My name is Toni McClenon. I reside in the United States. Since our marriage in 1999, my husband and I have five children. I always seek ways to draw closer to God and pray the same for our family, friends, and people worldwide. This desire and my calling to family outreach ministry brought me to the Christian Leaders Institute.
My Testimony
I have always believed in Jesus Christ. After marriage, I began to mature and wanted to elevate spiritually. At one point, I attended a church near my home. I had my first experience receiving the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues. Shortly after I became a church member, doctors diagnosed me with a Chiari I Malformation and hydro syringomyelia, complex brain and spinal cord abnormalities. A new condition to doctors in my area, none of them knew how to treat me. Therefore, I left the situation in God’s hands.
One day, I received a call from a neurosurgeon who performed my brain decompression surgery. I was in the hospital for six days (three days in ICU). During my hospital stay, a staff member was passing my room, and she told me that God was watching over me. She could not find the right words to explain it, but I knew exactly how to explain it. God healed me. He is my healer and yours, too!
God has made a way for me in more ways than I can count. He made a way for me financially to have my brain decompression surgery. He allowed me to regain my physique and be the active person I used to be. My case was passed on to several health facilities, but those doctors turned me down because of the complications surrounding my condition. No one wanted to touch me. The only reason that specific doctor was able to operate on me was because God allowed it. God hand-picked the surgeon specifically for me. This testimony is just one of many for me.
Family Outreach Ministry Training at CLI
I always seek to draw closer to God and need the training, leadership, and management skills to feel more confident sharing the gospel. Since starting the Christian Leaders Institute, I have felt strongly about family outreach ministry. God is calling me to help families in my reach—families and individuals in my community struggling with hardships every day. I continue to pray about it. God is preparing me in this area of ministry. I am so thankful for CLI and the sponsors who make it possible for students to receive free ministry training. Excited about my new journey, I pray that others will come into the knowledge of Christ and accept Him as their Lord and Savior.
