Women’s ministry – Lisa has felt a strong calling from the Lord to be involved in ministry  She needed the proper training and a quick search online led her to us. Read her testimony below.

“My name is Lisa Maltby and I currently live in the USA in the great state of Tennessee.  I was blessed to be raised in a Christian home with two loving parents that love the Lord.  I felt the Lord’s calling on my life when I was a young child but I ran from that calling and from God for years.

In 2010 I was invited to go to a Ladies Conference with the women’s ministry group at a church that I had just started attending.  I was battling depression at the time and would have panic attacks even trying to go into the local Wal-Mart.  At my husband’s encouragement I stepped out of my comfort zone and went to the conference and God used it to get a hold of me.  Since then He has delivered me from depression and has reignited the ministry calling He put on my life over 30 years ago.”

A vision for women’s ministry

“God has given me a vision that He wants to use both my husband and me to reach thousands of people.  I do not yet have clear direction as to where He has called us, but I felt impressed in my heart that it was time to start preparation for the ministry.  My husband is out of work right now and so money is tight but I stepped out in faith and decided to do an internet search for online ministry training.

God is faithful and the first link that popped up was for CLI.  It immediatly caught my attention and I started reading.  I signed up and have spent most of my waking hours doing the Getting Started Class which has drawn me closer to the Lord.  I am so thankful that there is a ministry like CLI that gives scholarships which allow people like me to go forward in preparation for the ministry that God has placed in my heart.

A scholarship from CLI means that I can prepare for women’s ministry without worrying about going into debt.  Please pray that God will give my husband and me a clear vision as I do classes and that He will open the doors that need to be opened.”
