Australia Free Online Ministry Training
Jarad Bennet was taking a nap. Suddenly, he sensed the power of God and the Holy Spirit put a thought in his mind, “Search Free Online Ministry Training on the Internet.” Jarad did so immediately and found Christian Leaders Institute. He is part of many leaders who have found Australia free online ministry training for their callings. Jarad’s story is incredible. Here is a guy that God has saved, brought to a great church, mentored by a local pastor and now called into ministry.
Jarad was born in August of 1988. He grew up having knowledge of the Lord. In his youth, he struggled with ADHD. His family life was complicated, and he experienced much abuse in extreme ways. Jarad said, “I was regularly abused in over-the-top ways and would ‘look to the skies and blame God.'” He still attended church until age 18. Jarad was kicked out of his house when he was 18. That was in 2006.
Jarad married and started having children. But his life was heading in the wrong direction. He said,
During the years of 2013-2014, I was a horrible person. Horrible to my wife and kids, family and friends. I was IN the world and I was OF the world. After a major life-changing event in 2014, I slowly came to want to change myself honestly and forever.
Jarad attended church again in January of 2015. The journey back to God was beginning.
Australia Free Online Ministry Training Inspiration
Jarad and his wife moved to a new community and found a local church. Interestingly, Jarad’s wife had a friend from school days that attended the church. On Easter of 2015, Jarad and his family started to attend this local church. They began to attend regularly,
Then, after a while, we went back again and continued going. Our pastor started coming to our house regularly, teaching us the word of God, and we were changed and renewed.
The ministry of this local church and the power of the Holy Spirit descended on Jarad’s life, and this calling to study was connected with Australia free online ministry training in a powerful way. Jarad tells the story this way,
God showed up through certain events, and I seriously felt the presence of the Holy Spirit working in my life. I felt I was being urged to learn more. Not to know more but because the Lord has a much larger plan for me. I brought this to people at church, and they were really encouraging so I decided to tell our pastor. Before I did though, when I was taking a nap, I felt the Lord’s voice in the form of a thought, search ‘free online ministry training’. I awoke, searched and here I am. I told my pastor that night about my urgings, and he was indeed encouraged, but, because I am only recently back, asked me to relax for a while so I didn’t mention CLI.
Jarad realized that the pastor’s wisdom to proceed carefully in pursuing ministry was sound. The Bible warns us about not laying on hands too quickly. Jarad was listening to a sermon on the radio where the preacher encouraged everyone to develop their talents. Jarad knew that he needed to heed the calling to learn and take classes at Christian Leaders Institute. The fact is that Christian Leaders Institute presents this Australia free ministry training in such a way that allows new students to examine and test their callings.
After Jarad had signed up for this Australia free ministry training, his pastor committed to supporting and mentoring him. Jarad commented,
“My pastor is extremely supportive with my calling and wants me to fulfill God’s desires and is always there for me whenever I get stuck.”
Australia Free Online Ministry Training An Opportunity
Future ministry leaders of any economic ability now have an opportunity for high-quality ministry training. Christian Leaders Institute promotes a donation model where the ministry training is free. Enrollment, classes, and tests are all included. All the classes can be taken online on computers, Smart Phones or tablets. The only fees charged are small fees for official awards. The divinity degree also has a small fee that pays for personalized attention needed for an accredited degree. The total amount of that four-year degree fee is $2,000. Major seminaries like Calvin Theological Seminary will admit CLI students. Jarad appreciated this opportunity, and he wrote,
Studying with CLI is going to enable me to follow God’s will. I do not have the funds to study in this country and in my current situation, but God always provides when our desires are in line with His Will so CLI is helping me to fulfil God’s will.
This Australia free online ministry training is not just for Australia. Christian Leaders Institute serves over 150 countries now. Thousands are graduating in certificates, diplomas and degrees.
Lesotho Bible Study
Lesotho Bible study is spreading though trained leaders from Christian Leaders Institute. This ministry training is free and available for Christian Leaders. Lesotho Bible study is critical because Christian leaders and pastors in Lesotho have not had access to high-quality Bible study training. This testimony from Atisang Mokhele at Christian Leaders Institute illustrates the need for Lesotho Bible study training.
