Read Hundreds of 5-star reviews and recommendations by graduates around the world
"What you read about and what you see presented IS exactly as stated. This isn’t a watered-down program. Often we see the possibility as “free” as too good to believe. In this case, these are genuine fully legitimate programs. Don’t wait dig in. I have other degrees from traditional Universities. My Masters work was at a traditional university. The programs presented at CLI rival anything else I’ve done. The LORD works through this ministry."
