Evangelism Ministry Calling
I was born in 1971 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. I got saved in 1978 at my church when I was 8 years old. I grew up going to church, and as a child, I loved to play church with my dolls pretending I was the pastor. At the age of 15, God put an evangelism ministry calling on my life. Two weeks before my 18th birthday in 1989, my church was in revival when I was baptized in the Holy Spirit. I had one close friend throughout my high school years who would go to church with me sometimes. I also would invite my baby sister and all her friends. I started being involved in my church by working in the nursery, teaching Sunday school, and singing a song up front once in a while. God called me here to Oklahoma, USA, in August of 2013. I met my husband right away and married in November of that same year. I am very excited about what God is doing in my life.
I had a dream when I was very young about the state of Oklahoma but never thought God would take me there miles away from my home and my family. It has always been a desire of mine to fulfill God’s plan but now that I just turned 47 years old in February I am learning to listen to and obey God.
This class at Christian Leaders Institute has helped me to gain more understanding of the call God has on my life and it has helped me to grow in my faith. I continue to feel the evangelism ministry calling on my life. The world needs Jesus and I love to share Jesus and show people his love.
I struggle most when I am not prepared and my pastor asks me if I have something to share. However, then I get to step out of my comfort zone to let God use me in these times. My church does not really know about my calling because I haven’t said much yet. But my pastor always encourages me to step out in faith and do what God wants me to do. He gives me the opportunity to share what’s in my heart either by speaking, singing or testifying.
Having a scholarship at CLI is very important to me because it shows my desire to learn more and grow in knowledge and wisdom of God in this life God has given me. I want to leave a legacy for my family and friends after God calls me home.

Ministry Bible Education
I am John Mendez and I am receiving ministry Bible education at Christian Leaders Institute. I live in California, USA. I am the fifth child of a family of fifteen children. My mother sent us all to Holy Redeemer Catholic Church School for religious education. I accepted the Lord the summer of 1946, in a cornfield on my uncle’s farm. We did not attend church. We moved from Montrose to Sylmar, California.
In April of 1949, I enrolled at O’Melveny Street School in San Fernando. The school allowed one hour of religious education on Tuesday and Thursday, off campus. I met my new neighbor, Evelyn Rosemarie Lane, the summer of 1950. I would walk to church most Sundays, three miles, because my family did not attend church. I went to classes for confirmation at St. Ferdinand Catholic Church. I was confirmed in 1957.
I enlisted in the Army in 1959. I married Evelyn in July of 1964. We had five kids; two boys and three girls. We continued going to church. I retired in 2012. While working on the computer, I kept seeing ads to take a minister test, so I did and passed it. Eternity Bible College let me attend some classes as an auditor, four classes. I joined Simi Valley Second Missionary Baptist Church. Pastor Gray mentored me in my studies to be ordained as a deacon. In 2016, I joined Only Hope Prison Ministry, to do Bible study and Sunday services. In the prison ministry, some of the prisoners knew the Bible better than me. I knew that I needed more knowledge.
Now that I found Christian Leaders Institute, I am learning more in this ministry Bible education. My ministry dream is to make a difference for the people that don’t have a church, who can’t afford baptisms or marriages because of the high fees that many churches charge. I hope to be a pastor since I like doing Sunday services for the prisoners and leading the Bible Studies. I think the main challenge for me is learning. My wife has supported me one hundred percent in all of this.
