Online Prison Ministry Training
After someone is incarcerated, they lose many things. They lose the ability to gain the high paying jobs. They lose relationships. They lose their reputation and opportunities.
But though they may lose much, it is possible through God to actually gain more. Being in prison forces people to face the truth about themselves and their relationship with God. This happened to Erinn. While in prison, she lost the world but gained her soul. She came to know the Lord who loved her and in the process she gained an eternal destiny. Now she is seeking online prison ministry training through Christian Leaders Institute so that she can minister to others.
Here is Erinn’s story. This is a story of inspiration and hope for those seeking to reach the lost.
Hello, my name is Erinn, I live in the United States. I know that I am called to be a witness to others and consider it a blessing to minister to the people the Lord sends my way. I love to share my testimony. I came to know the Lord ten years ago while I was in jail. As a result of reading the Bible I came to have a personal relationship with Him. Everyday I am amazed at how truly blessed I am. Glory be to God! The Holy Spirit has gifted me in many ways. I know in my heart and soul that my calling is in Deliverance, Intercessory Prayer, Casting out Spirits, and Sharing the TRUTH. My dream is to become a chaplain/ordained minister. I want to visit jails, hospitals, prisons, and anywhere where there are people who need prayer.
It would be an honor to become a Youth Leader because I can relate to everything they are going through. I also have a charismatic personality which draws people to me. I have a heart for serving and love Jesus. And I can draw from my own life experiences. For starters I overcame a life of crime, depression, drug addiction, insecurity, and even attempted suicide. My testimony is this, God has delivered me from it all! What the enemy meant for evil God has turned around for good! He has also told me many times in prayer that…“Through you many will be saved.” How amazing!!
He works through me to save souls. Some unique challenges in my area are addiction, homelessness, and hopeless souls. My local church Free Chapel has supported me in my calling by sponsoring me through a one year discipleship program. Training at CLI is imperative for my growth. I trust that they have my and God’s best interest at heart (Psalm 139).
God Bless You!

From Healing to Ministry
My name is Tracey Mixon and I’ve recently moved to a small town south of Houston, TX named Webster. I am married with 3 children, 2 step-children, 2 grandchildren and a dog. I am currently a registered nurse and I am in graduate school studying to be a nurse practitioner. I also have a calling for art. I’ve been a portrait artist for 16 years. I originally grew up in Georgetown, TX.
I had been married 18 years to someone who didn’t have an interest in the Lord. We experienced an extremely messy divorce that caused me to lose everything but my faith. A year later, I met a man who was the youth minister at our sister church. He helped me through his prayer and counsel to put my life back on track. We were recently married and he continues to support me in my calling to ministry. In 2014, I discovered an opportunity to be an ordained minister through Universal Life Church and ministry training through Christian Leaders Institute.
Having been in the medical field for 25 years, I am very drawn to the aspect of healing. Reading about how Jesus and his disciples went through the land healing with faith amazes me. In 2010, I was miraculously healed from chronic lung disease after dedicating my life to Jesus at an alter call. My dream ministry would be to be able to make people whole again by healing them in mind, body and spirit just as I was. I would love to glorify the Lord and be able to heal those who were told that there is no cure for them. The desire to heal had prompted me to pursue a medical career and being healed had prompted me to pursue ministry.
I am a member of a local non-denominational church by the name of Restoring Hope International Fellowship Church. The pastors of this church are highly motivated to mentor me. I have begun leadership orientation; I serve on the intercessory prayer team and the art ministry team. I can see myself as a small group leader because of my calling to heal. I believe transformation occurs best in small groups where you can focus on specific topics and be more personable with the members. I have no desire at this moment to run the business of an entire church. In the area, I live in there are so many churches to choose from of all different denominations including non-denominational. Growth is a huge challenge in this environment.
I pray that a scholarship with the Christian Leaders Institute could teach me how to deepen my relationship with God so that I could help others do the same. I hope to learn the Word and be effective in teaching. I pray to learn what it means to be a minister and how to conduct myself appropriately. I pray that this course will guide me to the necessary spiritual maturity needed to glorify God. Please pray for my success in ministry training and the healing ministry I plan to pursue.
