Gaining Ground In Scripture – CLI Free Ministry Training Enhances Understanding
2 Corinthians 5:7
For we live by faith, not by sight.
Praise God!
Hello everyone! I am Princy from New Delhi, India. My parents work as Chartered Accountants. I have two siblings an elder sister and an elder brother. Since the very beginning of my beautiful christian life i had been in sink with the Lord. My church has contributed a lot in the upbringing of my spiritual life. I would rather say the Christ life. I went to a convent school and all the years of my life were filled with the Holy Trinity guiding me to the light. I remember how i used to mug up the Our Father but i realized the true meaning of the Lord’s prayer when i started gaining sense of prayer and the presence of Jesus when i started attending the prayer group meeting of my church.
I started attending the prayer group meetings regularly and this is when my faith became stronger and the spirit touched me in a way I had never felt before. I started realising the importance of each single word the Lord was trying to tell me.
At a point i actually realised that “forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us” actually meant a lot. I started forgiving people who did wrong to me. This beautiful journey became a blessing when I was chosen by the Lord as the Coordinator of my prayer group. We are called “The Arrows Of Jesus Christ.”
I always had a dream to make my prayer group expand and make Christianity spread across the entire world. This is when i decided that to do that I myself should be thoroughly equipped with the blessings and love of God. I came across CLI and it changed it all.Faith grew from seeds of doubt, and I came upon a whole new world that, for the first time, actually made sense to me. To this day, I do not find faith stifling or constricting. Rather, faith has been liberating and transformative for me. It has opened a constellation of meaning, beauty, hope, and life. I went through the basic class and it made me stronger and stronger.
I just want all of you to pray that may I be able to be as humble and as close to Jesus as possible. May all of us be the replica of our Lord.
No one ever could die for us or send his only soon to give his life for us. Our Lord is the mighty one. May we all have the courage to be his prayer warriors and spread across this mission in the World.Jesus Loves Us All!
David Garrison needed a better ministry education to cater to his fellow soldiers so he enrolled at Christian Leaders Institute and began his journey in gaining pride in himself and pride from God.
Free Military Ministry Training – Changed My Life
My name is David C. Garrison. I am 34 years old and am from Charlotte N.C. and am currently living in Winston Salem N.C. I have a 7 Children who l love completely named Chase 3 years old, Caleb 5 years old, Kayden 7 years old, Nya 9 years old, Zaria 10 years old, Dasha 13 years old and last my oldest Keyonna who is now 16. Me and my wife has been together some time now and we are happiest when we focus our efforts in prayer and worship.
I lived a very harsh life growing up. I went through both physical and sexual abuse from the adults in my family but my mother was always there to help me through. I as a young child was kept in church with my mothers efforts and know of the lord God very well. I was badly injured to near death when hit by a car at 11 years old and from that I learned what the power of prayer was capable of.
I ended up in a very street friendly life. I got deeply involved in gangs and gang banging after I stopped going to church with my mother at the age of 14. By the age of 16 I had left home and started fending for my self only to learn of my brothers death. This brought my attention back to god but I had not yet been saved.
I worked hard in school in order to enter into the US Army where I served 8 years. There I gained a deeper understanding of our savior through the chaplains efforts. That is when I learned of my skill and aptitude of teaching the word. as his assistant I ministered to several soldiers and was compelled by the holy spirit to keep this up. Then after a series of events i stepped back from ministry over waves of depression.
In 2013 I tried to commit suicide. My life had fallen apart and I felt as if there was no saving a person such as myself. I had fallen in to many sins of the flesh the biggest was suffering from alcoholism. Though I never harmed others with my addictions I still destroyed my own mind and body in this process. My wife had left me taking the children and I lost my home. My life had reached a low I had never experienced once I lost my military career.
In the process of bleeding out from cutting my self I had a vision that was as real as the words I’m typing. Jesus came to me saying it was not my time and I still had many to teach, My work had not been finished. This empowered me to get help and once the doctors were baffled with my survival with such little blood in my body I knew it was all through the grace of God. Since I have done all I could to serve the Lord God.
Here in Winston Salem N.C. USA. it will be difficult for me to speak the word to those of my past. They generally see me as a goofy guy. If not goofy then they knew me in my down time when I was completely aggressive. Several people where around when I back slid not to long ago. Those will be the hardest to convince but I’m sure at some point the holy spirit in me will shine through and others will show the proper respect for the God within me.
I became a true christian while enlisted in the army where I was baptized and saved. I began doing missionary works with the other soldiers. The main ones I ministered to where those emotionally destroyed from the training or from missing family. The others would come to me for advice and I would listening to the holy spirit provide scripture which seem to be more then helpful.
My dream in ministry is only to serve the lord in which ever direction he sends me. I would like to pastor a church of my own one day but am not looking to know. I would like to become an associate minister to gain personal, active experience first. Beyond that only wish to serve God and do the works he wishes. I owe that much for him saving me several times and answering my prayers even when I was not following his plan.
I am not one particular thing in these works of god. I am called to ministry but I cant say which way the Lord God will lead me on this calling. I work well with children and do mind teaching them. I have brought several back to the arms of the lord so I would have no issues with being and Evangelist. Pastoral workings I believe is in my future but not the near future. So I am versatile like clay in the saviors hands.
