Leader Training
My name is Shirley Guidry, and I am receiving leader training at Christian Leaders Institute. I live in Sour Lake, Texas. My previous Christian leadership has consisted of leading children’s church and Christmas events at our local church which closed last December. I have led funerals for a couple of disadvantaged family members that needed a minister to lead burial services.
My childhood home life was dysfunctional at best and I only attended church for a short while, maybe a month’s worth in my elementary school years. In high school, I attended with a neighbor, then continued at the same church with a different neighbor when I moved away from home.
I came to know Jesus at a Pentecostal church and I still have fond memories of that church family.
After a long absence from church, I moved my family a couple of hours away to begin a new career and life after a separation from my husband. I attended several churches and found a home at the Methodist church in town. Several moves later, I met and married a man who grew up attending his hometown Methodist church with his family.
I always felt I had a relationship with God, and sometimes I felt like He spoke to me, but something changed in my heart last October. I felt a change and I felt His voice while listening to a Christian radio program and such a weight lifted off of me. I understood what “He died to save me” meant. I could do nothing to be saved except accept Him and believe that I am saved. That alone will get me into Heaven not anything else I do because the only way to Heaven is through Jesus. What a powerful thing that is to finally understand!
My spiritual dream is to know Jesus and His word better and to have my whole family understand His love. I’d like His light to shine from my life. I am not perfect and never will be, but I am changing and hope to go where He is leading me. My past is my obstacle with all my failures and bad outcomes. But, I am getting over them. I have moved on from most and adulthood has shed light on the whys. I try not to dwell there anymore, only to say I am sorry for any wrongs committed and show that I have changed.
Having grandchildren has humbled me. I see where I should have done things differently raising my children. I help as often as possible where they need me. None of my children have a church home, but they do come to holiday events. It saddens me and I pray that God will touch their hearts and minds and bring them to Him. I bring all the grandkids I can (I have ten) to Sunday School and church. I talk to them about Jesus and how much He loves them. It is wonderful to listen to their thoughts and ideas about Him.
I want to know His word and plans for my life. I’d like to be an example to others of Him, and with Christian Leaders Institute leader training, I believe I will be able to do that even better. Just this first course has given me so much insight and changed some of my “thinking patterns.” With this instruction, I believe God will get so much more use out of my life. Finding this leader training is a blessing. I have been asking Him to help me learn and retain His word. The day I located CLI, I felt a nudge to search minister training and your site came up. I searched for reviews to see if you were a legitimate course of study, and all the reviews were good. So here I am. I’d be greatly honored if you would accept me into your program.

Ghana Christian Leader Training
Hi, my name is Keith Essel Arthur and I am receiving Ghana Christian leader training with CLI. I’m from Ghana and I love my country very much. Being a leader in God’s house has been amazing, it has served as a place to know God very well and attend to His people. My parents introduced me to God right from birth and I praise God for giving me the opportunity. Even though I have been going to church all my life, and knew that Jesus should come into my heart, I openly gave my life to Christ in Senior High School. I was used to church but I wasn’t too sure if I had the right relationship with God. That was a life-changer. After that incident, I called home to thank my parents for taking me to church and showing me the things of God.
My spiritual dream is to be like Christ and be in His Kingdom when He returns. I was made in His image and likeness and so there’s no other place for me but to be with Him. As a believer and a leader in God’s house, I had to face diverse separations. It was a platform God used and is still using to raise me and build me for His Kingdom. Every child of the King requires training, therefore, I must go through the things He has set for me.
The Bible says in John 15 that apart from Me (Jesus Christ) you can do nothing. In other words, anything done without Christ is nothing. This is important for everyone on this planet, especially believers. Our walk with God has nothing to do with what we can do but with what His Spirit leads and provides. My dream is that people will walk with God as He wants and desires.
Christian Leaders Institute is a great opportunity that cannot be mishandled. I believe strongly that it is inspired by God to teach many. Jesus Christ, when leaving the earth said we should go out and baptize people in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, making disciples of all nations. CLI is a platform designed to teach and raise disciples for God. I am thankful for the Ghana Christian leader training I am receiving at CLI.

Namibia Free Ministry Training
My name is Ester Mutambay. I live in Namibia. I’m an ordained Evangelist and a middle school teacher. I am receiving Namibia free ministry training through Christian Leaders Institute. I am married and have two daughters. I have a passion to seek the lost and to see the manifestation of the love of God in each one of us.
Being a Christian leader in Africa is becoming more and more challenging due to the widespread controversial happenings in many churches in Africa. The church is now being looked at as a money-making machine and is starting to lose its influence on society.
I became born again in 2009. Prior to this, I heard the gospel over and over again, but I was a devout Catholic and felt that I was doing just fine. I was not interested in this born-again story. One night, around midnight, Jesus knocked on the door of my heart. He was very clear, I was convicted, and said, ” Yes, Lord.”
My dream is to become a minister of God. I want to preach the undiluted word of God, in all truth and sincerity, without compromise. I want to see families restored, healed and functional. I believe that a healthy family makes a healthy society. I also want to be a role model to young girls and empower them to grow into women of excellence.
My biggest challenge going into ministry was my tongue. I’m a really gifted speaker, but at times I was too quick to speak when I should have kept quiet. I have read a lot of books dealing with the subject of the tongue, one of them is Me and My Big Mouth by Joyce Meyer. I realized that a sincere desire to change, meditating on the word of God, and prayer are key to overcoming this challenge.
I really appreciate Christian Leaders Institute for this Namibia free ministry training. I would otherwise not be able to afford it. It being online allows me to study and still be at home with my family. Getting training is very important to me, not to get a certificate, but to get the knowledge that I need to be better equipped and in turn better lead those that Christ has entrusted to me. This first course at CLI has been a blessing.
