledge of God and in ministry leadership skills. Thank you, CLI, for this amazing, free educational opportunity.
