Free Christian Ministry Training
A Miracle Of Healing Only By Jesus
CLI student, Hamilton Felix Chiutare:
I was born in Zimbabwe in 1970. I attended early church at Roman Catholic, mainly because our mother insisted that we attend. As I grew older I stopped attending completely. Due to economic problems in Zimbabwe, I moved to Botswana in 2003. My residence is in Botswana where my family currently lives but I’m currently employed in Zambia. This is the story that changed my life, how I was saved, and the ministry I am pursuing.
I went to work in Mozambique for 3 years from 2011 to 2013. While in Mozambique, I applied for work in Zambia and was successful. I went back home to Botswana in preparation to move to Zambia for my new assignment. I completed all the formalities with my new employer and I was given the air ticket and travel dates. With a week to go to Zambia for my new assignment, on 21st November, 2013 at around 3 a.m, I woke up with a strong headache. I couldn’t sleep and started vomiting, pain killers could not help. My wife took me to the local private surgery but all the treatments could not stop the headache. They gave me bed rest thinking it was a migraine but nothing helped. In the afternoon I requested that they transfer me to the public medical facility in our village. On arrival, I was immediately transferred to the district hospital and a variety of medical tests were done.
Due to the fact that I had been to Mozambique, they thought that it was malaria but the tests came back negative. By now, my left eye was beginning to see double vision and I could not walk without support. The doctors booked me into the ward for observation as all tests done were negative. I was injected with a powerful pain killer but it worked only for 3 hours. By 2130 hours, I was awake and the headache persisted. The doctors could not do anything to help me. The next day my left eye had shut down but still the doctors could not say what was wrong with me. We made a decision as a family to transfer me to a private hospital in the capital city in the afternoon since the doctors could not tell us the cause of the headache. A quick head scan was done but the doctor on duty could not see anything. He advised us to return the next day to see the resident neurologist. The next day, a detailed head scan was done and it showed a tumor of the pituitary gland which was over 3cm large. The headache had probably been due to bleeding of the tumor. The doctor advised that I needed surgery as soon as possible and he referred me to his colleagues in Zimbabwe since the cost of surgery was not affordable at this private hospital( I had no medical aid). I went to Zimbabwe and tried everything to have the surgery done, but nothing worked as we faced barriers every time. My brother’s pastor and various members of his church came to pray for me. During this period, I gave my life to Christ and became saved. My health started improving and I stopped taking pain killers. I went back to Botswana, joined a local church where they prayed for me, and Jesus Christ healed me. My eye started opening up and the sight started returning to my eye.
On New Year’s day, I went for an all night prayer and the guest pastor who had come to our church for the first time called me to the front and told me that God had chosen me and I was going to be a pastor. She asked the church pastor and leadership to lay hands on me and they did. After 2 weeks I was on the plane to Zambia to start work. Many people could not believe what God had done in about 50 days. I’m now well and at work in Zambia with no more pain or sickness. I joined a local church in Zambia who continue to support and guide me in my walk with God. The pastor I met in Zambia is my mentor and I shared my story with him. The local church in Botswana is helping through encouragement. In Zambia the local church is helping through cell group meetings where everyone is given a chance to lead on a topic of their choice. In the main service, I am given a chance to present exaltation in giving once in a while. I have also joined the intercession team which supports my prayer life. With CLI’s free Christian ministry training, it will help me develop a strong foundation as a pastor and will enable me to bring God’s Word to people back home.
My goal is to bring the Word of God to many others in my local area through my testimony of what God did for me after 43 years in the wilderness and darkness. I want to tell others how their walk with Jesus Christ can bring change into their lives from a personal experience.

