Called to Share Jesus
Christian Leaders Institute is giving ministry training to those who are called to share Jesus in their community. Many who study at CLI are “unlikely” Christian leaders. But one common characteristic is that God has revealed himself and that they sense that they are called to share Jesus in this world.
Graduate Wendy Pepe is one such person. Read her story and get inspired to also be called to share Jesus with others!
I am a Christian who had gone astray. I was in desperate need of direction and a miracle. That is just what I received. I had been in trouble with alcohol and drugs and could not find my way out. I had two children, was enrolled in a prestigious nursing program and was able to keep everything under cover until my husband needed emergency surgery and was out of work. I needed to stay home from school to care for him and we had no means of income. In desperation and with no where to turn, I finally did what I should have done years ago, I turned to God. I found myself on my knees in tears asking God to forgive me for the way I had been living my life. He did and has since freed me from the bondage I felt so enslaved to, and has given me knew life and another chance.
That was several years ago and since then I have been experiencing the joy I remembered from my past. God has revived me and given me a new appreciation for who He is and a better understanding of His grace. I have also been involved in outreach and have begun a ministry in my local church for those struggling with addictions. I know that the Lord is the only answer. My burning desire is to share with others the peace and joy that I have found in knowing Jesus Christ. I desire to follow Him wherever He leads me and strongly feel this is His will for my life.

Kalev Peet graduates with a Christian Leaders Basic Certificate. He writes,
We have just relocated to the North Coast of Scotland after a period of living missionally in an
orthodox jewish community. Our part of the UK is traditionally Christian, but in recent years younger generations have left the faith. Scotland is rife for revival, in spite of a growing tide of anti gospel sentiment.
After childhood abuse I slipped into drugs and crime, whilst backpacking I ended up staying in a Guatemalan orphanage run by believers. I saw the gospel preached in deed and word, on my return to the UK, I was further convicted of my need for repentance and the forgiveness found in Jesus. I began trusting in Jesus in 2003 and have been following Him ever since. I have been drug free, and not involved in criminality ever since. Furthermore, the Lord has allowed me to work in prisons, drug and mental health services and homeless outreach. He took the depth of my sin and used it for His glory.
To serve God in my community alongside my wife and children, our town has seen revival before, and we long to be used as a witness and share the love of God in Christ. We live in a small fishing town and want to be a lighthouse for those in darkness. Our hearts are toward opening our home as a simple church/small group, continuing to conduct homeless outreach.
I have several people in my life who God used mightily to speak truth into my life, and the desire to be used of God to speak and sow into the lives of others is a burning desire.I have been blessed with opportunity previously to do this and it felt “right”, I believe the witness of the Word and Spirit have confirmed this call.
The unique challenges in our geographic area is New age practices and paganism. There is a general hostility to things of God.
We have had words of prophecy that God will use our family unit for his glory, that the life experiences and challenges we have overcome by His grace will be used as a testimony and witness for His Kingdom. My family are pivotal in my ministry calling. Home first then the community!!
Christian Leaders Institute is a foundational part in being thoroughly equipped for every good work. The depth and scope of the CLI program will equip me with an education (which I could never afford) to empower and enable me to fulfill the call I have.Please pray for openings in our community, for a boldness of approach in our homeless outreach and street evangelism. Pray that our corporate walk as a family will be founded on grace, empowered by faith and evidenced by fruit, fruit enough to share with others!!
London Bible School Options for At Christian Leaders Institute
I was born 1969 in Ghana to a Ghanaian parents who were not so religious, living alone with my
parents as the third child of theirs, I migrated a few years later at the age of 2 when my Mum and Dad separated, I started living with one of my Aunties, who took care of me as her own, though she wasn’t religious. As I started growing up, I made my own decision to attend any church I set my eyes on and made it a point to go to any church any one invited me to until I decided to attend a Pentecostal church. Attending revivals daily to play instruments for the various churches and helping them out was one of my hobbies, as I was gifted in that particular area, it was with this acts that I got to know more about God and how to serve me.
At the age of 7 I had a revelation about ministering overseas, London to be precise, but since I was very young I didn’t understand so I mentioned it to my Senior Pastor who explained that one day I may be a minister abroad, since then and years after I continued to have dreams of praying, evangelizing, preaching to people and winning souls for God.
As I grew up I had to fend for myself as I was raised from a broken home, I moved to a city called Accra in Ghana and struggling through life and doing all sorts of work as well as going to church as a normal Christian I had another revelation one day, finding myself at a really huge convention where coat hanged, all of a sudden I was wearing the coat and it seemed like I was the one to minister. It was after this revelation and what some ministers and pastors told me that I decided to do God’s work after the revelation and visitation of the Holy Spirit.
I was ushered into ministry by one of my head pastors who made me an overseer of one of his local churches lived a life of a training pastor and a leader until I met my wife and got married around 1996, not knowing that she was the one God was going to use to take me abroad .A year after with the help of my wife’s parent I travelled to the united kingdom. A few years after I got to London around October 2000, I used the trainee I got from my country and started a small ministry with about only three people, with the desire to win more lost souls for the Lord and sharing the Gospel, the members of my ministry increased gradually. Still counting, through thick and thin as well as progressive learning curves, I have been able to set up a church in London and two back in my country in Ghana by god’s grace.
My ministry goal is to expand God’s kingdom both here in London and in Ghana .casting my mind back unto how most of my family members didn’t know God ,I would like to spread the gospel by using every God given gift and talent as well as the help of my leaders. My ambition in life is to be used abundantly for the work of God and also be dead to self, looking unto Jesus alone the author and finisher of my faith .I am mostly identified as a pastor as I have been ordained and sometimes I see myself as a church planter as one of my aims in life and ministry is to plant as many churches as possible. Am in the process of planting three churches and still counting.
The experience in life that prompted me and encouraged me to pursue ministry was the encounter of the Holy Spirit as well as the revelations from pastors and men of God. Aside this I had nothing else to live for except God .With constant challenges like financial support and support from family members and some issues in life , it seemed difficult at first but the help of God ;I was able to pull through up until now. My wife and family have since then become a major pillar of support in my ministry as they encourage me daily to strive harder
A scholarship at Christian Leaders Institute will provide me enough qualifications, motivation, support and knowledge needed to sustain a ministry. This bring me a London Bible School online.
Prayer is a key to unlocking the supernatural blessing God has in store for us .My prayer request is that the ministerial goal and dreams God has placed in our hearts will be achieved and we will fulfil the works of he who sent us .May God bless us all .Shalom.
