Gospel Ministry Calling
My name is Rouvaun Joubert and I have a Gospel ministry calling! I am a follower of Jesus Christ, a sinful man fearing God. A believer that through Christ Jesus I am saved and not of my own accomplishments, but through His love and grace. I am a small business owner, a blessed father of three, and the husband of the most beautiful woman.
I was born in 1988 and grew up in a fairly religious family. From a young age, I thought that I was a believer and a Christian. My beliefs were of a worldly view about what Christianity is and because of this distorted mindset, I fell into the jaws of sin. I never truly gave my life to Jesus Christ, until now. Now I strive to do God’s will, worship God Almighty, through the perfect example of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit.
Most of my life I sat through sermon after sermon, hearing a message about the gospel, never really hearing or getting the TRUE message about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And THIS is the calling to ministry I received to share the Gospel and bring the true meaning of Christianity to all. God, through the power of the Holy Spirit, calls me to share the ONE true gospel.
I can not tell exactly when I received this conviction, but it’s burning in me like a raging fire to ensure that people hear how lukewarm their Christianity truly is and that we all need to repent and turn away from sin.
I was a sinful, arrogant man that served only my own agendas and selfish wants. I spent the money and resources that God gave me, to manage for His will, on worldly sins and the god of self. In 2016, God intervened and humbled me before Him. God took away all monetary and materialistic gods in my life, which I served above Him. I fought with God for more than a year until I couldn’t fight anymore. That is when Jesus spoke to me and told me to repent, to turn away from sin and share His Word. Biblical devotion is the only way, through Jesus Christ (John 14:15).
I came across Christian Leaders Institute in February of 2018 and I truly believe that the Holy Spirit led me to start this journey of ministry training here with CLI.

Ministry Schooling Dream
My name is Ashley and I have a ministry schooling dream. I live in southeastern Wisconsin in the United States. I live on a small hobby farm with my husband, two children and one more on the way. I was born and raised in a Catholic family and had what I considered a very strong faith until I miscarried our first child. My life was shattered and I traveled down a dark path for a long time.
Fast forward several years when I was brought to my knees facing losing my family, and the Lord moved. He reached out and saved my life. I was a police officer and had been for over a decade but now had a strong calling to leave my position and stay at home with my children. After several years of praying and searching for the right time and opportunity, God literally dropped His plan for our lives in my lap. I was hired to be the part-time director of a pregnancy resource center.
This was huge, I walked away from a significant salary and stepped into the unknown. That is when I found Christian Leaders Institute. God led me to this opportunity, period. Being in full-time ministry, staying home with my children, reaching out to women in crisis pregnancies, and sharing my faith through my newly started Christian Blog, I knew I was going to need to deepen my own walk with God.
The fact that this ministry training program is being offered free of charge was an amazing blessing that I honestly had a hard time believing until I dove in. I am looking forward to the challenges ahead and am so grateful for this opportunity! Studying at CLI will allow me to reach other women right where they are, strengthen my marriage, and help me to raise up my own children in the faith.

Ministry Spiritual Dream
My name is Elliott S. Parks and I have a ministry spiritual dream. I currently live in Fort Collins, Colorado, where I co-manage a Self Storage facility with my beautiful wife Kisha Parks. I am also the owner and PIC (Pilot In Command) of Fly’n High Colorado an Aerial Photography Company. I take pictures and videos with my drones.
When I think of my “early life”, Proverbs 22:6 come to mind:”Train up a child in the way he should go. And when he is old, he will not depart from it.” I’m the second oldest child of four. My mother planted the faith seed in me at a very young age. I remember as a kid living in Hawaii going to Sunday School, hearing church sermons and singing “I’m in the Lord’s Army” on the church bus. My Grandma would always talk about God’s Love, God’s Grace, God’s Mercy and God’s purpose for my life. When I was 8 years old, I gave my heart to Jesus.
In my teenage years, my faith was tested through worldly tragedies. My father became an abusive alcoholic, which led my parents to get a divorce. My dad left and my mom fell into a dark place of depression and turned to drugs and alcohol. She eventually abandoned me when I was 14 years old. This led to a life of trials and tribulations, several failed relationships, and a failed marriage. It wasn’t until 2001 when God sent me an “angel”. She taught me a new way of a life and I was renewed in Christ. At first, it was difficult for me to let go of my worldly ways, but God was persistent and changed me from the inside out.
I’ve always said, “I’ve been on my own since I was 14 years old.” But looking back on all those years, God was always there and calling. He always placed spiritual people in my life to remind me of that, some who even prevented my death.
In 2007, I was blessed to return home to Hawaii. My family immediately noticed the changes and asked, “What happened to you?” I replied, “God happened!” My Grandma was so relieved to see all her prayers for me were answered. It was thanks to her prayers that I was covered by God’s grace, I was restored. My family got to meet my “angel” and we got married on the beach I grew up on. My Kisha, she has really made a difference in my life. She’s the reason I’m typing this. Ever since my renewed walk with the Lord, I have felt the pull on my heart to minister. So we did some research and she emailed the Christian Leaders Institute link. I’m not perfect or have ever claimed to be. I’m no better than anyone else and my sin is no different. I fall but get back up. I start my morning with “The Lord’s Prayer” and end my night with it. I notice all my blessings and take the time to look up and say: “Thank you, Father!”
The introductory video in the getting started class at Christian Leaders Institute asked: “Why are You here?” My answer is my ministry spiritual dream: “We live in a world that is fallen into darkness. More and more GOD is being removed from the equation. I am here to equip myself with the knowledge and tools to be a ‘Lamp of GOD’ in these dark days. May His Light shine through me! Amen!”