I attend Living word Christian Center in Winston. They have been there in time when my family where homeless. These same people of God have cloth us and fed us as well as. They are a true inspiration of what its like to server the father without fail. They are very supportive of my wife and children growth and i’m sure when time comes they will be happy I took the proper steps to become more educated. With all hopes I would be able to study under the pastor.
My family is amazing in their spiritual walks. My wife anoints the children head before they step out into the world. She also spends personal time with the lord every morning before she leaves for work. When as of her to join me in honor and praise of the lord she never denies me. My children are the ones I truly want to set the example for if no one else. I wish to show them a true man of God and be their reason to carry one. This is why the scholarship is so important.
The fact that I have seven children and I only receive disability means I don’t have much to spare. My wife works hard as she can and from time to time I find extra work. We never miss a week of paying tithing and do all we can to insure our children are happy but its just not enough. I feel that this will be a long battle but I know I can accomplish my goal and this scholarship will help me to that. All that said I know what my calling is because the lord has pulled at my heart consistently. I feel I was lead to find this school because no one I know has heard of it.
The prayer I need is never for myself. I do as that you pray for my children and wife. Their needs supersede my own at every turn. The reason my kids have survived so well and have no went through to many harsh times was because of the prayers going out to them. My wife is a very special Christian and just as the children she is constantly prayed for but I know the power of corporate prayer and wish that for all in my family.
Jessica Nemec wanted a better future for her small town life, so she enrolled at Christian Leaders Institute and set goals to achieve a Big future, at no cost!
Small Town Girl – Free Ministry Training for A Big Future
Hello! My name is Jessica Nemec. I am a 34-year-old stay at home mom to four beautiful children. My husband and I are currently raising our family in a small town in Wisconsin.
Being from a small town, it seems as though everybody knows everybody, and I first started to get to know the Lord when someone we knew introduced us to a local pastor who was teaching confirmation classes. At age 14, I attended these classes and was baptized. Sadly, none of what I had learned or had done as a teenager stuck with me and I found myself falling deeper into the culture of our time.
At just 19 years old, I married my high school sweetheart and we lived out the early years of our marriage as most people did in our area….in the bar. At that moment, we felt as though we were having the time of our life, but as time went on, it got to a point where it just didn’t seem fun anymore. So after some lengthy talks (and fights), we agreed to settle down and try to start a family. It was only at this point that I was able to start reflecting and see just how much pain, suffering and strain the years of drinking brought to our marriage. But, we were done with that now and were going to begin a new chapter in our lives. We were going to start a family! Little did we know what a challenge that would be.
We tried unsuccessfully for a year or two to have a baby and then sought out a fertility doctor. We went through years of fertility treatments and still no baby. Along the way, my mother-in-law invited me to church. I was 25 at the time and hadn’t been to church since my confirmation class, but I went out of courtesy and much to my surprise; it was very different than what I remembered. I remember understanding the sermons in a way that I hadn’t before and feeling like each one had been written about my life. I continued to go to church and committed my life to the Lord in 2007.
After giving my life to the Lord, I no longer felt the desire to continue with our fertility treatments. I still wanted to be a mom but felt in my heart like it was God’s will for us just to be the best aunt and uncle we could be. Turns out, God was just waiting for me to give up control and trust Him because, in December of 2008, I found out I was pregnant with our first child!
We were so excited, and everything went great with the pregnancy until we hit 31 weeks. It was in June of 2009 when I noticed our baby wasn’t moving so I went to the doctor where we then got the worst news of our lives. Our precious baby boy, our first child, had passed away. I was so angry and so hurt that I lashed out at God. My prayers were not kind, I would yell and scream and in the midst of all of this, our loving Heavenly Father reached down and comforted me in a way that I certainly didn’t deserve. It was only by God’s grace that I had the strength to make it through labor, delivery, hello and goodbye with our son. From then on, it seemed as though my anger had subsided. That’s not to say I wasn’t still hurting, but the rage was gone, and I began to focus on re-building my relationship with God.
Just three short months later, I found out I was pregnant again and this time, we delivered a beautiful baby girl! Then a year later, He blessed us with another baby girl. Another year later, another girl! Then, after three amazing girls, God blessed us with a baby boy!
Still, through all of the chaos of having babies, I felt a calling from God try and help other people who had lost children. I spoke with my pastor about it, and he introduced me to another woman who had lost a child. We hit it off immediately and together, with our churches; we formed a grief support ministry that reaches out to people in our area who have experienced the heartbreak of losing a child. My goal now is to help people find the same comfort, strength, love and grace from our Heavenly Father that I found during my darkest hour. Earning a scholarship from CLI would play a huge role in making this happen.
As I mentioned, I am a stay at home mom and with four children, extra money is sometimes hard to come by. My husband is so supportive and I know would do anything to help me follow this dream, but racking up huge amounts of student loans to pursue this calling just isn’t something we can do. That is why I believe that God led me to Christian Leaders Institute. Completing the programs offered by CLI would give me the opportunity to get the training that I need to help people find God in the midst of their trials. This is something that I am extremely passionate about as I truly believe there is no greater gift you can give to someone than the love of Jesus!
I feel so blessed to have this opportunity and will be praying for CLI, their students, and all of those that support this great ministry and make it possible for people like me to follow the dreams that God has placed in our hearts. Also, I appreciate any and all prayers for God’s guidance and wisdom for me and my family as we follow the path that God is leading us down!
Thank you all so much!
