Webster & Bravo Cannot Define Me,
Hey, guys! I am Sabrina Hayes, a pretty normal (but not so normal) American girl with Ministry dreams and aspirations the size of our beloved Grand Canyon. Here in these United States, we enjoy the freedom of religion, the ability to practice our faith out loud, minister to others without fear of retaliation or political discipline, and we have the right to read the Bible freely and without suffering recourse. My opportunities abound as the wide open plains of the Midwest.
I was born a Christian. I grew up in church, reciting those keynote Easter speeches in my shiny, white shoes, and singing songs of praise with the A/B choir in countless pulpits. It wasn’t until 21, through the traumatic experience of losing my brother to murder, that I walked into an amazing relationship with my Lord Jesus Christ PERSONALLY and one-on-one, and not at the nudging of my zealous Grandparents. He became my Rock, my Source of comfort, and my Best Friend.
My Ministry dream is actually my reality! Sanctuary Girl Women’s Ministry has been birthed and is on her way. Sanctuary Girl is more than a ministry; she’s an actual person. She is the woman who knows who she is. She is the girl who is willing to stand firm in what God defines her to be, in direct defiance of what society, in all its Hollywood and social media glory, compels her to be. She is the girl who accepts that what her faith says might not be popular with what her family and friends have to say; but yet she stands. The Word is her Foundation. Her safe haven. Her security. Her Sanctuary. She is a #sanctuarygirl.
My ordination will afford me the credentials that I need, and the credibility that I need, to minister to women all over the country through the retreat experience. Being able to pour into those who are hurting, who are deficient in the knowledge of what GOD says they are capable of and speaking His Word and promise to them, is an invaluable charge that has been placed on my life and will be supported through my ordination. The pivotal experience that prompted me to pursue ministry was the realization that many women in our culture, young through old, are defining themselves by standards they should not be, such as reality television and social media. THERE IS AN AMAZING NEED for women who KNOW better to hit the paths and redirect these comparisons. We must be a community of women who draw each other back to what God says we are and should be as mothers, daughters, wives, professionals, and the many other roles we carry. I choose to be among those who take up this charge.
I also look forward to helping women begin their marriages rooted and identified in the Word, as an ordained officiant. Who they are as wives is paramount for them to know going into marriage, and as an officiant, I will have the opportunity to minister to them according to what the Word says and debunk what the world says.
My local church has been amazing in support of my endeavors. I have access to women in leadership who have poured into me, been a source of accountability and encouragement, and have even joined forces with me in the work ahead. I could not do true ministry life without them. My family has also been a staunch source of support. With three teenaged daughters, my mission is more important here at home than anywhere else. They get it and they stand squarely behind me at every pass.
The scholarship to CLI was vital for me as I have two daughters in college who require fiduciary support. It would have been cost-prohibitive to bear their burden and my own. The free training at CLI was a godsend and has granted me the opportunity to pursue my dream of a Ministry Degree without assuming additional financial responsibility.
Prayers for Ministry are always coveted and needed. I request prayer for favor over my plans, that God would establish my steps as I commit my plans to Him, I pray that He would place His Hand of blessing before and behind me and that it would rest upon my Head. I pray that I would continually put Him first in my Ministry, seeking Him and His Kingdom first, knowing that in doing so, He would supply all things. I ask for prayer that women all over would be given ears to hear and eyes to see God’s Truth about them and closed to what the world says. Joining me in this prayer is the greatest honor you could provide.
CLI has been an immense blessing in my life. I look forward to making them proud in the Lord through my women’s ministry education and its impact on women nationwide.

International Ministry Dream
Read the testimony of the CLI student who has an international ministry dream. He wants to travel the world raising up more revival leaders.
I am currently living in the United States of America in Cincinnati Ohio, right by the river in a small town called Newport. I live in a small town with several churches all doing great things and doing all they can to reach the ends of the earth to share the gospel.
I found God 3 years ago when I moved away from a shady city north of where I am now. I was surrounded by so-called friends who were using drugs and living a blind and aimless life. I decided it was time to make a major life change and distance myself from the bad crowd as I was tired of being guilty by association. I quickly chose a college degree path, fell in love with the woman I am engaged to now, and set up a new start here in Newport getting grounded in my church where I started to really study the word of God.
