My name is Corrie Cunningham – Brooks of Jamaica. I like to describe myself as a Christian daughter, wife, mother, teacher, author, and Radio announcer. The most amazing thing about me is that God has found it possible to use me, which is REALLY about Him. God also led me to the Christian Leaders Institute for a tuition free ministry education (Learn more about online Bible courses, Click Here).
Early Life and Conversion
I grew up an only child, but my parents did have one child before me. He died at birth. I was born in the beautiful month of September on the 22nd day in the year 1981. I later surrendered my heart to the Lord when I was in primary school and got baptized in grade 6. The theme for the crusade that year was “Do or Die,” and the topic of the message on the night I surrendered my life was, “How Much Time Do You Have?” If ever there was a thought-provoking question, that would be it.
My walk with Christ has not been without challenges. I have fallen by the way many times, BUT my Heavenly Father has been faithful. At one point, I battled low self-esteem and depression, but the Lord Himself delivered me. Hallelujah!
Calling to Ministry
I can’t put a finger on when my calling to ministry came, but I know that I have always wanted to inspire others. One day after the church service, a visiting pastor shared with me a Word from the Lord. The Lord was basically telling me to stop running from what He had called me to. That Word helped me to be less fearful of launching out into becoming who God created me to be.
Ministry Training
I had no formal ministry training before coming to the Christian Leaders Institute (CLI). However, the Holy Spirit has always been my guide and has proven to be the best guide ever. I am thankful He led me to CLI for their tuition free ministry education!
Ministry Journey
My ministry started with voice notes to individuals and groups on WhatsApp. It then evolved into live videos and posts on Facebook. Eventually, I started cohosting on a Christian Radio station. Today, I produce and host three radio programs. All of this is through God’s enabling because none of this would be possible without Him.
Personal Life
I married Kenroy St George Brooks on December 27, 2003. The Lord has blessed us with three wonderful children (two boys and one girl). Glory to God’s most Holy Name!

Hello! My name is Joshua Cayer. I’m currently working as an electrical apprentice in Manitoba, Canada, where I also live. I’ve spent the last few years working on getting myself into this career field, but it wasn’t but a moment after graduating from trades college that I felt the urgent pull towards ministry and service. That’s when I found the Christian Leaders Institute for proper Biblical training (Learn more about online Bible courses, Click Here).
My Journey Began
I was born the eldest and only son in a family of five. All of us children were born right in the midst of the last great Christian revival here in Canada in the decade just before the new millennium. At the time, we lived in a small farming community where it would’ve been more uncommon to admit you don’t go to church than to say you did. So there’s not much to say about my Salvation story. My parents asked three of us kids if we wanted to ask Jesus into our hearts, and that was that.
Challenges
My experience growing up in the church was quite nice until my later elementary school years, when my parents began acting abusively towards us children. They maintained a totalitarian environment restricting and sometimes punishing any attempt towards freedom of beliefs. Church attendance, Bible readings, daily prayer, and devotions were mandatory.
It created a paradox of a sort in that we were constantly exposed to the Bible’s teachings and yet made to ignore them later at home to allow my parents to justify our mistreatment. At this time, I did two things: Join ministry (As it was much more interesting to keep myself busy on Sunday working than to sit with my parents and listen to the service) and seek escape from my home environment through worldly matters. I had a lot of success in the church, growing into several leadership positions within various ministries, although it was never for God that I was doing this. The contrary nature of my continued involvement in the church while seeking sanctuary in worldly venues reflected the same path my parents chose for themselves.
Adulthood Struggle
When I reached adulthood, I finally left my parents’ church and sought out one for myself. I attended this other church for several years until I felt I couldn’t go anymore due to the appearance of some health issues back in 2013 lasting until 2017. I continued learning and reading my Bible occasionally and praying constantly. But, I wouldn’t be a regularly attending member of a church. Currently, I found a couple of choices of churches to call home. However, I am waiting for Covid restrictions to end and allow for their re-opening.
