Dream Ministry Training
My name is Adetayo Adebowale and I am receiving dream ministry training at Christian Leaders Institute. I live currently in Nigeria with my wife Anarhlia who is from Australia. I was the assembly Pastor of Mountain of Fire Church in Johannesburg, South Africa for three years before relocating back to Nigeria to apply for Australian travel documents.
I had always wanted to go to a seminary for proper ministry training, but I lacked the finances. Although I was ordained in my local church after completing their school of ministry, I still wanted to learn from an outside school for more knowledge and certificates. I got married in July of 2017 to my beautiful wife who is an Australian. Her dad is a Bishop and traveled with her a lot before we got married. Through one of their mission trips to South Africa, we got connected, and two years after our friendship began, we got married. After our wedding, it was necessary for us to relocate back to Nigeria to do an Australian Visa which will enable us to start a ministry there.
God directed me to things to do for the calling he has given me and my wife. One night, I was sleeping and had a dream that I was searching Google’s search engine for free ministry training. When I woke up, I went online to search for a free ministry seminary in Australia. Then Christian Leaders Institute showed up. CLI offered free high-quality ministry training! I couldn’t believe it until I read the welcome page. At that point, I knew God was leading me to this school. Since I started, I’m more confident in my walk with the Lord. Sometimes I wonder how I hadn’t known about the school since, for many years, I had a hunger for a degree in theology.
Recently, I started a mentoring program for young pastors and leaders to equip them in their ministerial journey. I believe what I’m learning at CLI will enable me to be more effective with a sound biblical knowledge and doctrine.
My gratitude to the founder, lecturers, and partners of this great school. Thank you for allowing people like me and many around the world to have high-quality online ministry training. The CLI scholarship will do more for me than you expect.

Women Ministry Education
My name is Chasity Allerkamp and I am receiving women ministry education at Christian Leaders Institute. I live in the United States of America in Texas. I was born in 1988. My father was in the military and barely home. When he was home it was not always a good thing. After years of abuse, my mother left and took us kids to Arizona. We lived there for a while but my mom was always chasing the next online boyfriend. We moved back to Texas when I was 16 and things were not much better with just my mom and us kids.
I ended up getting addicted to drugs and having my first son when I was 17 and my second son when I was 18. My mom ended up kicking me out and taking custody of my boys. At that time, the life of drugs led me to dance at a gentlemen’s club. I was in that industry for almost 10 years. I was told I would never be able to have kids again. I got clean, quit cold turkey and never looked back. I was in a relationship for 6 years and we decided we were going to try to have a baby. After several miscarriages, I asked God for a chance to be the mom I knew I could be. A few weeks later, I found out I was pregnant. My youngest son is now 3 years old.
When I found out I was pregnant that is when I found God and believed in him. I ended up leaving his father due to abuse. I reunited with a friend I grew up with and we ended up getting married after only 6 months of dating. One of the best decisions I have made. In total, we have 6 kids and boy has that been a test. Since our marriage, two of the children have been baptized and two are showing interest. The youngest was baptized as an infant. I have been baptized.
The calling for me to go into ministry happened right after Thanksgiving of 2017. A woman had lost her husband a few months before, and my husband asked me to pray with her and her daughters. I did so without hesitation and then I found myself spreading the good news of the Lord with them. After that, I was shocked by how the words came to me. I have found myself talking to God more and I want to become a better person for God, myself, and my family.
I desire this CLI scholarship for women ministry education because I want to be able to confess to the world that, although I have done sinful things, I can walk with the Lord and so can you. My ministry goal is to create a safe place for girls like me that are walking in the same shoes I did. I want to help them realize there is more for them than where they are and to do this without judgment. One of my pastors has told me that she supports my decision in following my call and that my dreams are big and achievable. Thank you for your time in reading this and for this opportunity.