CLI Free Online Ministry Training Ready To Conquer Spiritual Disadvantages
Living as a Christian in a non-Christian world can be challenging at times. We face many oppositions and spiritual disadvantages all over the world. Some are faced with imprisonment and death. Some face the challenges of not being able to publicly profess their faith in Christ. Children are even encountering persecution of the world in their own public school amongst teachers and classmates. Parents are called if their child is seen reading a bible or speaking to others about Jesus. Prayer outside the church is not allowed. The list of spiritual disadvantages that Christians face all around the world can go on and on.
As Christian leaders we must be equipped for such spiritual battles. To be encouraged by the Word of God in facing persecution. A necessary tool of knowledge to endure and keep going for the works the Lord has given and entrusted us with. With CLI free online ministry training, graduates will learn of ways to handle the spiritual disadvantages in our local area. What Jesus went through is nothing compared to our sufferings. Jesus has already showed us our worth to him. So in return, to spread the gospel, He too is worth it all.
Bill Dayton Prepares With CLI Free Online Ministry Training
Hello and may the blessings of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you! My name is Bill Dayton, and I live in the Northwoods of Wisconsin in the United States. I come from a Jewish family, who were forced to flee Belarus under the cover of night after my Great-grandfather (the head rabbi in Minsk) was murdered in front of his congregation on the steps of his temple. They set his beard on fire in order to make an example of him.
As a young man, I was forged in the fires of Torah and Messianic prophecy. Though I belonged to a religion, I couldn’t get on board with a God that would have allowed such awful things to happen to people that dedicated their lives to Him. I believed in God, but I decided that I would take the ammunition of His Word and make it work against Him. I would actively argue people out of their faith, arguing Messianic scripture with Christians, “disproving” that He could be the Christ. This has weighed on me heavily since I was brought into the fold of Christ.
You see, one day, I met my match in the form of a French pastor named Olivier. This man was absolutely consumed by the Word and on fire with the Holy Spirit. Every argument I would make against Christ would be dismantled in short order. Soon, he was using my own Tanakh against me. Psalm 22. Isaiah 53. The more I searched for a way to disprove Christ, the more I realized that it was impossible. He was the Messiah. He was the Son of God. And I knew that I had made a fatal choice. I needed to change. And the Holy Spirit blasted through me, as I dropped to my knees and accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior. This was the key turning point in my life.
I currently live in the United States, and I feel that people who live here are at a serious spiritual disadvantage. We are in a place where we don’t need to rely on God. We are rich beyond our wildest dreams…and many of us don’t even realize it. With that said, to minister to Americans in a way that moves them to live in a fashion in line with that of Biblical expectation is often times like pulling teeth. Why give up everything when all they have to do is believe in Jesus in order to be saved? I would reply that the Devil believes in Jesus, too. Christ died for us. The very least that we as Christians can do is live for Him.
My ministry dream is to plant a church that resembles that of the early Church in as many ways as possible. It would not be to form a Mega Church. Amassing congregants isn’t my ministry mission. My mission would be to show people how to live as closely to Biblical tenets as humanly possible, and when not humanly possible, let the Advocate take over. My goal is not to have people raise their hands, approach the altar, sign a card, or wear a Jesus Freak T-Shirt. My mission is to get away from bumper sticker Christianity and help develop a community that lives the Message; that evangelizes at all times, and when necessary, uses words.
I would say that Church Planter would best describe me. I am eager to start a congregation that brings the Word to the people that need it most. I would sacrifice everything to bring the Word to the prisons, to the homeless shelters, to the rehabs and hospices. We are the Body of Christ, and I take that very seriously. Seeing millions of people die each year without being given the opportunity to know Christ is what calls me to ministry. My local church has supported me in my call to ministry by both pastors becoming mentors, as well as allowing me to be a part of the new Youth Evangelization training program.
I have five children, with another on the way. Being a father has changed my life in ways that I could never have imagined. God has blessed me by allowing me to marry my best friend and mentor in faith. He is the true head of my household, and we all know that. My family is completely behind me in this decision, and we are all very eager to do the will of God. Because I have been blessed by the Lord with such a large family, it would be nearly impossible to afford the cost of an education through a typical seminary. On top of that, to spend time away from home on a physical campus could put an unnecessary burden on my wife in my absence. With CLI free online ministry training, it will allow me to grow in my faith, to develop ministry skills that I would otherwise not have access to, and give me the opportunity to help grow the Church.
All that matters to me in the entire world is to do the will of our Lord Jesus Christ, and so I would ask that you pray for me on this journey of faith that the Holy Spirit guides me in a direction that would always be pleasing to the Father.

Ministry Training Online To Plant Future Churches
What is church planting? Church planting is a process that results in a new, local Christian church being established. With ministry training online, future Christian leaders are equipped to be involved in this process. For a local church to be planted, it must eventually have a separate life of its own and be able to function without its parent body, even if it continues to stay in a denominational relationship or through being part of a network. Leaders are seeking out ministry training online to not only plant future churches, but to also be a part of other ministerial works. From youth leader to pastor, evangelist to church planter, ministry training online will help you achieve your ministerial dreams!

Ministry Training Online To Fulfill Many Ministerial Dreams
My name is Ashley Benz and I am currently living in the United States of America. I am a youth leader at my local church and an aspiring pastor. Ministry in the United States is very different from other places in the world. Here, people are more open about their faith or beliefs whether they are Christian or not. Doing ministry in the United States is a great opportunity because you can have the privilege of meeting and evangelizing to different races of people from all walks of life. Living in Hawaii, the geography creates a different dynamic than most people are used to. The challenges of Hawaii include distance (making sure churches are easily accessible to everyone) and church culture (establishing a family dynamic). I have enrolled in the Christian Leadership Institute so that I may further my knowledge and understanding of God and ministry and be able to transform the world for Jesus.
I came to know the Lord through my parents at a young age. I accepted Jesus, on my own, when I was four years old. I have attended church for my entire life. My accepting Jesus at such a young age, I came to grow up in the church. Eventually, my walk with Jesus grew stale and I found myself going to church for the sake of the people there and not so much for my relationship with God. However, in 7th and 8th grade, I entered into youth ministry at my church and my entire view of Jesus changed. I started to really read my Bible, raise my hands in worship, pray, and seek out spiritual gifts from the Holy Spirit. Since falling in love fully with Jesus, my relationship with Him has taken me to new heights and has allowed me to do so much more then I ever could without Him. My experience of meeting with Jesus in youth ministry prompted my decision to become a youth leader. I have been a youth leader for five years and I can identify with the words youth leader and pastor and church planter because a youth leader is what I am, a pastor is what I want to be, and I would like to plant a church or help plant a church someday.
My ministry dream is to one day leave my local church and branch off to start a church with some of my close friends and mentors that have the same heart and call as me. I hope to establish a church to be named New Life Church in Spokane, Washington. I aspire to create a church culture that thrives and attracts people from all walks of life to experience Jesus in a real, engaging, encouraging way. I also desire to start a halfway house were victims of human trafficking can receive healthcare, therapy, and the good news of Jesus. My local church has helped me in this calling by allowing me to connect with people who have the same dreams as I do and by equipping me to serve people and by allowing me to strengthen my walk and love with Jesus. My family has also supported my dreams, by allowing me to freely learn and devote time to the call that I believe God has placed on my life and by praying for me and encouraging me.
Please pray that, when the time comes, the appropriate funds would be given to start a church and that my church would have grace on me as a leader and that they would continue to support me and give me more opportunities to serve. Please pray that God would supply me with finances for living and for being in ministry, as well as, that I can be a good small groups leader for the students in my care.
