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.

Christian Education Journey
My name is Jamie Abiodun and I am on a Christian education journey at Christian Leaders Insitute. I live in Houston, Texas in the United States of America. I grew up in Libby, Montana. I have been married for twelve years to a wonderful man who loves Jesus Christ with every fiber of his being. I was not raised to know Jesus, and in fact, the town I grew up in made fun of the Christians. I always thought “Church People” were very different.
When I met my husband, I saw visions and signs which I had never had anything like that ever happen to me before. I dated him one time and on that date, he asked me to marry him. I said yes and three months later we were married. My husband was raised Muslim in Nigeria, Africa. He left his home when he found Jesus Christ as a teenager. He stayed with his pastor. His family did not accept him any longer. My husband was sent to the USA on a tennis scholarship to play at Texas State University in Houston, TX. God put us together and now we have our own ministry.
I always followed along and was in and out of the church not sure what the big deal was. Within the last several years, I have grown closer to God than ever before. Just this last year though, I have found him! I am on fire for Jesus and am passionate about being the next woman to bridge the gap. I want to be involved, reading, and knowing as much as I can about Christianity. I am determined to start here at Christian Leaders Insitute as God has directed me to do so on my Christian education journey. I am excited to learn more about the Bible and grow closer in my walk with God.
