Online Ministry Training
My name is Jonathan Robert Gambrel and I am thankful for Christian Leaders Institute’s online ministry training. I’m from the USA. While we do have many advantages, a big stumbling block is the abundance of misinformation regarding God’s Word. I grew up in a Christian family and went to a Christian School so I have always known the Lord. I fell away from the faith while I was in high school, but by the grace of God, the right people were placed in my path to lead me back and strengthen me in the faith.
My ministry dream is to be available for anything that the Lord God may see fit to lead me into. I currently help out at my local church and handle the live streaming there. So even there, I will benefit from this training. This online ministry training class has helped to focus me and remind me of the things that are truly important. As for what word I identify most closely with, Small Group Leader currently may be most applicable to me, but this could change over time. I wouldn’t say one key experience has led me to this place in my life, it is more a combination of my personality and interest/need to learn. This coupled with my time around other strong Christians in my life has left a lasting impact.
Applying the Bible to my life has changed absolutely everything. The Lord God Almighty has placed me in the job I am in, helped me to find my wife, brought two wonderful kids to us whom we adopted, and the list goes on. Without God, my life would not be what it is today. My local church is very supportive of me pursuing my calling and is willing to help me in any way possible, they are a great blessing to both myself and the rest of the community. My family will benefit as I learn to better guide and train them in the ways of God’s Word and even help me in my endeavors as we are very closely knit. Pray simply that God’s will be done in my life.

Ordained Senior Pastor
My name is Marcus St.Julien and I am called to be an ordained Senior Pastor. I currently reside in Woodbridge, Virginia, which is less than an hour outside of Washington D.C. I’m a 25-year-old Worship Director. I am married to my beautiful wife Patience and we’ve been married for almost three years. We currently have a son and we have a daughter on the way. I’m the product of a family full of pastors, ministers, and teachers. It has been my foundation since birth to be surrounded by the Gospel. I have a degree in Audio Engineering and Music Business which I still use in ministry with Worship. Both my wife and I are currently in full-time ministry. I’ve been in full-time ministry for the last six years and love every second of it.
I’m going to use the training I receive at Christian Leaders Institute to continue to further my walk into ministry. I’m scheduled to become the ordained Senior Pastor of my family church within the next two years and I want to be equipped and prepared on the side of Biblical study and sound doctrine. I’m looking to be equipped with all the necessary tools to be an effective leader in the body of Christ.
This scholarship will help me by making all of the tools available at a minimal to no cost. Being in full-time ministry is a sacrifice which makes it hard to be able to afford many of the for-pay programs. It’s also a great help with scheduling due to having a family and a ministry. It’s awesome to be able to access Chrisitan Leaders Institute at any time and anywhere.

Bible School Scholarship
My name is Jennifer Siacunco and I am excited to receive this Bible School scholarship from Christian Leaders Institute. I was born in Hawaii on April 26, 1979, but I grew up in the Philippines for almost 17 years. I came back to the United States when I was 17 years old. My grandparents have been my model from a young age. My aunt encouraged us to attend Summer Church Kid’s Camp. My two sisters and I went to the camp since we were about in fourth grade and went to many youth camps. I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and personal Savior during the camp. I loved the youth camp in the Philippines. We were surrounded by Godly role models who encouraged us in our relationship with God.
I came back to the United States with my sister seeking the American dream. I was preoccupied with work, and I was impatient about money, physical gratification, etc. The world that I lived in was full of distractions and pleasures that pulled me away from my spiritual life. I love to travel a lot. When I went to California one time, I stayed in my room and I found myself feeling empty. I opened my Bible and read. These verses stood out to me: Mark 8:36 “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” Also, Revelation 2:4 “But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first.” I realized, only a connection to God can provide the ultimate peace. Since God is love, He is the ultimate source of nourishment for my soul. I have to seek Him. Mathew 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you.”
I am in love with God. My pastor at my church and my brothers and sisters in the church, my father-in-law, and my husband have been a source of spiritual inspiration. I am enjoying my singing ministry at church and our every Wednesday discipleship training and every Tuesday and Thursday Bible study.
I have enrolled at this beautiful Christian Leaders Institute with my Bible School scholarship. I pray that I will fulfill what God entrusted me as I receive ministry training at CLI.
