My name is Amber McLain, from the United States. I am taking free ministry and Bible courses online at the Christian Leaders Institute (Learn more about free ministry and Bible courses online, Click Here).
My Story
At the wonderful age of 12, I decided that I did not believe in God. I did not feel it in my heart and to say that I did would mean that I was lying. I carried on this belief for 13 years. During this time, I made rash decisions and lived in the flesh. I chased my own desires and end up in a rash and quick marriage. While in this marriage, I experienced loneliness, depression, lovelessness, and severe heartache. After four years of marriage, I found myself divorced.
During my deepest and darkest hour, I knew that I could no longer live in the way I was living. So, on a whim, decided to go to church. I went to church that day by myself. There was a moment the Lord showed me a spectacle of light. I left the church knowing there was a light at the end of my tunnel. Going forward from that day, it was not instantaneous, overpowering, or all-consuming. However, I slowly felt the desire to know the Lord grew a little more every day.
Ministry Calling
The first time I felt the call to ministry was very random. I was driving home from work and thinking about my day and my future. In a moment, the thought came into my head, “You should get into the ministry.” When this thought came, I immediately thought, “That is absolutely insane! I am not someone that is to minister to anyone.” Then after the last three years, there has been a small nudge, and I thought about the future in ministry. As time went on, I started feeling that pull get stronger and stronger.
Finally, I conceded to God’s plan to pursue ministry and do His plan on His path. I am unsure of my destination in ministry. However, I hope with Christian Leaders Institute to discover a better understanding of the path that God has laid out for me. The free ministry and Bible courses at CLI are a blessing!
