Occupy Heaven – Multiply Hope A Texas Movement and Conferences

Raising Ministers in Texas for a Heavenly Mission Amidst Technological Marvels

In a world captivated by technology, where pioneers like Elon Musk lead the charge toward interplanetary exploration, our imaginations are drawn to the stars. This global excitement, especially resonant in Texas – home to space exploration endeavors – sets a backdrop for our spiritual mission. The Christian Leaders Institute has thousands of students, graduates, and ordained ministers in Texas who are on a mission to invite people to Occupy Heaven (CLI) 

2024-2025: Embracing a Heavenly Focus in the Lone Star State

For the next two years, the CLI is promoting the theme “Occupy Heaven – Multiply Hope.” This theme is a reminder for Texans to balance their admiration for Mars exploration with the eternal promises of Heaven. It invites Texans to engage in their true mission: spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ and offering the joy of salvation and heavenly citizenship.

Theme Verse: Occupy Heaven – Multiply Hope

Philippians 3:20 echoes this mission, reminding us of our ultimate citizenship in Heaven as we eagerly await Jesus Christ.

Global Conferences with a Texan Twist in 2024-2025: A Faith and Learning Odyssey

CLI will host conferences all over the world. These gatherings for Christian leaders include Texas, where CLI is prioritizing the effort! CLI president Henry Reyenga will attend meetings in February of 2024 and beyond. This conference will be transformative, with vision casting, prayers, ordination services, and breakout sessions! 

Educational Opportunities in Christian Leadership – Texas Edition

CLI remains committed to providing free and low-cost Christian leadership education. Now, with a special focus on the needs and context of Texas, these programs will equip students to effectively lead in their communities, whether in bustling Houston or the serene Hill Country.

Empowering Texan Christian Leaders through Ordination with the Christian Leaders Alliance

Once verified, you can set up your profile with a name and photo, and the app will automatically sync your contacts. You’re then ready to start messaging, making voice or video calls, and participating in group chats. Remember, WhatsApp requires an internet connection to function.
