Online Bible School in the United Kingdom
Greetings to you brothers and sisters in the Lord. My name is Pius Otu Nyiam, I currently live in Manchester, England, United Kingdom where I have been for most of my life. I am 54 years old. Ministry in the UK I believe is now being dominated by churches from Africa. The UK brought Christianity to Africa but it has gone full circle because now Africa has brought Christianity back to Europe. There are hundreds of African churches in most cities in Europe now and growing.
Popularly known as HRH Prince Pius because I was born into a royal family from Bokyi nation in Cross River State of Nigeria. As a young boy I attended the Catholic Church and my mother is still a very strong Catholic. My father slept in the Lord in 2001. I have always known God, in 1978 a cousin took me to a Pentecostal Church in Sokoto, Nigeria when I became burn again however, I stopped my walk with God and went into the world doing things that do not glorify God. I prayed most times, went to church regularly and the Lord was very patient with me. Finally, May 2013 a friend took me to another church when I had spiritual attack. God delivered me and I became filled with the Holy Spirit who gave me the gift of Healing and Casting out Demons.
As a young boy I always knew I was going to serve the Lord later in life. I need to fully live up to my name (Pius) “A Religious Person.” My dream is to have an Outreach Ministry for casting out demons, healing and wining souls through music and drama while glorifying God. I have had interesting conversations with Pastors about God and I was already planning to work with some Anointed men and women of God. My plan is to establish my Ministry in my home town in Nigeria and work with other respected Pastors from other parts of the world. During my search for information to help my ministry, I found Christian Leaders Institute and my life has not been the same because the course is so in-depth, very clear, very well researched, professionally presented and surprisingly free.
Since joining my church in Manchester, I have receive tremendous support spiritually, emotionally and physically. The Lord anointed me with the Holy Spirit two days to my last birthday; I was made an Elder and Minister. As an NGO expert, I have helped the church to establish its own members association to look at welfare issues in the church and the community. I want to give something back to the church before I relocate to Nigeria. Most of the members and the church leadership respect my views and I am using the knowledge gained from CLI to help improve the work in my local church. I now have a fruitful walk with God. I joined two men of God and we visit people in their homes to pray with them and give them directions from the Holy Spirit.
My family means a lot to me. I have informed my family about my decision to serve the Lord, my wife has been an inspiration for my calling, she prays for me to be successful in anything I do. My mother was very happy to hear that I decided to surrender to our Lord and Saviour. My children were very surprised, because my lifestyle was of the world. I now preach to my children, my siblings know God some are burn again, my plan is to help save all my family and my larger family. My children are ready to join my ministry and join me to serve the Lord. Since I met Jesus again last year, I communicate with our father everyday and every time and unfailingly searching the Word.
Finally, I need to be well prepared for my Ministry. CLI is my hope for that, at the moment I am out of work and life has been a struggle. I need the scholarship to continue my education. I know that as I start working I will make regular contribution to the work of CLI. When my ministry is in full operation, CLI will play a huge role in the training of my Pastors. At the moment I have been actively promoting this Online Bible School in the United Kingdom and work of CLI to my church members and to other friends that have been Called and those already Pastors. I would appreciate prayers for more anointing from the Holy Spirit and continuous Spiritual growth.

The melting pot. The country where it is okay to be any Skin color, or have any religion. The country where dreams have the ability to grow wings, and inspire millions. The united states of America. Where in most countries you will experience physical death. The united states is very unluck in retro respect , because we experience spiritual death.
Sin is a gigantic problem That cuts the soul off from God. The untied states is a breeding ground for murder, lust, gluttony, anger, and violence. In the new international version( mark 7:20-23) it has (What comes out of you is what defiles you. For with in out of your hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly. All of these things come from in side of you, and defile you.)
The united sates has people who will Deceive you. People who will bend the verses of the Bible to suit their own needs. You will run into people who will judge you, hate you. Satan will attack you at every angle he can to induce your spiritual death.
One example is some one informed me as long as you do your duty as a man ,and bare a child with a woman then it is alright to have homo sexual relations. (When it Leviticus new king James version says) (you shall not lay with a male as you would a women it is an abomination). Also there persist the fact of improper knowledge of what it means to be a Christian.
