“CLI’s christian ministry training is so important because it is vital to have some type of training before launching out into ministry. The classes available at CLI are a great resource and I can’t wait to go even further into the different topics. Ministry is not just passion to do the will of God, I believe He also wants us equipped with knowledge and that is what CLI’s free online christian ministry training is doing, equipping Christian leaders with the knowledge they need to do the work of the Lord.”
Young Christian On Fire For Christ Receiving Her Free Online Christian Ministry Training
I currently live in the United States and have been here all of my life. It is an amazing opportunity to be a part of the Christian ministry here in the U.S. There are so many amazing ministries to join with and it is such a blessing to be able to pretty much be open about your faith. Although we are moving towards a time where the Christian faith is under fire and our very foundation is being called “close-minded” and “hateful”, there are many believers still standing for the truth of God’s Word here in the U.S.
I came to know the Lord as a child, maybe around 10 years old. I always attended church with my family but 10 is when I really became aware of who God was and what it meant to be saved. I always believed what I was taught in church about how Jesus died for me, but the Lord began to speak to me as a child and I just knew it was Him. He would help me when I had simple issues by telling me how to solve them, He even told me what I needed to do to see my prayers answered. I remember vividly as a child that my mother was having back pain. While she was asleep the Lord told me to lay my hands on her back and pray for her. In the morning she told everyone about how much better her back felt. What a testimony for a child to experience a miracle right before my eyes! From then on, He continued to speak to me and I had an overwhelming desire to learn of Him and live for Him. My walk continued to grow and even as a young adult I still yearn to learn more and live a life that brings Him glory.
My ministry dream is to reach young adults and women, to teach them about the love of Christ and what it means to live a holy, righteous life before Him. I want to teach children and young adults about purity, Godly relationships, and other life issues that plague the young generation. I want to teach women that Christ’s love is all we need and He longs to be all of the love and acceptance we find ourselves looking for in the wrong places. I have a great desire to see all of God’s people know their worth and identity in Christ and the abundant life God has called us to live. I identify most with being a youth leader and minister to women as that is where my passion lies. Those two groups of people need Jesus more than ever and I want to help them find Him.
I was prompted to pursue christian ministry training as I just began to grow in Christ and became unsatisfied with only going to church and not serving. I am a strong believer that as we learn, we are to teach, a Maya Angelou quote. I know that the Lord hasn’t brought me this far to keep to myself. We are all a part of the great commission to go and preach the gospel to the nations. We have a purpose in whatever area He has placed us in, job, neighborhood, city, etc. and that is to spread Christ. I want to make sure I complete my task in this life and leave this world knowing I have done what the Lord called me to do.
It is also a great honor to be able to do ministry alongside my wonderful mother. She is also a CLI christian ministry training student and pursuing the call on her life to teach the people of God. It is a great experience to have someone so close to me love Jesus with all their heart. It is also great to communicate about Jesus all the time and learn from one another as we delve into biblical studies both individually and together.
You can pray for me in ministry for direction and guidance to the right people and the right time. You can also pray for boldness to continue to step out on faith and trust where the Lord is leading me in my call.

“Receiving a christian leadership education training from CLI is considered a great blessing. Being a father of two in this economy is not easy, it can sometimes be very hard. But being able to receive this type of knowledge without a price tag helps me to work a full time job, provide for my family and attend classes at the same time. Many bible schools in my area are very expensive. Having a free christian leadership education in ministry truly assists me in the training I need to move forward in the will of God.” – Ricky Welch, student of CLI
Greetings to all my CLI colleagues, I am Ricky Welch. I was born in a small town in North Mississippi in the early 1980’s. My wife and I now reside in the state of Missouri with our two children ages seven and one. We have been married since November 2003.
Living in America is a blessing in many ways, but we do have our challenges. We have freedom laws which allows freedom of speech to publicly reverence Christ. One of the challenges is the many diverse religious beliefs that are practiced in our country. Many people are confused, and are reluctant to believe in the true gospel that Christ proclaimed.
I have always felt the presence of God, even as a child. My older sister and I were taught at a young age to believe and fear God and the power that He has. It was in 1998, the middle of my teen years, when I began to have a true relationship with Christ. My uncle who also became my mentor and pastor led me to understand the importance of having a relationship with the Lord. He also taught me the importance of accountability, and my actions as a born again christian.
I am a youth leader and desire to be a church planter in due season. My most important desire is to plant a church in my current city. I also have a vision of eventually planting a church in my hometown in the state of Mississippi and spreading it into a national ministry. We desire to boldly profound the gospel of Christ to the lost and broken souls.
I began to notice the special call on my life when I was asked to lead prayer at my senior high school awards ceremony back in 2001. Many teachers that had taught me in previous years were pleased to see the change in my life since receiving Christ. Some even asked me if I was considering ministry after graduation.
I am supported by my family 100% in my enrollment with CLI’s christian leadership education program. They have encouraged me to move forward in receiving christian leadership education. My wife and children play a major role in my ministry. Leading a family is very much similar to leading the people of God. I look to them for positive or negative feedback as they look to me for leadership and guidance. My desire is to make sure that each one of their needs are met both spiritually and naturally. I intend to use many valuable life lessons that I have learned to eventually birth our ministry vision.
I ask that my professors, classmates and other believers in Christ pray that I will fully accept the will of God in my life. I also desire prayer for continuing to allow God to be first and foremost in my every day walk. May God graciously bless each and every one of you!
