Closer Walk With God
I was born and raised in the United States of America and I am developing a closer walk with God. I am married to my husband Reverend Luke for going on four years now and we have four beautiful children. Though not all of them are biologically his, the three oldest are from my previous marriage that ended due to domestic violence. Our ministry thus far has consisted of assisting people in their happiest of times and in their darkest of times. We (my husband and I) officiate weddings, funerals, and other events around our state.
As a very young child, I was adopted. I was raised in the Lutheran church and attended a Catholic elementary school until I was in the fourth grade. I attended a public Middle School and Highschool. When I was 8 years old, I was attending church one Sunday and the Pastor was preaching salvation. There isn’t much that I remember from my childhood, but I do remember that sermon and him telling me just how to be saved. I remember thinking that I wanted that. I wanted salvation and a closer walk with God. That night I went home and after our usual bedtime routine and prayers, I remember the room being dark and I crawled out of bed, got down on my knees and prayed the prayer that the Pastor had guided us to pray. At that very moment, I felt a rush of warm come over me. I felt all the dark leave me and I was filled with something so beautiful that to this day I can’t put words to it.
My ministry dream is to help as many of our couples to be sure that God has chosen them to be married and to guide them in how to be a married couple in Christ. My ministry dream is to help my local church in opening up to the community and allowing a safe place for people who may just need a place to warm up or a warm meal. My ministry dream is to do God’s work, to help when and where I am needed. I desire to share a closer walk with God with those I meet. I want to see a need and fill that need with the love of God shining through me so that others can see and feel God’s love through me to them.After my mother’s passing, I had lost a part of my walk with God and this getting Started Course has renewed my desire to not only walk closer with God but to make it a habit to do so each and every day. It has given me the tools to learn how do be successful and the encouragement to know that I CAN DO IT!!

Ministry Calling Journey
Hello, my name is Guy Wolff and I am on a ministry calling journey. I am from a small town in Pennsylvania. We have many churches in my area which is wonderful that God has such a strong following. I’m in a small business with my bother doing trash collection, not a very glorious job but a very humbling one, to say the least. We have been blessed with growth and donate what we can to our local church and some of the local groups. My brother and I are both saved. I began my walk with Christ at the age of 13. I am 36 now. I’ve slipped away many times but he has always drawn me back to him. My brother is actually one of the reasons I came to Christ. He was going to church and invited me along. I enjoyed it very much until it closed due to lack of people tithing and showing up. I found other churches to attend but never one like my original home church. Many years passed, I married, had children and got divorced which ended up leading me to my current and now permanent home church, Halton church of Christ.
I have a ministry calling to do many things: counsel, teach, minister, and where ever else God decides to take me. I have a deep love for people and always try to help where I can. My ministry dream is to help people and show them Christ’s love. I can’t put a title on what I’m hoping to do at this time. I have to say that beginning this first course at Christian Leaders Institute has been a little bit of a challenge due to the number of hours I work. But it has opened my mind to the fact I can accomplish this quicker than I thought. As of the time of this writing, I am already ahead of schedule on this course. Reconnecting with God and the Bible has been such a blessing in my life. I’ve begun some serious self-analyzing and am beginning to come to terms with sins that I have been needing to deal with for some time now. Being called back to God and a walk with Him has been a tremendous help with that. I’m hoping with the training and a scholarship I will be able to go further and do more, God willing. I would love and be thankful for any prayers. Thank you, God bless.

Church Planter Pastor
Blessings to all, my name is Mayra Lizarraga, and I feel called to be a church planter pastor. I am married to a wonderful man and provider, Rene Castellanos. Together we are the parents of two beautiful blessings, Chloe age eight and Rene age seven. I am an entrepreneur as I run a direct selling business and I’m the owner of a Makeup Artists Institute. These two businesses have helped me know people and showed me the leadership way and how important it is.
Since Jesus is our leader, He has inspired me to follow His steps. Not only has that inspired me to follow Jesus, but having a relationship with God has shown me how to pray, see the answers from God, and feel the Holy Spirit deep in me. I have been close to death many times, however, God has left me with the living for now. I know there are many reasons why God has allowed me to live that I get to understand little by little. I have been gifted from God in a so far unexplainable way, but I know I will discover it on my church planter pastor journey.
I can see myself as a pastor of a congregation that I will gather together as I plant a new church. I hope to finish the Divinity Degree that Christian Leaders Institute offers. I am so grateful for the ministry that Christian Leaders Institute is doing with people like me who would not have the means to otherwise study if not for the scholarship to make it free. I thank the Lord for bringing me through this journey thus far. All the glory is to the Lord and a thank you to Christian Leaders Institute for providing me with this opportunity!
