I am Omoha Precious from Lagos, Nigeria. I have a national diploma in computer science from the Osun State Polytechnic and an advanced diploma in theology from The Redeemed Christians Bible College. Being at the Christian Leaders Institute is a lifetime opportunity for spiritual, personal, and intellectual growth and maturity (Learn more about Studying the Bible, Click Here). The free formal Bible training prepares me to be an efficient Christian leadership professional in the body of Christ.
Currently, I am a full-time church administrator. I have served in various capacities in the body of Christ. My ministry service includes being a worker, school fellowship president, associate pastor, assistant pastor, sound and multimedia director, and more. With a deep passion for discipleship, I nurture and disciple the saints into fervent and effectual Christians. Then, as agents of light and transformation in the world, they bring more souls into the kingdom.
A Life-Changing Time
I came to know the Lord unusually. I was in the hospital after successful operations from a ruptured hernia and laparoscopic appendectomy. However, something unfortunate happened. A piece of cotton wool was left within my abdomen before stitching up the cut. It was barely two days after, at about 2 am, I nearly died from pain when pain relief failed, and no test could ascertain the cause of the pain. I was left to bear through the day to be transferred to another hospital, but I knew death was just around the corner as everyone stood helpless.
By the bedside was Gideon’s New Testament Bible. I remembered the God of the Christians my class teacher in school told me about during break time. When all other students were gone out playing, she would call me by her side, give me her meal for lunch, and tell me stories about God, who I knew nothing about because I was from a Muslim family.
God Touched Me
So, I took the small Bible and called on the God of the Christians to come and heal me. The pain was so severe that I couldn’t read a word from the Bible, so that I would count the pages. Then I would know that he is truly God. I tried counting, and the tears from my pain fell on the Bible. Unfortunately, I couldn’t finish the counting, but thankfully I slept. In that half-asleep state, I saw a man in white and in a doctor’s coat coming in through the locked entrance door without unlocking it. He walked up to me and touched the pain point as if carrying out an operation on it. It all happened within seconds. Then, he turned and disappeared without saying a word. But within me, I knew this was the God of the Christians I called upon before falling asleep.
I woke and discovered I’d slept for two hours. At that point, the pain had gone completely. Then, I felt something like a cold drop of water on the apron I was wearing. I beckoned to the nurses, only to discover it was purulent drainage oozing from between the stitches. They immediately rushed me to surgery. The incision was reopened and cleaned up. In the process, the piece of cotton wool was brought out. I watched everything being done on me in a clear piece of screen in front of me.
Life In Christ
This event was the beginning of my encounters with the God of the Christians. Impatiently, I left the hospital to learn more about God and grow in faith in Him. The journey has been an irrecoverable relationship with this God through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit, who has been my greatest companion.
Yes, there were persecutions from my Muslim father and relatives. From being driven away from home to living in uncompleted buildings without windows or doors. Several scars on my body from injuries of tortures to stop me from going to church. I remember every church I attended in the community would receive my father’s visitation, accusing the pastors of teaching me rebellion. But to God’s glory, His grace was sufficient for me through it all. Most importantly, my father accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior over time, but everyone in my family is also Christian.
Free Formal Bible Training at CLI
Discovering the Christian Leaders Institute is one of the greatest breakthroughs I’ve had in my quest for spiritual, mental, and personal development.

CLI’s free formal Bible training is a dream come true for me! My greatest setback in getting formal education has been financial restrictions. I’m really grateful to God for setting up CLI for opportunities like this for me and the body of Christ around the world.

My name is Yashi Bhatnagar, and I am receiving online Bible schooling for free at the Christian Leaders Institute (Learn more about Studying the Bible, Click Here). I am a homemaker in Mumbai, India, and have two beautiful daughters. I grew up in a Hindu brahmin family, which was deeply into idol worship.
Salvation in Christ Jesus
I heard about the Holy Spirit and our Lord Jesus Christ’s truth at the age of 22 when I met my future husband, a Christian who followed the Pentecostal Church’s doctrines. Through him, I was introduced to the Bible, which I started reading. At that time, I was perplexed and seeking the real truth. Our Mighty Lord revealed himself one day through a vision that changed my life. In my vision, twice I saw that Lord Jesus Christ in a white cloak standing at my right-hand side. I also heard, “Yes, the Lord Jesus Christ is with you.” This vision made me more confident, and I started praying to the Lord for further revelations.
Within eight months of this vision, I received the Holy Spirit’s anointing while praying one day. My family was totally against me and wanted me to leave the house. (Psalms 2:1,2). But by the grace of God, their ill intent was defeated. So, I prayed and followed the Lord in that same house for three years after that.
During this time, my mother, who was against me, also saw a vision where a bright light directed her never to persecute me for my faith (Genesis 20:6). The Lord also used me to heal my brother from a throat disease he was suffering from. All these mercies from the Lord made sure that I could stay and follow the path of truth in the same house with non-believers. I also stood on divine healing and never took medicine ever since. I was healed from so many ailments during this period by the power of prayer.

Since then, I married into a Christian family after that and have served the Lord with them. I believe in the Pentecostal ministry and the head of the prayer meetings at believers’ houses in my area. Further, I was also a Sunday school teacher.
I am so grateful for the free online Bible Schooling at the Christian Leaders Institute (CLI). Through the CLI courses, I want to increase my insight into the doctrine and teachings of the Lord. I want to be used by the Lord for his glory. May God’s will be done in my life! Amen.

My name is Warren Munro, and I am studying at the Christian Leaders Institute, a Bible School online for free (Learn more about Studying the Bible, Click Here). I’m 52 years old, South African born, and currently reside in Johannesburg, South Africa. I am blessed to be employed as General Manager for a company in the South of Johannesburg.
After I completed high school in 1985, I joined the South African police force in 1986. There, I served in several different divisions during my police career.
Trapped
During my employment as a police officer from 1986 to 1997, I experienced the absolute horror of humankind’s hatred for one another. I wondered why God allowed it all. I attended many different Christian churches to find answers between 1988 and 1992. Sadly, my search led me to the Jehovah’s Witnesses in 1995.
Because I was not armed with true Christian Bible knowledge, I did not understand who the Holy Spirit is. To my detriment, I blindly followed the Jehovah’s Witnesses teaching. Consequently, I was in the Jehovah’s Witnesses cult for many years. I thankfully disassociated from them in 2011.
Saved by God’s Grace
Praise the Lord that I was baptized as a Christian in 2018! I had already publicly accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior in 2017 at my church, Rhema South Johannesburg. Since my baptism, my friends and family have seen huge changes in me. Thankfully, the Holy Spirit has transformed my mind, and I have put away much of my old personality (Romans 12 verse 2).
I have found that many people who know me tend to lean on my strength and advice during difficult seasons in their lives. Also, since my dedication to God and his Son Jesus Christ, my quality of life and sense of well being improved. This improvement was due to my relationship with our Creator and Savior.
My Calling and Finding CLI: A Bible School Online for Free
My dream is to help others come to know and accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and Master over their lives. The Ministry certificates and free online training that the Christian Leaders Institute offers on various important subjects, such as biblical history and the interpretation of scripture, is indeed a wonderful blessing!
I hope to enter the full-time ministry service in the near future in South Africa. I feel God’s calling to minister to those who have been trapped in cults. Matthew 9 verse 36 says, ” When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd ”( New Living Translation).
I am confident that the Christian Leaders Institute is the way forward to achieve my dream and contribution to building the Church and the Kingdom of Christ.
