I give greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. My name is Arnel Paje, and I am receiving free online training at CLI. I’m from the Philippines, and currently, my family and I live in the Middle East. My wife, Mary France, and our cute baby, Maria Lenra, and I have lived here since 2012. We serve the Lord Jesus Christ in the ministry here for over seven years now. Despite our situation, when it comes to sharing the Gospel, we have confidence in the promises of God. Because I know it is the will of God, and it is our heart to serve the Lord in any situation.
I have a teaching ministry dream since I have a child. Throughout my life, since my youth, my family and I have loved music. Playing instruments is my interest, and I have the talent that God imparted to me. Into my adulthood, I was not interested in attending church. But from the moment that God touch my heart through His Word, the Bible, He changed my heart and renewed it. Everything was changed, and I surrendered everything to Jesus.
My prayer through all of this race is to seek more of God and be closer to God. I want to give Him glory in whatever I do. As the Apostle Paul said Colossians 3:23, “Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically, as something done for the Lord and not for men.” Through the fantastic gift of faith from God, my faith grows because of Jesus Christ in me.
Free Online Training at CLI
Now, through this free online training at the Christian Leaders Institute, I pray that God may bless us with wisdom and knowledge to serve Him better. My family and I thank God for the Christian Leaders Institute. CLI helps me in so many ways. One of those ways is that I can study online while continuing to work at my job. Thank you so much, CLI, Mr. Henry Reyenga, your family, and staff for this opportunity. The dedication of your time to this ministry is appreciated.
May the Lord God Almighty Father through His Son Jesus Christ and by the help of the Holy Spirit bless you and keep you all on your visions and missions. To God Be The Glory forever and ever! Amen and Amen!

I am Oluranti Osisanya, and I am receiving free quality training at the Christian Leaders Institute. I grew up in Nigeria in an Islamic background, although neither of my parents practiced Islam. My mother was from a Christian home and a few times she talked about God from the Bible. Largely, I had no tangible exposure to the Christian religion. However, at boarding school, I met other children who had a lot to say about Jesus and the God of the Bible. At first, it was all amusing to me. However, as I observed the peace and joy some of these students exuded, I realized I also need the Savior.
Free Quality Training at CLI
I have entrusted my heart to God through our Lord Jesus Christ for about 27 years now. There’s one desire that remains with me through the years to date, it is to see God more clearly, love Him more dearly, and follow Him more closely day by day. This desire is my motivation for signing up for free quality training at the Christian Leaders Institute. To be equipped and thoroughly furnished for every good work the Lord brings my way is my desire.
It became apparent to me that I need further training for ministry. As a mother, I want to be equipped to influence my child rightly. As a practicing physician, I want to be able to influence those I encounter with true life found in Jesus Christ. Further, I am also involved in teaching children in my local church, and I want to be effective in that ministry.
I am thankful to God for the opportunity to receive free quality training that I can easily fit into my schedule. And I trust that God will transform me in the process.

My name is Samuel Sunday Mbek. I’m blessed to receive ministry education for my call at the Christian Leaders Institute. I’m from Nsit Ubium in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. I’m a diploma holder in audio technology and music theory. I reside in Lagos state.
My Early Church Experience
I had an unstable childhood, which limited my knowledge of God. I hated attending church so much that even when my father tried to force me to go, I went to play football on those Sunday mornings. This behavior went on for years. Why? Possibly because I first stayed with my grandmother, who was not a church person but did attend occasionally. However, I moved to stay with my dad in another town, and he was the church type. It was difficult for me to adjust to this new way of life. My father forced me to go to church. Then, finally, I made up my mind to obey my father.
When I started going to the house of God, I discovered that I found peace. My interest developed more by the day. It made me want to know who God is because the whole thing was strange to me. I decided to serve God as a worker in the church in the music department. This decision prompted me to learn the piano, so I could play and find fulfillment.
Persecution and Salvation
After I made my commitment to the work of God, I was tormented and denied by the same person who forced me to attend church. But why? I realized then that there was a purpose for me in ministry. I love music, and playing the piano in the house of God fulfilled me. First, I had to take extra steps to learn and develop my skills amid the persecution I received from my father and stepmother. It went on for years until I made up my mind to serve God for the rest of my life. Then, in 2003, I gave my life to Christ in my local assembly.
Fighting My Calling to Ministry
After my surrender to Christ, I realized that I have a calling on my life. The ministers of God in the ministries I served in also confirmed it. Was I ready to go into ministry? No! I fought it since I didn’t want to be a Pastor. I wanted to play the piano, and that was all for me.
The battle continued. Though it kept coming, questions arose in my mind. Finally, my fiancé asked me, “Why don’t you answer your call?” She also said, “All you need to do is accept it and then go to a Bible school where you can acquire more knowledge about God. The Holy Spirit will lead you.” That activated the inner peace in me, and I was ready to go for it.
Ministry Education for My Call at CLI
God used her to compel me to answer my call. She also registered me at the Christian Leaders Institute (CLI) for ministry education for my call. I was excited when she told me about it, and fulfillment came from within me. I know that CLI is the place I want to be. I’m glad that this training will improve my personal, spiritual, and ministry life going forward. With hard work and prayers, success is possible.
Furthermore, CLI, being a free ministry school, will give me an edge to be able to attain my Bachelor Certification. CLI will also help me build my ministry, lead people, and aid growth and development for my local assembly. I appreciate everyone putting efforts together to make this a success. God bless you all.
