Hello, my name is Chris Ongeimungu, and this is my story. In 1993, I was born in the heart of the city of Kampala, the capital of Uganda. I am thankful for the free online training for ministry I am receiving at the Christian Leaders Institute (Learn more about online free Bible courses, Click Here).
My Spiritual Journey
I grew up in a Christian home. My dad was Catholic and my mum was a born-again Christian In a Pentecostal church in Uganda. My mun raised us as Christians. All the scripture I knew while growing up, she taught me it. The God I serve, she introduced me to Him. I gave my life to Christ in 1999 as a little boy. I tried to live a Christian life all my childhood and into my teenage life. However, it wasn’t easy. I later recommitted my life to Christ in 2010 and purposed to walk in the light and to serve God with all that is within me.
Free Online Training for Ministry at CLI
Growing up under the training of a mother who had the whole family in her hands and an absent father, education wasn’t a necessity. Even so, my siblings and I sailed through our schooling. I made it to a Diploma in Journalism and Mass Communications and graduated in 2016.
After graduation, I never went to work anywhere that wasn’t within the confines of the church. So, to this day, I serve and work in the church. Being a student at Christian Leaders Institute is helping me champion the servant leader in me. It is also equipping me to do great things in my area of influence.
Further, I plan on using the free online training for ministry at the Christian Leaders Institute to serve God better with a deeper understanding and equipping for ministry.

Hello, my name is Kelley Carson. I live in rural New York State (United States) with a wonderful husband of 35 years, two grown children, and two wonderful grandchildren. I am getting affordable Biblical training online at the Christian Leaders Institute (Learn more about online free Bible courses, Click Here).
My Spiritual Journey
But my life didn’t start out so wonderful. When I was a young teen, growing up as the child of an alcoholic mother, I came to believe that the world would be a better place without me. While planning my suicide, God brought a woman into my life who introduced me to Christ. After accepting Christ as my Lord and Savior, my life changed completely.
God has used every means possible to grow me in my faith over the past 40 years. I have learned much through church attendance and good preaching. Also, personal Bible study, daily devotions, and prayer time added greatly to my relationship with Jesus and God the Father. Preparation for teaching Bible studies has frequently caused me to dive deeper into the Word of God than I ever would have for just my knowledge. I truly believe though, that it is daily living through trials and triumphs with God in my life that enables me to say, “it is well with my soul.”
My Calling
Most of my adult life was involved teaching and corporate training. The Lord has provided me with the gift of teaching. So, I want to use it more for His kingdom than just to make a living. When my children were young, I taught school, so I was blessed to have breaks and summers off to be with them. I was able to teach children’s Sunday School and Vacation Bible School and led an occasional adult Bible Study. I enjoyed nothing more than teaching people about Jesus.
In 1990, I lost my dear sister to cancer. Although she had gone home to be with the Lord, I was angry to be without her. God was patient with me. Eventually, He used this loss to plant a ministry in my heart to make quilts for cancer patients around the world. I found myself teaching women of all ages how to quilt and holding devotions at every workshop. Ultimately, I worked with dozens of volunteers which grew into establishing several independent church quilt groups. I love being part of this ministry.
However, I longed to get back to teaching the Word of God. Then a friend asked if I would consider leading a virtual Bible Study. I said yes. I have had the pure joy of leading a weekly Bible Study ever since. So, I know the Lord is calling me to use my teaching gift to bring others closer to Him.
Affordable Biblical Training Online at CLI
My spiritual dream is to spend the rest of my life ministering to others who need to know Jesus and learn from the Word of God how to live walking in a daily relationship with Him.
One day, my daughter-in-law told me about Christian Leaders Institute (CLI). As I consider early retirement to follow God’s calling, finances are tight. So, I was thrilled to hear I could find affordable Biblical training online. I can also work around my current work schedule. CLI is an answer to prayer for myself and my daughter-in-law!
Currently, I am pursuing studies to be a better Bible teacher and to learn how to provide ministry to others. I want to learn how to be the minister that God has always called me to be. I can’t wait to see what God has for the next grand adventure in my life!

My name is Daniel Tichota. Along with my wife, Melissa, and our four children, I live in Lebanon, Tennessee. At a young age, God called me into ministry. I currently hold the following educational degrees: Bachelor in Pastoral Ministry from Oral Roberts University; Master in Human Dynamics from Western International University; and a Master in Teaching (Middle School Math) at Oakland City University (graduation May 2022). I have already enrolled for a third Master’s in Christian Ministry at Oral Roberts University, which will begin in May 2022. In addition, I am studying ministry training and Bible courses at Christian Leaders Institute (Learn more about online free Bible courses, Click Here).
Education, to me, is a passion. God called me to learn so that, in turn, I may be used for teaching at every level. With this in mind, I am getting prepared to teach, even at college-level Bible, by Spring 2024. I want to be used by God to plant a church complete with a Christian school.
My Spiritual Journey
However, first, I want to share my spiritual journey with you. While I grew up in a Christian home, I wasn’t always on track with God. At age 5, I came to know Christ as my Lord in a Baptist church. I still recall the Sunday evening service when they baptized me in the tank with the church watching. However, when our family later moved from the Baptist church to a non-denominational church a few years later, the power of the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues came to me. I felt the calling for ministry but veered in my teenage years.
Rebellious toward my parents, teachers, and mostly, God, I found ‘love,’ or at least I thought it was. Truthfully, it was lust. But it became a force that stole me from God for many years. I still went to church, but my devotion to God was haphazard. It wasn’t until I went to college that I realized I needed to recommit to God. And so I did – sold out – or so many thought. Unfortunately, that rebellion left a door open to lust, and I, like Solomon, had only a half heart toward God.
I graduated, married, separated, came back, had kids, and then found myself divorced. There were good days and bad during all that, but I was still only half-hearted. It wasn’t until the divorce that I fell and saw just how much I needed God. I dated to ease my pain, but God showed me that I needed to be His man before being the husband God wanted me to be. So for three years, it was God and me. Finally, when the time and my heart were right, He allowed me to meet my wife of eight years. But to get to that point, I needed first to surrender to Him. I need to surrender daily because sin is always knocking at the door.
My Love of Learning and Teaching
My heart is for ministry and teaching God’s Word to others. I have always loved school, and I am a nerd. I was the student who felt terrible on sick days, not because I was ill, but because I was missing out on the opportunity to learn. As a student, I asked for homework and enjoyed it when my parents’ punishment for my errors was to write a book report. All these clues should have been a hint to me that I was destined to be a teacher.
Now, here I am at the age of 46, looking to put behind me the daily grind of customer service in hopes of making a difference. Teachers in my life made a difference. In 5th grade, my teacher pushed me to excellence in every subject. My 8th grade English teacher coached me in public speaking. Even my choir teacher throughout high school daily encouraged me to shoot for the stars, try new things, and be the person I was destined to be. Their impact on me has not gone unnoticed.
But I want to teach God’s Word. I want to teach people the blessings of following after God and the struggles they may encounter. In the end, I want to bring people into a relationship with a God who loves them all. The ministry training and Bible courses at CLI prepare me for this calling.
