From Christian To Christian Leader Training
We often find our beliefs in things due to the influences around us. Whatever is influencing others in our life usually tends to cross over to what we will find belief in as well. At some point in our life, we all venture off to see what other things are out there. If you have a friend, co-worker, or significant other, sometimes their belief can peak an interest in ours. But what it all boils down to in the end is Jesus. Time and time again, people who go on a spiritual quest are led to the belief of Jesus Christ being the only true way that is real. Sometimes it’s in a moment where we are doing okay in our life, for others God is the last resort. No matter the when and how. It’s what and who you found.
Now that we have found God, many of us wish to tell the world of the truth and realness behind all this “God” talk. Our new mission in life is to spread the message of the gospel. To say, “He is REAL.” Forgiveness and His love is just as real! We want to see others feel the same joy we have in our Father’s love and the love He has for us. A love He has had for us all along. This is where Christian leader training can help you advance in your own walk with the Lord, but to also help prepare you for your specific calling by God in the ministry field.
After Many Studies, Christian Leader Training Prospers Over All Others
My name is Benardo Daniel Caballero. I was born in Colon, Matanzas, Cuba in 1968. Like every Caribbean in those years, I visited the Catholic Church a few times in my childhood. My grandparents from my mother’s side taught us to respect and believe in God since we were little. As soon as I grew older, I stopped visiting church. I studied the philosophy of Marxism and Leninism in high school, together with the idea that we come from evolved apes. My life was deeply influenced by the spiritism and the curanderismo of the African religions, which were very popular in Cuba in those times. After high school I studied Zootecnia (a veterinarian field) on Habana. After graduating I was forced to go to the army, were any religion was prohibited. I served for three and a half years and came back to school. I studied music education at the Superior Pedagogical Institute in Habana.
The influence of the African religion and the communist philosophy made me a little skeptical about what to believe. I escaped the country on the exodus of 1994 of a raft. By the grace of God, I survived and I was sent to Guantanamo base to an emigrant camp. I lived there for almost a year. There I was introduced to a group of Christians, where I learned more about God. However I don’t remember that anyone ever asked me if I had accepted Jesus as my Savior. I never did. When I arrived to Miami, Florida, I was consumed by the American dream and never went back to church on a regular bases. The few times I did, no one showed me the necessity of being saved or the way of doing it. From Miami, Florida I moved to Louisville, Kentucky and from there to Chicago, Illinois where I became obsessive with being successful economically. In Chicago I meet my wife and was married. I never stopped working toward my goals. I tried many jobs and businesses. After long years of hard work and many frustrations the financial world I had built collapsed. I was desperate and decided to look for answers on God. He was my last resource since I tried everything else. He gave me the answers I was looking for.
We started visiting a Christian Church and the pastor Samuel Gonzales become my first mentor. I learned a lot from him. There I accepted Jesus as my Savior. Thanks to him I have not lost that first love. I waited for my parents to be baptized after they came from Cuba. My wife and I were baptized with my parents at Louisville, Kentucky in 2007. Since then, my life has been a constant growing in my faith and knowledge of God. My wife and I have three boys and we are raising them Christian. I want to keep learning to be a better tool for my Lord Jesus Christ. I try not to miss any opportunity of sharing with people how to become saved.
