Ireland Revival Training
Hi. My name is Rachel Walsh. I am boldly seeking God’s calling with Ireland revival training at Christian Leaders Institute. I live in Ireland although I am originally from the UK. I live in a rural community with my husband and five children. We prayed about our ministry for eight years before moving to Ireland in 2016. We have faced many challenges in that time, but we have always known God’s hand in our circumstances and we have also seen his provision many times despite our circumstances. It has been during these times that we have been closest to God and I feel blessed to have had opportunities for refinement.
I pray that this refinement has prepared us for fulfilling our calling in Ireland. We pray for revival in this nation. Many of the wonderful people here are lost to ritual and culture. But there is a healthy interest in God and people ask us what we believe because they can see we are different. We are salt and light.
We came to plant Living Waters Revival Church and we would like to build believers with solid Biblical teaching and a love for the individual. We want to heal those who have been hurt by the church and we want to reach those who are searching but are looking in the wrong places; spiritualism, suicide, addiction, superstition to name a few. There are other small congregations/house churches and their ministers who are supportive of our work and we want to work alongside them in supporting their ministries as well.
Gaining a scholarship with Christian Leaders Institute would fulfill my dream of studying at a Bible College level school without requiring me to sacrifice my role in our ministry or my role in my family. It will allow me to gain confidence in my studies as well as the recognition which others seek for validation. I have already enjoyed the Getting Started classes and have gained some helpful insight into areas I could improve as well as ways in which that can be achieved. I can’t wait to see where the next classes take me. Thank you.

Free Bible Education
My name is Leigh Ann Ogerly and I am receiving free Bible education at Christian Leaders Institute. I am from a small town in West Texas, USA. My mother was raised in a Church of Christ and my father was raised in a Lutheran Church. My ancestors on my father’s side are all German and they only attended a Lutheran church. Some of them even helped build one in East Texas that is still standing and has attendance every Sunday. I basically attended both churches. My parents wanted to me to know the Lord, so we attended every Sunday to either one or the other. As I got older they let me go to church with friends (this is also a way of helping your friends get into a church..by going with them). I was baptized in my teens at a Baptist Church, however my father was not too happy about it because all of my older siblings were baptized in the Lutheran Church. I did accept Jesus Christ and knew what it meant to get baptized. However, I must admit that was not the only reason. There was a production called Heavens Gates and Hells Flames. Now that scared me. I did not want to go to hell. I had plenty of discussions with the youth minister about it.
Is my calling to minister? I am not sure of that yet. I think if I were to be called to minister, it would be to the youth if that is where God wants me to go. Right now, I am setting a better foundation with Christ. I want to know Him more, be more knowledgeable. If this leads me to ministry and God wants me in ministry, then ministry it will be. I need to learn the basics and be educated on His word, His work and what He is telling me to do. I am thankful for this opportunity at Christian Leaders Instituteto learn more about Him and where He desires me to serve Him.
