Life Coaching Goal with CLI
My name is Susan Molina. Currently, I reside in Cedar Grove, New Jersey. I have a Masters in Education, a Bachelor’s in Business, and received my diploma in Doctor of Naturopathy in October of 2018. I recently enrolled in the Christian Leaders Institute online to study for my life coaching goal. I’m thankful I live in the USA, where freedom of religion and education exists.
My Struggles
Born in Fresno, California, to a mentally ill mother and alcoholic father, it was a dark, desperate place. However, I did have a grandmother who would pray with her rosary. We went to the Catholic Church, but I never understood why God would let us suffer so terribly at the hands of my parents. At the age of fourteen, I could not take it anymore and tried to kill myself. As I lay falling asleep from all the aspirin I swallowed, I remember asking God to save me. He did! At the age of eighteen, I left and never returned. I attended college and was the first daughter out of five to earn a college degree.
I was homeless and pregnant at the age of 34. My fiance threw me out, and my four-year-old son lived with my ex. After my daughter was born, I met a minister at the gym who told me about Jesus and salvation. I believed but backslid and continued to live in sin as I also went to church and prayed. Another marriage later, another son, another divorce, another homeless episode, finally my life became unmanageable, and I cried out to Jesus, telling him I was ready to surrender.
My Spiritual Dream
My spiritual dream is to share health and wellness with women who like me looked for love in all the wrong places. I hope to share with them that God is their husband and will love them like no other.
I was humbled last year when my company let me go and I became homeless again. Sleeping on the couch of my ex was tough, but I got to see my teenage son every day. My son humbled me when he told me Jesus set him free.
In October of 2019, I asked God for some success in my new straight commission sales job. He put me in front of five doctors in three months, catapulted me to number one sales rep, and placed one of my doctors on the COVID-19 first worldwide study for exosomes for FDA review. I was also able to get my apartment and found the Christian Leaders Institute through prayer and longing to understand how to serve God with my life.
Life Coaching Goal
I hope to complete the Christian Leaders Institute Life Coaching program. To incorporate it somehow into a business. I’ll use the money from my sales job to help others receive the free education I have so graciously received.
I was googling ministry training, and after seeing the cost, I knew I could not at this time. So, I googled free ministry training, and CLI came up. I was like wow!!!! I got my Masters and ND on virtual training, and so far, CLI is equal or better than what I received before. The free training is so critical because it’s giving me the foundation I need for my life coaching goal. I can begin my ministry with confidence in knowing that it is not me who is doing it, but the Holy Spirit who lives in me.
So far, the CLI training has been a great reminder to me that my walk with God is essential. I want to share it with those who also need freedom from sin and a walk with God. I love the sound of God’s wind and have gained so much knowledge in my walk with the Lord in just these first two classes.

Formal Education for Ministry at CLI
My name is Andrew Temple, and I am receiving formal education for ministry free at the Christian Leaders Institute. I am 37 years old. Currently, I reside near Dallas, TX.
A Life of Addiction
I grew up with parents that were heavily involved in the drug scene. Due to this, I quickly followed in their footsteps. I was very active in my addiction for all of my early adult years. There were times I was homeless and did not know where the next meal would be.
My grandmother introduced me to Christ and took me to church much of my younger years. I am thankful for this foundation, even though I strayed from that path for many years. I knew who Christ was and what the “walk” was. However, I chose not to follow Him, but I knew of Him.
God Set Me Free
On December 23, 2013, the Lord spoke to me. Romans 8:18 – “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us” – started playing over and over in my head. It was at that moment that I walked away from the life of drugs. I enrolled in a year-long discipleship program (drug rehab) and completed the program. I was filled with the Holy Spirit and had a new way of life.
Called to Serve God
Fast forward to six years later, and I am now an active member of a motorcycle fellowship that concentrates on spreading the Word through recovery from addiction (I serve as Chaplain for my chapter). I also go into local prisons and jails to witness to the men there and serve at my church. I am now married to a wonderful woman, Mindy, who is also a warrior for Christ. Together, we serve our community.
God has indeed made beauty out of ashes. Serving God in these past years was and is a blessing to me. He has called me to work with men that struggle with addictions. Addicts speak a different language, and I can speak that language. I have an understanding of where these men are and what their outlook is. While living a life of addiction, there is zero hope, there is zero grace, and there is zero redemption. If one man can change from a life of addiction and start to follow Christ, generations can be changed.
Formal Education at Finding CLI
I felt a yearning to obtain formal education so that God might use my opportunities. So, I decided to take the formal minister training at the Christian Leaders Institute so that I might have a better understanding of leadership. I am excited to watch what God will do through this free formal education.

My Ministry Journey
My name is Roseline Udoetuk, and I am from Nigeria. My ministry journey began with my parents. My father was a spiritual leader whom God used in many ways to bring the lost to God. Father never compromised our prayer time, daily Bible reading, and fasting with anything. He assigned us a Bible passage and asked us to teach each other. We never missed Sunday school. Sunday school was like an actual school, where we wrote down the Bible passages, homework, and prayer. Each Sunday, our homework was due, and we must not give any excuses.
This spiritual upbringing brought us closer to God. I grew up to realize that God has a purpose for me. It used to be annoying when my mother woke us up at 5 am to get ready for prayers at 6 am. Then, my father rang one loudest prayer bell. Often, at that time, we wanted to sleep more. However, our mother said it was prayer time. Even though it was annoying to wake up early, the benefit today has paid off the lost sleep. It made me God’s child because a child of God must pray, read the Bible, and obey God’s command.
My Ministry
My ministry is to preach and teach the nation about God. I have a passion for teaching little children and teens about God’s love and faithfulness. I want them to know that God cares about them no matter what wrong they have done as long as they genuinely apologize and confess to God to forgive them. Our God is so sweet, and His mercies endure forever. I am blessed to be chosen by God to be a worker in his vineyard. God used me in so many ways to inspire others. I love everyone, irrespective of their culture, race, and ethnicity. If I serve God and love God, I must love others.
I teach in children’s church, and my passion for teaching the children grows every day. I love kids because they have much potential that God has deposited in them. When we carefully understand them, we can see the special blessing that God has for them.
I am one of the children’s church teachers. My experience with them is fun. I enjoy teaching the children the Bible because the word of God builds solid roots for them to serve God wholeheartedly.
Once, I was a women’s leader, which I enjoyed. I learned that a walk with God could be rocky but fruitful.
Daily Ministry Walk
I walk with God daily in prayer, Bible reading, and the meditation of God’s Word. I am so happy to be chosen by God for His great work. Each week, I deliver God’s message on YouTube and Facebook. Daily, I pray with my family and have Bible reading and worship devotions. I pray that God will continue to use me in His call to serve in His ministry.
Since coming to the Christian Leaders Institute for free ministry training, I am happy to learn more about God and the history of God’s creation in the Bible. God is sovereign, and we must worship Him in truth. Thank you, CLI, for this educational opportunity.
Used by God
God has used me as his messenger. God reveals to me through dreams, prayer, and His words from the Bible. One day at a wedding, a man told me that God has a purpose to use me as His messenger. I am to yield to the call of God, or I will be miserable.
Another time on an occasion with my friends, an 85-year-old man told me that my father allowed God to use him. I also have the same purpose in me like my father. I should never let anyone stop me from serving God.
