Revival Ministry Dream
My name is Cynthia G. Brown, and I have a revival ministry dream. My pen name is Carrie Hannah with Christian Faith Publishing. I live in the United States in Buena Vista, Virginia. Born and raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I came back to the Lord six years ago in December. I am a stage four cancer survivor. By the grace of our Lord, I walked off dialysis and am a survivor of domestic violence and drug and alcohol addiction.
My dream is to open Phoenix Grace House Ministries. I want to be a church planter and revivalist. I wish to be a Barnabas to the churches. My revival ministry dream is to help churches come into revival. Many churches in my community and the surrounding areas are dying out. I want to help churches find their gifts in the Holy Spirit to reach lost souls in my town.
Free Ministry Training
Christian Leaders Institute is giving me the tools. I want to bring a vision to my area. The tools I am learning are equipping me to find my strengths and my weaknesses. Every class, I learn more about leadership, following my Savior’s plan for my life, and how to improve my walk. My relationship with my Lord has grown from the teachings of the Christian Leaders Institute. I don’t have all the answers, and I still have a lot more to learn. My Lord has all the answers. Without these courses, I feel that I would lack the knowledge to lead. I am developing skills to greater serve the embodiment of Christ.
My revival ministry dream and call are to be a Church Planter. I want to carry on the ministry of my Lord in service to others. I want to watch others grow in their walk with the Lord, finding their gifts and encouraging those gifts. Because the Lord has called me, I pursue my revival ministry dream. I seek ministry by the example of my family. Among my family are ministers, missionaries, church planters, Gideon workers, Board Leaders, volunteers, military, songwriters, artists, singers, and teachers. My dad is a gifted teacher of the word.
I have felt the calling since childhood but took another direction in my life. When I came back to the Lord, the calling stirred in my heart and my soul. The challenges I face in my area are drugs, crime, one parent households, and lack of high paying jobs. Those that get in trouble can’t get a second chance. Most people of education leave our area, and the people are losing hope and vision.
Calling and Support
I have a great support system, and for that, I am blessed. The church I grew up in was born in a revival in 1920 and is still in revival fire today even through the difficult times in our community. The experiences I had growing up in the church will aid me in my ministry. My knowledge path began in this church. My new church, The Gathering Place, is a small church with beautiful followers of Christ. We are seeing the unchurched come to our doors. We pray daily one for another and support each other’s ministries. When one soul finds their way to the truth, the whole body rejoices.
I volunteer at the Nazarene Church that operates the Food Bank and Clothing Bank for our community. Sam, our leader, is a real hometown hero. She tirelessly shows us how to love our community. Food is given out. People are being fed both spiritually and physically. I feel blest to be a part of it. My family is devoted to our area for kingdom work. By their example, I learned to be a servant.
Having this revival ministry dream opportunity for free training at CLI allows me not to have a huge debt. So then, churches that can’t afford my services obtain them at no cost. I want to shine my light throughout the community.

Homeless Ministry Dream
My name is Tim Cromwell, and I have a homeless ministry dream. As an American, I thought being born in a country that is one nation under God gave me a head start as far as being close to God. In fact, when I was preschool age, I had nice chats with Him often and I felt His presence.
When I entered the public school system, I discovered all was not right with the world, this country, and apparently the church. Yes, I had my first crisis of faith in first grade. As I listened to the Pastor and Sunday school teachers, I learned of the two coexisting kingdoms, co-existing as far as time and space, but diametrically opposed to each other in every other way. A few years later at the age of ten, I accepted Christ, I knew what I had done and was quite serious about it. But I didn’t understand the reality of accepting Him as Lord as well as savior. That understanding came much later after struggles and some time in the wilderness.
Though my homeless ministry dream is not concrete in my mind as of yet, I feel a burden for the people living on the street. My eyes and heart tell me the efforts of governments and many churches are not enough. Aid programs do not help, I have experienced this firsthand. Modern medicine has not saved these people nor has psychology and its various offshoots. More laws and more enforcement have not eased the burden of these people. In the case of the city I grew up in, they just spread the problem all over the city. My heart tells me they need what Jesus offers them: healing, wholeness, and then restoration.
Free Ministry Training
This class has shown me who I am in Christ and in my family, it has shown me that being called to ministry is not necessarily a call to the pulpit, it can be performed anywhere, and so can my service to God directly whether in quiet prayer, loud praise, intense worship, or simply sitting in His presence being renewed in complete silence and stillness of heart and mind.
The key experience in my life that prompted me to pursue ministry was a dream. It was vivid, I can still see it, though I denied its’ authenticity and put it behind me for half my life. However, it never let go. Now, I believe I am being prepared for whatever ministry I am to undertake. I do not believe my discovery of the Christian Leaders Institute was an accident but a leading of God. How could I not be prompted by that?
The challenges in my geographic area are cultural and religious which are common to most areas. My family has been very supportive of my calling. My mother-in-law told me she was waiting for the day I called her and said I was a pastor.
This free ministry training is important because I cannot afford an education in ministry, especially a quality education like the one I am receiving from CLI. This training not only teaches me how but why and which way is the best. Thank you.

Ministry Calling Free Training
My name is Connie Freeman, and I have a ministry calling free training dream. I live in Russellville, Arkansas in the United States of America. I did not get to church much as a child but started attending once I married. My grandma raised me as a child, and she was very happy we were in church. She got pancreatic cancer in 2009 and passed away within a few months. I felt lost and abandoned, and I walked away from the church.
It took me seven years to walk back into one. After six months of attending there, I was baptized. I was very active in that church. But after three years there, I needed more. So, I left that church and started a new one. That is when everything started changing in my life. I want to be able to go out in the streets and to talk to people who don’t go to church. I want to tell them about how good our God is.
My ministry calling free training from Christian Leaders Institute will help me on this journey. I never thought I’d be taking classes like this. That is because I never felt lead to until now. But, now I know God is about to use me in some way, and He wants me ready. These classes at Christian Leaders Institute are helping me to be able to reach my goal of bringing more people to Jesus. I know He is a healer as he has healed me twice this year alone. I am so thankful that He did not give up on me when I felt lost and alone. He is always with me and guided me to CLI and my ministry call.