My story is simply one of struggle. There’s nothing spectacular about my story other than my apparent stubbornness and resistance towards doing the right thing. I have lived many lives over the years. Using sin as an escape from my parents’ continued abuse and the trauma that arose from that, I had an illness that had me tapping on Death’s Door a couple of times over those years. There was always the feeling of emptiness and lack of direction and purpose that let me jump from one thing to another as if blown around by the wind. I made a lot of poor choices during this time that I am ashamed of.
Surrender and Revival
Eventually, I got tired of living with the consequences of my sins and poor choices. I decided to reform myself in a series of renewals of self. First removing unhealthy choices and then going after the sins. I got as far as I could on my own, but I kept finding myself entering back into old habits. Finally, one day, I had enough of it all. I realized that if I wanted to let go of this garbage for good, I needed to give it up to God. When I said those words, “God, I am Yours.” Everything changed.
A driving fire fuelled my personal revival. This light consumed my entire being. First, I let go of old sinful ways. Next, I let go of the hurt from my past and the resentment I harbored because of it. Then, I started making new, better choices that put God’s will first, even if it meant sacrificing some of my greatest personal desires. And in all this, I found my calling.
My Calling
I have made so many wrong decisions and lived with the consequences of all of them. If I could, I would gladly save others the pain of going through the same things. If I could save someone even a bit of grief, I would share all of my life experiences and the lessons I’ve learned over the years to show them the risk.
So, my calling isn’t a big, fancy, or precise plan to start a church or join a new ministry. Instead, my calling is to love and serve others. Through those interactions, I will reflect on the love and grace I have known through God. I want to become nothing more than a beacon of God’s love. A lighthouse shining out into the darkness to call all the lost home. I especially want to reach those that feel they aren’t pure enough or are too broken to step inside a church.
Proper Biblical Training at CLI
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. God will provide me what I need to do what He asks of me. However, if I had proper Biblical training and a greater understanding of God’s Word, I knew I could be more effective in outreach to others. I could have a greater impact on those I speak with.
The proper Biblical training programs of the Christian Leaders Institute allow me to develop my knowledge in Biblical theology and doctrines. They also teach me new skills for ministering in my community. Doing the study at my own speed allows me to continue working and maintaining my responsibilities and commitments. CLI being donation-based allows me to receive training without struggling with cumbersome debt. One seminary I looked at years ago offered a pastor’s program for $90,000 a year. I don’t make a third of that a year working full-time. CLI’s delayed tuition and certification fees allow me to save a very reasonable sum while focusing first on my studies.

Blessings all! My name is April Pou, originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA. I’m a southern girl with a love of food and the outdoors. Somehow, I ended up in Sioux City, Iowa. I also ended up at the Christian Leaders Institute for my ministry service education (Learn more about online Bible courses, Click Here).
My Beginnings
Raised Jehovah’s Witness, I received the love of studying the Bible from that denomination. Eventually, I strayed because the doctrine didn’t feel right when I was in my late teens. I stumbled about in the darkness and ended up in prison. God came to me. He had never moved or changed, I had. And… He still came to me, even there, in prison. I got saved and began my backsliding, prodigal journey.
Ministry Service Education at CLI
Now, I need this ministry service education training at CLI to be prepared to answer my call of service to God’s people. I have basically read the entire Bible, and my thirst and zest are to know more. My call is to educate, empower, and expose people to God. Therefore, I need to be adequately prepared.
I achieved an Associate’s degree and am just shy of a Bachelor’s in business. However, the time spent wandering in my youth lead me in and out of college. I racked up student loans. Therefore the free ministry training offered here at Christian Leaders Institute is my only option to pursue a ministry education. A scholarship to the CLI’s Leadership Excellence School would be wonderful as it would help me become the leader I am called to be. Unfortunately, I am not in a financial situation to afford college tuition. The daily expenses of my family are often barely and supernaturally met. But, I know I am called to do great works for God. I can’t do that without a foundation and an education.
My dream as a Christian leader is to SERVE. I want to minister to the poor and form a church of forward-thinking, active millennials who want to be the living sacrifices Christianity needs today. With the call and the desire, all I need is an education in the Word. With some formal education, I am a decent speaker and a strong writer. I can deliver the message but I need CLI to help me develop as a Christian leader with biblical knowledge and wisdom.
