My name is Rey Ricky Antonio born and raised in the Philippines. Because of my wife, Marivic, I could migrate to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I am a student at the Christian Leaders Institute, which offers tuition-free seminary training. Currently, we serve in our ministry as volunteers in the worship team at our local campus. By God’s grace, He also blessed me to become a small group leader. To God, all the glory!
Timeless Calling
Sometimes, I wonder if I am ready or capable of doing what God asks of me. However, God reminds me in John 9:4 that “I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is a day. The night is coming when no one can work.” A big challenge for me as a Christian is that it is not easy for me to leave my comfort zone. Again, God spoke into my heart the value of calling regardless of who we are and where we are. God shows me the intensity of my calling that requires willingness and availability. To God be all the glory!
Tuition-Free Seminary Training
The Christian Leaders Institute equips me to use my talent to expand God’s kingdom. I learned from CLI to build a strong foundation of faith. This tuition-free seminary training helps boost my confidence in sharing the Word of God with my group and individuals. I have limits, but I have an unlimited God. CLI empowers me as an individual and helps me be aware and rooted in whom I believe. May this ministry continue from generation to generation! More power to CLI! God bless all the staff!

My name is Lamont Jones, and I am from Massachusetts. I am a student at the Christian Leaders Institute. I want to know more about the Bible. The tuition-free online Bible study is precisely what I need.
My Journey to Tuition-Free Online Bible Study
As a child, I knew God existed, but I didn’t know Him until I was 17. That was when I gave my life to Jesus at a Christian camp. That experience changed my life, leading me to a closer relationship with God.
I always wanted to learn more about God’s Word. However, I didn’t like the idea of getting into debt at college. Therefore, I was happy to find a self-paced online Bible study at the Christian Leaders Institute. I can complete it at my own pace and without any financial obligation. This experience has helped me to grow in my faith and to become more mature in my understanding of God’s Word.
My spiritual dream is to encourage others to trust Jesus and to be used by God. As I mature spiritually, I become more aware of God’s presence in my life and more attuned to His will. Trusting Jesus and following his teachings helps me to lead a more fulfilling and purposeful life. May God use me to help others find this same peace and joy in their lives.

Knowledge of Kingdom Principles
My name is Della Cash. I live in South Africa and love this country with all my heart. Living here is excellent. We do, however, have some genuine socioeconomic and political problems. I have been studying at the Christian Leaders Institute since 2017. I honestly don’t think I would be where I am today in my walk with God without CLI. My knowledge of Kingdom principles has grown tremendously. In the process, my awe of the great and mighty God I serve increased!
My Spiritual Journey
I grew up believing that I needed to go to university after school. It was supposed to be the ultimate experience. It was supposed to complete my life. The first six months were okay. However, then I discovered alcohol. I failed my second year and dropped out. I had to work and continue with my studies. Now well-experienced in the partying ways, I did not know God and led a shallow life. I completed my studies and spent almost ten years traveling the world, thinking I was leading the perfect life. All the time, God was nowhere in the picture.
I eventually married a man who was also not a believer. We had two beautiful little girls. Then, my life began unraveling. Living a life not firmly established on God tends to catch up with you sooner or later. I was miserable. Therefore, one morning, I chatted with God while sobbing. I told him my life was a mess and that He could have it. I did not want to be the captain of my life anymore. It was the first time in my life that I experienced real grace, and it was incredible!
One of the first messages that God gave me was that I needed to confess all of my sins and apologize to all the people I had ever offended (even the ones that were horrible to me and where I had a harsh reaction). Not having a knowledge of Kingdom principles, I thought it was a weird request, considering that I had just given my heart to Him. I know now that it was part of the restoration process.
Restoration and Renewal Journey
That was about 14 years ago. In the meantime, my husband also gave his heart to the Lord. We raised our girls in a house that serves the Lord with all of our hearts. We are part of a beautiful church that strives to do community and serve God as they did in the Book of Acts.
I am incredibly blessed that I am entirely restored and suffered no loss (such as a broken marriage) because of my bad choices. God has abundantly blessed me while restoring my life to what He originally intended. If I have any regrets, however, it would be wasting a lot of time and missing opportunities to tell others about the amazing God I serve. Jesus gave us one job to do: to share Him with others. I failed miserably in doing that for many years.
My new dream is to focus on God and the guidance of the Holy Spirit and to live within His will for me. By living in obedience to God’s will and guidance, I not only experience the fullness of serving Him, but I also do what He wants me to do here on earth.
