Ministry Training Leader
My name is Marlene M. Greene and I am becoming a ministry training leader. I live in Grandview, Tennessee in the United States of America. We are free to share the gospel with anyone we choose here in America. Although, it is becoming more difficult to approach people because of intolerance for the name of my King and Savior, Jesus Christ.
I walked to the altar and was baptized when I was about twelve years old. However, I really came to know the Lord more intimately during a very tragic time in my life in 1999. Amid this tragedy one evening, I received a phone call that crushed my heart and soul. After hanging up the phone, I stood and cried out to the Lord. I literally felt the warmth of God’s arms surrounding my being. I will never forget this feeling for as long as the Lord allows me time on this earth. I heard in my spirit God’s voice telling me that everything was going to be okay. It is now approximately eighteen years later, and everything is okay! Praise be to God!
I was asked to take the “Getting Started Class” to get familiar with Christian Leaders Institute because I will be helping in the development of some of the classes for the Enterprise program. However, while taking this class, I felt a strong desire to continue taking the classes that Christian Leaders Institute offers. I know that by taking these classes, they will strengthen my relationship with my Lord and I will learn more about ministry training and Biblical knowledge. I will increase the knowledge of my Lord and I will become a better servant in the end as I follow His leading in my life.

Ministry Leader Call
My name is Michael Omole and I have a ministry leader call in my life. I am the youngest of six. I was born in 1966. I am a British citizen of Nigerian descent. I live in the Republic of Ireland. I am married with children. I was born into a Christian family. I was made aware of who I am in our Lord Jesus Christ from an early age by my mother. But, of course, I was not interested and also not interested in going to church until much later on in my life. I rededicated my life and accepted Christ as my Lord and Saviour over 20 years ago. Since then, I have known that my walk with the Lord is to lead and win souls for His glory. I have been a cell leader in my church and a church governor, also a leader of the intercessory prayer warriors. I currently also teach Sunday School. I recently moved to Ireland from England. Prior to this, I also served as a leader in my church in London, England. I worked professionally until June of 2017 for a local government as a Housing Manager assisting people that were faced with homelessness and the threat of it, by providing them with solutions to their homelessness.
I would love to know more about the Lord and be able to fulfill my ministry leader call by equipping myself with more knowledge of Him. I am not an ordained pastor but I do preach the word of God in my church both in England and in my local chapter here in the Republic of Ireland, whenever I am required to do so.
Having a scholarship at Christian Leaders Institute will surely assist me in fulfilling my call and yearning to do more for the Lord. I will be leading evangelism from next week in my church, and the Lord is actually revealing more of Himself to me by keeping me busy in His vineyard. This is also a confirmation of the call upon my life. I have tried to avoid the call but that has not gone well and now that I am accepting the call things are getting much better. Although I am currently unemployed, I am taking the opportunity to win souls and search the scriptures. It was through the searching that I discovered CLI. Now that I have accepted the leadership call, I have to equip myself with the journey ahead. I would surely love to plant churches. But most of all, I would like one day to set up a prayer ground or center here in Ireland, where people would come to separate themselves from the distractions of this world to pray, praise and worship the Lord Almighty.

Ministry Training Call
My name is Esnath Dolobo and I have a ministry training call in my life. I was born on the 10th of November in 1975 in Zimbabwe. I currently live in Nuenen a village in the Netherlands. I am the first child of a family of three, two girls and a boy. I lost my sister in 1998. I also have three half-brothers and seven half-sisters. I am a single mother of two girls and a boy due to divorce since 2012. I work as a household care assistant in the Netherlands where I am residing. I attend Cornerstone Baptist Fellowship in Eindhoven.
I accepted Jesus as my Lord and personal Savior in 2000 just two months after being in the Netherlands. From then on God has been using me both in and outside the church for the salvation of His people, and to influence others for Jesus. I have lived in different cities here in the Netherlands and in most cases I have found myself joining churches that were still at the foundation and it has given me the opportunity to work alongside leaders who confirm that I have a calling of the Lord because of the manner in which God uses me as I work with them in serving our Lord Jesus Christ.
I have a gift of warfare in prayer and God uses me as well in that area. From 2003 to 2005 I found myself leading a Bible study as well as prayers on a weekly basis to a group of fellow foreigners in Oude Pekela a village in the northern part of the Netherlands because there was no church. Miracles happened in that group to the glory of God. A lady who was a drug addict was set free through those weekly prayer meetings and gave her life to Christ. A Muslim young man also converted to Christianity through that same fellowship. A young girl of fifteen, who was worshipping Satan in her country of birth, confessed and gave her life to Jesus. These are but a few of what the Lord did then. Lives changed, yet I had zero experience in the Lord. It is indeed the Holy Spirit who does the work of God in us (John 16:12-15).
Jesus is my passion. I want to know Him more and to be used more by Him. That is why I enrolled at Christian Leaders Institute. When I lead people to Christ or pray with them, we see tremendous results and we then want more. But that is where the problem of the lack of ministry training suffocates the work of God. In that case, I experience blockage because of lack of ministry training. Through my ministry training call, I want to be able to successfully deliver the Word of God. Passion alone is not enough to complete the work of the Lord.
My dream is to acquire the required ministry training in order to effectively spread the Word of God to the lost. Our Lord Jesus Christ said in Matthew 28:18-20 that after converting people to Him, we should give them the necessary training according to His command. Secondly, I would like to make use of the CLI tools for Bible study and ministry training for others since I learned that they can be made available to ministers to use for training purposes. I love what I learned about reproducing Christian culture as well as the lessons on mentorship.
I am thankful to God for CLI and how it has helped me in my ministry training call. I have already learned some exciting tools even through this Getting Started Class. I pray to receive a scholarship for further ministry training in Jesus’ name. God bless you all at CLI and God bless the partners who are contributing to making this course available to those who are called by our Lord Jesus Christ. May the reward mentioned in Psalms 112 be your portion in Jesus’ name. Amen.
