The Youth Are Seeking Youth Leadership Training
With the youth increasingly falling trap to the ways of the world, it is motivational to see many youths seeking out their place in ministry.

Inspired By Parents To Obtain Youth Leadership Training
My name is Bernard McKenzie Junior. I was born September 6, 1988 and raised in the United States of America in the city of Chicago, Illinois. I work as a Security Officer at a preschool. My mother is an Evangelist and my father is the Pastor and Founder of the McKenzie Mission Non-Denominational Church in Chicago, Illinois. They both have always made sure they kept me in church. Growing up, to not see my parents in the same household, was difficult. My mother was forced to be a single parent and take care of me alone. Sad to say, because of my father’s obligation to his ministry, he tended to neglect me. My mother put her best foot forward to coach me on all that she knew about life, but she could not teach me how to be a man. I had to learn how to be a man on my own. Even though my mother and I worked in his church diligently, it created a lot of bitterness and resentment towards him. I felt unsupported by him, as if he wasn’t interested in what I was doing, and no love from him. The most difficult circumstance was me having to overlook him as a poor father and respect him as my pastor. As I matured in God, He gave me a revelation: “Accept what He allows.” I use this testimony to help other youths who struggle with the issue of being raised in a single-parent home.
At the age of three, my eyesight was so bad the doctors performed an emergency surgery on my eyes. A month after the surgery, I had to gain strength in my eyes to get my eyesight back. I believe that’s when God started to show me visions in my dreams. Both of my parents are prophets of God, and God speaks to me as well. Even to this day, God has a way of showing me things at night while I am resting. Things I don’t necessarily want to see, especially death. I have not always understood everything that God has shown me in my visions but I always write my dreams down in a journal, as I ask him to give me clarity.
A kindergarten teacher taught me my first song, “If anybody asks you who I am, tell them I am a child of God.” I have always had a gift of singing. I never would have imagined God would advance my musical gift as I grew older. As God began to perfect my gift, He used me as one of His vessels to not only sing, but to also write songs to encourage others to get to know Christ just as I do. I am currently the musical director for my father’s church. Being there, directing the choir inspired me to start my own music ministry: “Bernard Jr. & Anchored.” For five years, we sang in many different cities and in March 2013, Anchored had an awesome opportunity to release our first single entitled “Rescue Me.” I am currently working on my solo musical project titled, “Born 2 Win.”
I have always been able to encourage and uplift people’s spirits; whether I was singing, talking, or even blogging on the internet. God has blessed me to be a vessel for Him. My vision is to become a mentor for the younger generation of today. In the churches that I fellowship with including my own, I am very well respected as a man of God. In my city, there are so many youth that are killed due to gun violence. I believe that God is raising up youth leaders to guide them in the path of righteousness. I want to introduce them to God and help them find salvation. My ministry goal is to become a youth pastor. In order to do that I want to ensure I work hard at CLI so I can have the credentials I need. I have always stayed close to God and I have always loved church.
As I matured in God, I realized that it takes more than just going to church every Sunday. The walk with God is daily. I started taking time and reading the word of God daily and praying that I be an example to the Kingdom of God. The Bible says to readers in 2 Timothy 2:15, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” The Lord is calling me beyond singing. God wants me to preach the Gospel to the world, as well as, encourage others. I understand that in order to do this I have to know the word of God for myself. When it comes to evangelizing, I get overjoyed.
Currently, I am not financially stable; therefore, getting my youth leadership training for free with CLI will greatly assist me to acquire this phenomenal training I need to advance into the place where God wants me. Not only will it help me on my journey to achieving my ministerial licensing, but it will also help others. I have a strong position that a lot of the disasters in the world that are inflicted by people are caused by the lack of not being heard, the lack of people understanding what others are going through, and the hurt that these people are releasing. With youth leadership training, it will propel and grant me the opportunity to serve as and minister to those that are hurting.
I’m asking that you continue to pray that God will continue to use me as a vessel to help people to know Him. Pray not only for me, but for every student who are attending CLI that they are walking in the Spirit and not of the flesh and that we are all doing what we are predestined to do, evangelize.

