Free Educational Study
My name is Joseph Ikome Efungani from Cameroon and I am excited about the free educational study program at Christian Leaders Institute. I was born in 1986 in the southwest region of Cameroon to a polygamous home of ten children. My father got married to three wives because he was a traditional ruler of our area and our tradition allowed him to have many wives and children. During my primary school, we went to Presbyterian schools and grew up in the customs of our traditions and beliefs as a royal family. My father died in 2013 just after I had graduated from the University with a Bachelors in Educational Psychology. However, there was a problem as to which of the male children would inherit my father’s position as the traditional ruler of our area. This is the period when I meet with on Apostle prince who converted me to become a Christian. I then went with the good news to our house and my elder sister became a Christian too. Presently, she is a pastor with the Presbyterian church in Cameroon, while I decided to go with the Pentecostal church. So, the position of the traditional ruler was given to my cousin since my siblings had all accepted Christianity.
I decided to follow this free educational study program at Christian Leaders Institute. With the death of my father, it was difficult for me to raise any funds for education due to fact that the interest of a single child could not be overemphasized at the expense of the others. I have a burden from the Lord which is why I wanted to go into the ministry. My burden most especially is to preach the gospel of the kingdom and also to eradicate evil customs and traditions that are not in accordance with the gospel of Christ in Africa. I plan to do ministry in Cameroon most especially in the rural areas where these traditions are practiced.

Bachelor Degree
Hello, my name is Caersha Lewis and I am working on my Bachelor Degree at Christian Leaders Institute. I’m 32 years old and from Texas. I’m surrounded by many Christian Leaders. I’m sure like many other places lots of folk go along their day ministering to others. Being cordial is the Texas way I’d like to believe. Surprisingly the many different cultures and religions here don’t bring a lot of division among us Texans.
As a little girl, I enjoyed Sunday school just as much as regular school. My mother and other family members took me to church often. I grew up in a poor neighborhood. I was active in the community school and the church activities. Overall, I was a happy little girl. I’ve always known that we serve an awesome God.
My spiritual dream would be to assist and organize a small church. A church that will truly do what God intends. A simple expectation to just let His will be done. I want our ministries to touch as many as possible. I faithfully wait while God prepares me for my job.
As I continue to deepen my relationship with God I must pray for wisdom and strength to fight obstacles that try to stand in the way of my journey. I know the devil is always busy. I also know that the Lord we serve is The Highest of the High, Ruler amongst all Rulers, the King of all Kings, who gave His son for me and is always with me.
I plan to earn a bachelor degree here at CLI and while I learn I will continue to minister daily. I will let the Lord lead me to exactly what I should do when I should do it, how I should do it, and where I should do it. May the Lord’s will be done in and through my life.