My international ministry dream is one that will have many moving parts. I want to be deeply rooted in my local church and build a team to travel the world in the heart of spreading the good news. I am currently managing a blog and youtube channel to share videos that helped me along the way with authors, pastors, etc.
CLI has really helped me dig deeper into the word and figure out how to use it on a daily basis for guidance in my everyday walk, and I have found a passion for writing. I identify with Evangelist, I really believe that God has put an adventures heart in me to travel and a passion for leadership.
When I heard my younger siblings start to ask the bigger questions in life I immediately took the reins and showed them the Bible. I remember the look on their face and the way they received it, it made me feel like I gave them a treasure chest.
Some challenges my geographic area faces is the number of churches that exist, and people may feel like they are all too different and may never choose.
The Bible now serves as my manual to this human vessel. It directs my path and is the lamp of light on my pathway. It gives me hope, it inspires me, and helps me relate to the past soldiers of Christ who tell their tales of faith.
I am assuming new roles in the Church as a men’s bible study leader.
My family had no knowledge of Christ prior to my transformation, and now we are taking steps to help them grow in faith.
This scholarship would inspire me to devote the rest of my life to spreading the word, and changing peoples live the way it changed me from the inside out. A life without God would mean nothing matters, and a life with God means every single thing matters with eternal echoes.
Please pray that I don’t lose hope, and wake up every single morning with the hope of spreading the gospel to as many people as I can with the resources I have.

Evangelism Ministry Training
Join today and receive free evangelism ministry training. Christian Leaders Institute (CLI) offers free high-quality online ministry training. CLI accepts any individual anywhere in their life to learn about Christianity. Read a student’s testimony below who found CLI and is using the free evangelism ministry to answer his call from God.
I am currently living in the United States. I was born and raised in Jasper, TX where I reside now. I am one of five siblings all deceased, except one. I am the wife and a mother of six: Lariesha, Dewanda, Melinda, Beatrice, Elton Jr; and Carolyn who passed away on September 2016. My husband Elton & I have known each other since 1978. We separated for a while & we reconciled in 1999. I accepted Christ at an early age, although I backslid in my adolescent years which led me to a life of substance abuse and prison. I rededicated my life back to Christ in Federal prison in 1997. Today, I am saved, sanctified, and filled with the power of the Holy Ghost. A praying woman who loves her family and reaches out for lost souls and do all I can to be true to the call of God. When I got out of prison, I went back to my former leadership of an Apostle in Jasper, TX where I served for 17 years. I taught adult Sunday school, Bible study groups. I was an event coordinator, and I obtained great blessings by submitting myself to this leadership. I was a very faithful servant, witness, and a true ambassador for the Lord. I went back to school in 2004 and I achieved an Associate and a Bachelor Degree in Psychology from University of Phoenix online campus, I also, achieved a degree in the New Testament Study from World Bible College, and a Master Degree in Religion from Liberty University.
In 2011, God called me out of that ministry and gave me a charge to start an outreach center here in Jasper TX. It is called “Try Jesus Outreach” where many have come and accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. The outreach commission was to reach out to family first and then to spread abroad. My family plays the biggest role in the ministry for me because my greatest desire is for all of them to experience a true relationship with Christ, to be saved, and to serve him with gladness. We are still on that commission today. God charge me to freely give to others as I have freely received of him. The ministry dream I have is to be able to lead people into the agenda of God for their lives by teaching them biblical principles and leadership tools. This class in CLI’s evangelism ministry training has renewed my connection with God, I have been able to relish my relationship with him, making me feel confident that I can mentor others. I believe Christian Leadership Institute can train me to be effective in leadership and also allow me to help others lead. My goal is to make disciples for Christ. I identify with the word “Evangelist,” although I am an ordained Pastor. I see myself as being an Apostle planting churches and leaders in various places. I have dreams of going all over the world, spreading the good news. I am a witness of how God has pointed me in the direction of doing the work of an Evangelist, as well as leading my family and others into the agenda of God for their lives. CLI’s free evangelism ministry training will allow me to follow these dreams.
My family is very supported and I am so thankful to God that they are and they have willing minds. I have a few churches here in Jasper who are supported and leaders who are my mentors as I study to become a great leader through Christian Leadership Institute. Please pray with me that I will fulfill God’s will for my life and help others to learn of Christ and his ultimate sacrifice of love. Pray that I will be equipped to lead them into his purpose for their lives and pray that I am a living example to them.