CLI Students Prosper With A No Cost Ministry Training School
Hi, my name is John Moffeit II. I am 30 years old, and I live in the United States. In this country, we are suppose to be quite free to do ministry, although “authorities” sometimes still try and find ways to hinder us. The religious freedoms we enjoy here are certainly being threatened, but for now we are still for the most part free to do ministry.
I grew up in church and thought that I was a pretty good person. I had a mere head knowledge of Jesus, but I didn’t have a relationship with Him. The summer after high school, God brought me to a low place in my life. During this time, it came into my mind (of course it was God) to pick up the New Testament that I had been given years earlier and to read one chapter a day. As I did this, God began to deal with my heart, convicting me of my sinful, lost condition. He opened my eyes to see that I had never repented, that I was lost, and on my way to hell. For the first time, I understood why Jesus came and who He was. I understood that He died for me on the cross. I needed to believe on The Lord Jesus Christ and be saved! So close to the end of reading through the N.T., one night, alone in my room, I got down upon my knees and called upon the Name of The Lord! That night I was born again; PRAISE THE LORD!!!
My ministry dream is to “do the work of an evangelist” (2 Tim 2:5), and to enter into the Lord’s work in a greater way. I feel that The Lord is leading me and stirring me up to equip myself in a greater way for the plans He has for me in the future. I don’t know where He will lead me yet, but my goal is to follow His call by better equipping myself, and to follow Him wherever He leads me. I know that God has called me to Preach His Word, and preach it I must! I could see myself possibly joining an evangelistic ministry as an evangelist, or being a gospel street worker, or even possibly ministering in another country. We’ll see where God leads! God has put a fire in my bones to preach His Word, and I do preach at a nursing home once a month along with a few other opportunities that I sometimes get. But through various ways and means He has showed me that He wants me to serve Him in a greater capacity. He has put within me a “woe is me, if I do not preach the Gospel!” conviction and earnestness. As I have tried to be content with less, God has showed me that He wants to use me more!
One unique challenge in my area is that most people are so comfortable that they think that they don’t need God. Another challenge is that many people go to church as a weekend ritual and think they’re okay with God because of this (like I used to think), but haven’t truly been born again. These somewhat religious ones are quite difficult to reach. They see themselves as “good” and think that a mere intellectual accent to the Truths of Christianity is the same as being saved. Also, since most people grew casually hearing about Jesus, many of them take Christianity for granted, and don’t recognize the precious, priceless treasure that Jesus is!
My local church supports me by using me to preach in the Nursing Home ministry, to teach at Vacation Bible School, to go preach in a yearly Young People’s Bible School, and to preach in our main services from time to time. My wife also supports me wholeheartedly. She strongly encourages me to head in the direction that God is leading us. My wife and 3 little kiddos always go with me to the Nursing Home too.
A scholarship at CLI is very important to me because I see the need and benefit of getting some necessary training from here. Seeing how I work full time with a wife and 3 kids, going to a normal Bible School is not an option. The schedule wouldn’t work for us, nor do we have the money for it. But I am very excited about the training and courses at CLI. I know that it will help me to be more well rounded and better equipped. I can’t wait to enroll in my next class! Please pray for me that I will fulfill God’s call on my life, and be able to say with Paul, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course…”

My name is Moses Jasi and I’m 30 years of age.
I was born in Harare a town in Zimbabwe.
Today I currently am working as an assistant pastor with one of the local ministries in a nearby suburb.
I thank God for my ministry dream, to be able to build an evangelistic team that runs parallel to the local church that I submit and serve in. I have felt a need to further training as a pastor but was not sure how. When I first came across this online platform I saw an opportunity that enabled me to further my desire to become a better pastor.
I felt a call of God upon my life at a very tender age and later realized it after I gave my life to Christ on 23 December 1999. My dream is to pursue training as a pastor so I can help raise a youth that will be able to take the message of the cross into their societies. It came to me that if no one had preached to me when I was in junior school, “What could have happened to me?” Now I would like to go back to my home area and engage in a schools ministry. I would be preaching and teaching to youth in colleges and high schools about knowing God when you are still young.
I gave my life to Jesus in 1999. This was one of the most important things I have ever done. That day changed my life and it has influenced my present and life to come. Thank God for Christian Leaders Institute. I came to know that eternal life starts the day you give your life to Christ. That experience alone and seeing my old friends and colleagues still living in sin, unsaved, has prompted me to pursue pastor training. With Christian Leaders Institute I can pursue Ministry training free and safe online.
A unique challenge I have faced here in Zimbabwe is the fees that are associated with a local Bible school. Their fees and the curriculum they are offering have not been an encouragement to me. That’s why when I came across CLI I felt this is what I am looking for. Thank you Rev. Reyenga for an initiative in online free ministry training.
My local church has been of positive impact in my training as a pastor. With the help of my pastor and mentor, Pastor Ackson Mudarikire, I have had opportunities to grow. I have been given an opportunity to run a campaign with the youth and sometimes I get to preach at a church service. This platform has been of great help to get me to realize that I will always need extra training.
My family has played a major role in my calling to pursue training to become a pastor. Thanks to my father who has been a pillar of strength. He encouraged me in times when I was losing hope. My father was the first preacher in my life. With his help I prepared my first sermon in life at the age of 10. He serves as an elder in one of the local Presbyterian Churches in Harare .We as a Christian family we take time to pray and study the Bible together. This has contributed positively in my calling and the family has been a place of great comfort and encouragement.
At this point in time I really thank God for Christian Leaders Institute because it stands with donations we contribute. My finances are squeezed and I cannot afford a paid tuition for my dreams to come true. I really appreciate the miracle of being awarded a scholarship at CLI. Without it I could not pursue ministry training during this time of my life. This is not an opportunity that I take for granted. Just to come and learn something that will impact your life for eternity is priceless. It will be my honor to be considered for a scholarship and to be able to further my studies in theology. Thank you very much for this online platform and may God bless you.
