Youth Minister Education
My name is Loretta Evans. I am receiving a free Youth Minister education at Christain Leaders Insitute. I live in Saint Petersburg, Florida, in the United States of America. I was born to Bennie and Lois Peterson. My mom passed away on Christmas day in 1978. My dad passed away a month ago on April 22, 2018. I am married to Robert Evans, Jr. and we have four beautiful daughters and one handsome son. Our children have given us eleven grandchildren.
I am currently a retired school teacher. I taught for 20 years.
I have always known the Lord all of my life. Going to church, Bible study and Sunday school were not a choice for us as children, it was a given. We lived in a small town that only had worship services at our church on the 2nd and 4th Sundays because the Pastors had another church they led on the 1st and 3rd Sundays.
My dream is to become a youth minister. My goal is to save as many youths as I can. It is really sad to see so many youths on the streets throwing their lives away by getting caught up in drugs, robbery, and killing each other. I want to spread the word of the Lord and help guide them to a walk with the Lord. I want to show them that there is a better path for them to travel. All they need is faith in the Lord and someone to help lead them in that direction.
Christian Leaders Insitute has helped me to reflect on my youth minister education in ministry. It helps me to renew and grow in my faith in the Lord, and most of all it helps me to stay focused on God and his call as I receive this youth minister education. When I was a school teacher, I used to talk to the students about life, God, and their faith. I realized some of the students had never been to a church or even knew of God at all.
I have always wanted to be a minister. When I was a young child, I used to pretend I was a preacher. I used to gather my friends and have church. I was the pastor and we would sing and shout and have a good old time for the Lord. As I got older, I kind of moved away from that dream because I got married, my husband was in the military, and we traveled a lot. Besides, back then no one really was into listening to women ministers.
CLI ministry training is very important to me because it is going to provide me with a free education. They do this through the passion of generous partners who support these revolutionary free online college-level classes. I won’t have to worry about paying out of my pocket for an expensive education, or getting loans and going into debt trying to pay them back. It will prepare me to be successful in reaching my dream and goals. Most of all, it will bring me closer to the Holy Spirit.

Solid Ministry Training
My name is Kyle Taylor, and I am a Christian, husband, and local church worship leader. We have lived in Monroe, Michigan since 2016 and love enjoying the community, music, volunteering, and supporting local businesses. As an occupation, I work full time as a retail pharmacy technician for a Michigan based company named Meijer. I have been a pharmacy technician for over five years and enjoy learning about various disease states, medications, and therapies. I surrendered to the Lord at the age of 16 and since desired to serve Him with my whole heart.
I plan to use my ministry training provided by CLI to enhance further the kingdom calling on my life to serve in the capacity of a Bible teacher. I love the word of God and helping disciple others to be well equipped thoroughly with the word of God for the advancement of the everyday gospel. I also have a burning heart for house churches and persecuted believers who give everything for the sake of the gospel. CLI ministry training will accurately prepare me in all areas of ministry and increase my credibility within the global Christian community.
Having a scholarship at CLI will enable me to pursue the college biblical education and credibility I have sought to achieve. Because of finances, I could never afford high-cost college tuition which is required at most seminaries or colleges. This became a barrier that made me feel as though I could not find a place with solid ministry training but then I came across CLI. Since then my passion for learning has been refreshed because of this incredible opportunity.

Life Changing Ministry Education
I am thankful to be involved with Christian Leaders Insitute and their life changing ministry education. For years growing up, I seemed to sense that something was different about me. Not until many years into my adult life, did I realize I was strangely different. I struggled with depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. I entered adulthood completely unprepared for the new found freedom I had just gained. A failed attempt at a secondary education, a four-year stint in the United States Marine Corps, and my return home seemed to be a disaster waiting to happen. I failed miserably at relationships, both male friends and girlfriends, totally missing the point of love and companionship. After failed attempts at marriage, I thought my life was going to be a very difficult road on a very dark path.
But around the age of 40, I encountered two life-changing things, a beautiful woman and a gospel of the love and light of Christ. As I began to walk and learn, I made many positive changes that brought me to a new experience in my life with Christ. I began this journey with obtaining a Bachelor’s degree from a well-respected Christian school, Indiana Wesleyan University. A job change led me to my first real father in the faith, Dr. Webb, who led me on a journey of self-discovery and a pursuit of Christian education as a leader.
In 2015, I began to sense a call to become more involved in the preaching and teaching of God’s Word that led me to seek an education through Christian Leaders Institute. I can honestly state I had no idea what the next two years and beyond as a student of this prestigious and honorable institution of higher learning would have on my life, my ministry, and my future. Just this year, Dr. Webb blessed us by releasing us to return home again and allowing me to pursue my ministry goals. I am now under the leadership of Dr. Lunsford who has been mentoring my wife and I in the ministry while allowing us to grow into our own ministry.
