Hello, my name is ShaKeena Avery-Collins of the United States of America. Called to be a Life Coach minister, I am studying Life Coach ministry training at Christian Leaders Institute (Learn more about free online Bible courses, Click Here).
My Spiritual Journey
I accepted Christ at a young age and felt called to share His Word with others. As a teenager, I would walk through the halls of my high school, encouraging other students to walk in a way pleasing to God. However, I often felt that I wasn’t as effective in evangelism as I wanted to be. So, I prayed for God to help me learn how to spread His word more effectively. I also asked that He let it be a way I could afford.
Called to be a Life Coach Minister and Study at CLI
Over time, I discovered that I wanted to help others walk in a way that pleased God on a deeper level than just telling them about Him. I wanted to help those that had difficulty walking with Him by guiding them through coaching them. About two years ago, I realized that being a life coach is what God has called me to do. However, I didn’t have the finances to take a training course that costs thousands of dollars. So, I prayed that God would help me with this path as well.
Recently, I enrolled in the Christian Leaders Institute on the path to becoming a Life Coach Minister. I am excited to fulfill this spiritual dream that will equip me to help others walk with God and accomplish what they believe is the purpose God has given them. Thank you, CLI!

My Journey Into Light
I am Sadiq Olawuyi Rasheed, born in Oyo town of Oyo state, Nigeria. I am taking free ministry and Bible courses at the Christian Leaders Institute (Learn more about free online Bible courses, Click Here). CLI will equip me for God’s call to reach others for Christ.
My Upbringing
My parents were Muslims, and so I was trained as a Muslim. They told us that Islam is the only religion that qualifies a man to make it to heaven. So, I did all I could to defend Islam and not listen to anyone who had another opinion regarding the matter. I hated Christianity so much that I always locked up my heart against their view of how to get to heaven. The story got worse when some of the few Christians I accidentally heard said that the only way to heaven is Jesus. Much anger arose in me because it was contrary to Islam. I grew so much hatred for the Christians and wouldn’t want to see any of them coming close to me.
The Good News of Jesus Christ
However, one day, my mother got born again. She introduced her new faith and belief in Christ Jesus to us. I rejected being born again and saw her recent experience with Christ as cooked up stories. I reluctantly disagreed with the simplicity of the gospel. To me, the good news of Christ to forgive all our sins the moment we believe in Him was too good to be considered. How could that be without any requirement of works, as I learned in my former religion?
However, eventually, she led me to Christ, and I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. I agreed in my inner man to be born again. So, I confessed my sins and gave my life to Christ. After this, I expected transformation in the physical because before that time, I was sexually abused. This abuse resulted in porn watching and promiscuity on my part. The more I tried stopping the act without calling Jesus into it, the more difficult it became. It was not until I read from the scripture that God’s grace is sufficient for me, and then I trusted in the Word. Gradually, I experienced the power of God working in me, and I became free from addiction and sins.
Ministry and Bible Courses Online at CLI
Going by what Christ wrought in me, I determined to know Him and the power of His resurrection just as the Apostle Paul wanted. I desired this to be tremendously used by God. So, I joined a local church where Christ forms their doctrine. So, I began to learn about Christ more deeply. I also realized that I am to reach the unsaved with the gospel of Christ. Then, they can be saved and have a thorough understanding of their inheritance in Christ Jesus.
I was sharing Christ with others before coming across the Christian Leaders Institute. Then, I decided to join CLI because I wanted to be equipped for the task ahead. I wanted ministry and Bible courses as I am committed to the ministry of reconciliation. Through the Bible courses and ministry training, I can do it with knowledge and care to not run in vain. Thank you, CLI!

My Service Ministry Call Story
My name is Glorimar Carroll, and this is my story. Currently, I live in The Woodlands/Spring, Texas area. I have worked in education for twenty years: ten in Christian private schools and ten in public schools. I am also part of the children’s ministry at my local church since I love children and making a difference in their lives. In response to my service ministry call, I am studying at the Christian Leaders Institute (Learn more about free online Bible courses, Click Here).
My Beginning and My Salvation Story
I am originally from Puerto Rico. A single mom brought me up because our father died in a car accident when my mom was pregnant with me. So, she raised my two brothers and me by herself. When I was seven, we moved to the state of Michigan. So, I grew up in East Lansing. I moved to Dallas, Texas, at 18 and have lived in Texas off and on for many years now. Married for 26 years to my husband Rich, we have two children: Will, 22, and Richelle, 20. They are our pride and joy.
I grew up in a Christian home as my mom and family were all born-again Christians. I participated in children and youth activities throughout the years. However, it wasn’t until my mid-twenties that I truly gave my life to Jesus Christ. Because my growing-up life was not easy, I drifted away from the Lord by my late teens and early twenties. My mom was very strict and for me, the church seemed too religious with many rules that I thought were not for me.
After a few years of doing what I wanted to and not God’s will, I realized that my life was headed in the wrong direction. One Sunday morning, I went to church with my mom. During worship, I felt the presence of the Lord so strong that I started crying. For the first time, I felt set free. It was then that I learned what it means to have a relationship with Jesus. I started seeking Him and studying His Word, which extraordinarily changed my life.
CLI for Free Online Ministry Training
Since I was little, I felt the Lord had a purpose for my life. He wanted me to serve Him in one way or another, my service ministry call. I have always loved people and tried to make a difference in their lives. When I was younger, I wanted to go to a well-known Bible school in the Dallas area. However, it was not something that I could afford, so I never pursued it. Christian Leaders Institute has been an answer to my prayers. As a wife and mom, my family has been my priority for all these years. My husband and I always volunteered at church. Thank God our kids grew up in a Christian home. We planted the Word of God in their hearts since they were little, and we believe that God has good plans for their lives too.
My Service Ministry Call
For the last few years, I felt a tug from the Lord wanting me to get ordained. I desire to someday work full-time for a ministry. I am asking God to lead me to the right place that He has for me. Possibly, I could work in children’s ministry or abortion or human trafficking ministries. With my compassionate spirit, God could use me to change lives for Him.
My goals with Christian Leaders Institute are to finish the “Deacon Minister Ordination” class and take the “Life Coach” classes. I have mentored younger women, and I desire to continue doing that. First, however, I want to prepare myself better to help these lovely young women of God become strong in their walk with Jesus. Perhaps then, they can pay it forward and someday be there for others too.