Greetings to you all. I live in a country called Lesotho in the town of Maseru. MY counry landlocked by Africa. It can be pretty tough sharing Christ here simply because most of the people believe that they are Christian even though that may not necessarily be the case. There are no laws in particular that impede sharing the Gospel or being a believer. The landscape is flooded with churches but very little transformation is taking place largely because of the lack of training within the clergy and the many strongholds that Basotho have bound themselves to.
How I came to the saving knowledge of Christ was pretty gradual. Christ pulled me out of darkness, He came to me and called me out. For years I would see Christians with their Bibles in school and I would wonder what awkwardness and total weirdness that was, not knowing that His work in my life had begun. when I was in university as a freshman, I raised my hand at a service held in campus when people were asked to raise their hand in order to receive Christ. My conversion wouldn’t be complete and genuine until I met a missionary, who is now a dear friend, with Africa Inland Mission, who lives and carries out her ministry in the town of Maseru. She is the one who fully explained the Gospel to me in a Lesotho Bible study and I made a decision for Christ following that and have never turned back. That was back in 2007/8.
Lesotho Bible Study Training at CLI
At present, I know for sure I need to be getting ministry training. I had been seeking a way to get training when incredibly at about the same time I came across Christian Leaders Institute which I believe was God’s plan for me. My personal ministry dream is not entirely clear at this point. I am however passionate about evangelism, teaching the Word and making lasting relationships with other believers. I believe these things God has put in my heart and in time it will become clearer what it is God has planned for me and my family. For now I just know I need to get training.
Evangelism as I have already mentioned is a very huge part of what my ministry ambitions are. I wish to see my countrymen come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. In the book of Romans it talks about people knowing only when others tell them about the Gospel. It is my hope that those who will come to know Christ will with the same excitement share the Good news of His Love.
Right now I’m not in active ministry, I am part of a local church and a bible study group. The desire to see people being taught the Word of God in Spirit and In Truth I believe is what launched my quest for ministry Training. It is The Holy Spirit I believe who put it in my heart to not just be a pew warmer but to go out, fulfill His mission and edify the Body through all that He has put in me. For the longest time in my faith walk, I was not getting solid bible teaching so when I met Jo Fernandez, my ministry mentor and my bible study facilitator (my missionary friend), I received solid biblical teaching and from then on I knew I wanted my countrymen to be at the receiving end of sound teaching from the Word of God.
The key challenge I believe the Church face here is the thick, tough wall of ancestral worship that veils our spiritual eyes as Basotho. Put that together with the many churches that colour the landscape, you have a strongly intertwined sycretism of a Biblical Worldview with an animistic African worldview that is hard to penetrate and untangle. It took many years for me to personally come out of it. The same applies for most Basotho. Very few see that its even something that exists. Its okay for a person to go to church on Sunday and slaughter a white chicken tomorrow to remove some bad omen or curse they were placed under for one reason or another. This gives many a pastor and missionary much headache.
After finding out about CLI, I immediately let my local church pastor know that I was considering taking up the scholarship. He was more than okay with the idea. I also talked with him about letting other church folk know so that if there are any who want to get the training they could. The church fully supports this move. At least I know that the pastor knows, I don’t know if the rest of the board knows.
What I know for sure is that my family fully supports me and the path that I have taken concerning ministry. By family I mean my wife. Her consent is all that matters. As long as I have time for the family, and they don’t feel neglected, I’m happy. Her support means the world to me. I’m grateful that she is behind me all the way. As for my 8 month old son, well, I’m sure he’ll understand. I do hope to minister together with my wife, in whatever way that may look like.
It really is a wonderful thing that God is doing through CLI. Thousands upon thousands will benefit from free ministry training saving many thousands in costs. I know for sure I could never afford to go seminary from my own pocket. I was always looking for a window of opportunity The Lord would open up for me. I believe CLI is that window. Quiet simply put, without CLI, i would probably never realize my ministry dream. So it [CLI] has helped me at least believe that I will live to see my ministry dreams and goals come to fruition.
My ministry calling is gradually unfolding. I don’t want to force The hand of God, that is both impossible, but I would like to see more clearly what it is He wants for me at this point in my life. It would be wonderful to get some prayer support here. Also for more and more Basotho to desire to get training ministry training as we continue spreading the message of the Good News of Jesus Christ.