The Christian institute’s Christian basics helped me receive the knowledge in what it means to be a good Christian. Before I had not realized I was a fake masquerading, as the real deal . I was hindered spiritually because I lacked the proper the knowledge of what it actually took. From the basics I learned I knew of god since I was a child, but I did not know him . The Journey that took me here was a long twisted narrow path way that I barely scrapped out of. The journey brought me to question my soul, my faith, where I belong. Until one night I prayed on my knees confessing all of my sins . it was not until weeks later that I felt the spirit of God.
( Romans 10:9 esv version) says (Because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is lord , and believe with all your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved. )There is a way into salvation paid by the blood of the lamb.( John 3:16-17 esv version.) ( For God so loved the world he gave his only son, so that who ever believes in him shall not perish , but have eternal life. For god did not send his son to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.)
John 3:16 Has lead me to the firm belief That every one from any walk of life should be allowed in to the bride of Jesus Christ. There are churches who turn away people for the way they are dressed. There are pastors who shun there own brother out of church. There are churches That condemn you for missing a few sundays. My sister had missed a few , the Pastor informed her she was going to hell because of that. She refused to go after that. I believe people should want to come to worship. They should feel the holy ghost coming over them . They should not have to attend because you are going to hell if you do not .
I want to provide a safe haven for those who want to receive the word of god, and come to know our savior. I need to have the proper knowledge to obtain what is necessary to teach the gospel where there is no confusion . Where I would have the ability to inspire, and teach salvation to those who seek, and to those who need it. This opportunity would grant me the possibility of saving millions, or even hundreds. This opportunity will allow me to save that one person that thinks they can not be saved.
( Remember this who ever sow sparingly will reap sparingly, and those who sow generously will reap generously ) ( 2 cor verse 9.6 new intentional version) Tells the whole person what I hope to achieve. I Want to plant not just one seed , or a couple seeds .I want to plant a whole valley of seeds, so when they spread they will plant their own valley. I firmly believe one day I will be a church planter .

Bible Training Christian Leaders Basic Graduate Story
I am Marlon Tuazon, an overseas Filipino working here in Rimini, Italy. I was born on September 21, 1963. My permanent residence is Orani, Bataan, Philippines. I am the third eldest in a family of seven. I have been married to Yolanda Tuazon for almost eighteen years. Unfortunately, we don’t have any children.
I came to know the Lord Jesus on March 20, 1984, when someone invited me to Bible training in a neighboring dormitory. I was a second year college student at the time studying Civil Engineering at Feati University, in Manila. After six months, I decided to follow Jesus and serve Him in the ministry. I started attending more Bible training often. I went to leadership training, seminars, and a school of evangelism in our church. After I graduated from college, I returned to my hometown and continued my unofficial Bible training there. Due to an economic crisis and low salary however, I was convinced by my brother to work here in Italy. Unfortunately, I have no chance to practice my profession in Italy because of the language barrier. Also, they do not recognize degrees that are not from their schools. So instead, I have been working as a domestic helper since April of 2007. I petitioned my wife and she followed me here after three years. Although I am working, I still serve the Lord by helping our senior pastor in the teaching and preaching area of ministry .
To do ministry here in Italy is quite difficult and challenging because of the language problem. Most Italians prefer to listen and speak in their own language. Moreover, most of them are Catholics and are more interested in going to coffee bars, amusement centers, and parks, rather than church services. That is why our ministry here is limited to people who can understand English and also to our fellow Filipinos.
I identify myself as a pastor, because it has always been in my heart to bring people to Christ and help them grow spiritually. It is also my desire to give Bible training to workers and leaders for the Lord.
As I look back on my life, it has been God’s faithfulness, goodness, mercy and love, during my ups and downs, trials and difficulties, that has prompted me to pursue Bible training and ministry.
My dreams and goals are to bring more people to Christ and to become a full time pastor. Our local church is supporting us in this calling through prayer and encouragement. My wife plays a big role in the ministry as well, especially teaching children in Sunday School.
The desire to have formal Bible training at a Bible Institute like CLI has always been on my heart, especially when some pastors have questioned my eligibility because I didn’t have a diploma from a Bible School. At present I cannot afford to enroll though, because my salary is only enough to sustain our expenses here and the remittances we send to our parents in the Philippines.
Getting a scholarship from CLI will solve this problem and help me to accomplish my vision and dreams for the glory of GOD. Thank you CLI for this free high quality Bible training that you give the world!
