Richard Doolan’s Story

My name is Richard Doolan, USA, and I am studying at the Christian Leaders Institute to become a licensed wedding officiant (Learn more about online Bible classes, Click Here). I was raised in a religious family but had no relationship with Jesus Christ. When I left my boyhood home, I walked away from the church and wandered spiritually. I always had a belief in God, though I did not know the Bible. It was never anything anyone read in our home.

After my wife and I married, we waited 6 years to have kids. We both (miraculously) came together one day with the desire to go back to church. However, we did not just go back but wanted to learn, read, and study the Bible. Knowing no other church but what we grew up in, we searched for Bible studies in those churches. But, we could find none.

A year or so went by when, by God’s grace, my wife’s cousin came back home from the west coast for a short time. She began attending the church we have now attended for 27-28 years. Then, she invited my wife, who went with her several times before I began to attend. Feeling the power and love of God in that church for probably the first time in my life, I gave my life to Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, in 1983. My wife followed shortly after that.

Study at CLI to Become a Licensed Wedding Officiant

As I said, I have been a Christian for 27-28 years. Over this time, my wife and I have walked with the Lord in various ministries at our local church. I am currently a Deacon there, teach Sunday school, a prison Bible study (which will continue when Covid-19 restrictions relax again), and currently lead a men’s virtual Bible study.

My niece, who we are very close to even though she lives 1100 miles away, has asked me to officiate her wedding in June. I believe God has led me to the Christian Leaders Institute to become a licensed wedding officiant. I don’t know where God will lead me regarding CLI after this, but as in all things, I am open to His leading and direction.
