A South African Free Bible School Is Needed

While the poverty situation is improving in current-day South Africa, inequality in the country remains a serious problem. In 2011, it was recorded that there is still as many as 20.2% living in extreme poverty with 45.5% in moderate poverty. For those struggling all throughout the world and who have a desire to minister to others, where can one turn to? The world is in need of such loving people to spread the Word of God.

Even though it doesn’t take a highly intelligent person to preach the gospel, receiving ministry training will better equip you for the battlefield and prepare you in ways unimaginable. There is a solution!

‘With Christian Leaders Institute, we have provided a South African free bible school where one doesn’t need to stress over how to financially receive training for their calling. CLI has also made our classes online so no one is left to figure out how to relocate many miles from home to receive ministry training. Our goal is to raise up as many Christian leaders as possible. It isn’t money we are after. We only want to see more souls being saved, even if that means providing to others sound biblical knowledge for free. It’s not about us. It’s about God.

Christian Leaders Institute works with CLI’s Leadership Excellence School for college credentials and Christian Leaders Alliance for Clergy Credentials.

Student Finds A South African Free Bible School For His Ministry Training

I was born in 1972 at a place called Soweto in Johannesburg, South Africa. Life in Soweto was not smooth. Most young men have to fend for themselves. The political atmosphere was tense. It was the survival of the fittest. Since my mom got married after she parted ways with my father, I grew up under my grandmother’s care.  She started her life without me.  I stayed with my grandma and cousins. When my grandma died, life changed and I started smoking and drinking at the age of 13 years old. I felt unwanted at home so I dropped out of school and wherever I laid my head, that was my home. My mom came back two years later and she brought me home to in Voslooru in 1988.

I was still trapped in the Soweto lifestyle of drinking, smoking, and womanizing. Three years later,  I went back to school and I met my wife and she became pregnant.  I matriculated in 1994 and 1995. I started working but was still trapped in my old ways. I bought a house and by then I had three children and in 2002 we were pregnant again. I was still living my Soweto lifestyle. My wife got born again in 2000. She started praying for me and everything I used. I am talking about my clothes, shoes, beers, smokes, my car, and everything. I was starting to hate myself and the way I lived. One day in 2003, I started crying like a baby asking God why do I live like this?

I want my life to change and God to be part of it. A few weeks later, one Sunday, I just woke up and went to church. Since that day, I have never smoked again or drank again. I started working very hard at church. Even my wife started complaining about the time I spent at church. I guess she was thinking that I am up to my old trick again. A few months down the line, the pastor invited me to the committee meeting and I was asked to join the organizing committee. It was not long when I was asked to take the offerings. Then one thing led to another and I was preaching on Sunday.

I was called to do more for God. I was ordained for ministry in 2011. I am now preaching full-time. A church member showed me Christian Leaders Institute, this South African free Bible school online. Now I can get knowledgeable ministry training. God answered my prayers. I have very little and I want to be used by God to raise up more leaders to advance the kingdom. The world needs institutions like CLI  where the ministry training is free so that more Christian Leaders can be trained to reach the lost, minister to the poor, bring recovery of sight to bring and declare the year of the Lord.  I used to say, the sky is the limit. Now I say, heaven is the limit!

Note: This South African Free Bible School now has thousands of students enrolled from South Africa.
