Dina Newman –
“My name is Dina Newman and I live in Toronto, Canada.
“In Toronto, and especially in the area I live and go to church, there aren’t many churches that share the Gospel message, or are enabling spiritual growth. Sharing the Gospel in Toronto is challenging, especially where I live, as many don’t feel they need or want a relationship with Jesus Christ.
“I came to know Jesus while in Jamaica studying with Jehovah’s Witnesses. I prayed and asked God if their teachings weren’t the Truth, He would reveal Himself to me. A few days later I met a Christian missionary couple who took me to a home bible study for a couple of months. There I learned God’s Word, and asked Jesus to be my Savior.
“I started this course to gain more knowledge of God and the bible while waiting on the Lord to show me His plan for me. I have a strong desire to help teenagers and point them to Jesus. I would like to study Christian counseling.”
Dina Newman Receives a Scholarship
“A scholarship with CLI would enable me to study counseling, as I don’t have the funds or time to go to seminary school, since I have to work full-time.
“Please pray that the Lord will guide me as I step out in faith to fulfill the destiny He has for me.
“Thank you for this wonderful opportunity, and God continue to richly bless Christian Leaders Institute for the amazing ministry you are providing for people like myself!”
Dina Newman once belonged to the cult of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, but she knew that their teachings were not true. After meeting a Christian missionary couple, Dina Newman received the true word of the gospel and joined the fellowship of the body of Christ. Now Dina Newman desires to counsel others with wise, biblical counsel, but she can’t afford to go to a seminary. This is why Dina Newman has come to Christian Leaders Institute, where a scholarship can help her realize her vision of counseling teens and leading them to Christ.

Jeffrey Davidson –
“Can the Lord use more old men in America? I came to know a little about the Lord as a child from my grandparents who were catholic. They occasionally took me to church with them and I got a sense that there was more to this life than what I then realized.
“I didn’t really come to know the Lord until I was in my mid twenty’s, looking back I know that He knew me and that His hand was on my life. I have wanted to be a pastor or a theologian since that time. It never seemed possible to go to seminary, so I studied myself and got involved in as many ministries as I could handle.”
Jeffrey Davidson Receives a Scholarship
“Today, I’m an older man, who still can’t seem to afford to go to seminary, but my dream has never dimmed. I still desire to learn more about our God and I still desire to serve Him in whatever roles He sovereignly determines for me. I must work long hours to support my wife and me, but with my extra time I still desire to study. I think a scholarship will help add some tools and perspective to my study. It may open other doors in ministry for me.
“I would have people pray that I remain determined to serve the Lord despite all the seemingly impassible obstacles that life throws at me. I would desire that people pray that I come to know the Lord in a deeper, richer way and that He enables me to pass that knowledge and experience on to others in His service.”
Jeffrey Davidson felt God calling him to the ministry early in life, but was never able to afford the seminary education required. Through the years, Jeffrey Davidson never lost his passion for Christ, and finally an opportunity has come to pursue his calling. Jeffrey Davidson has found Christian Leaders Institute, where he can obtain the same quality education as is offered at a traditional seminary without the cost. A scholarship at Christian Leaders Institute could mean fulfillment of a lifelong ministry dream for Jeffrey Davidson.

David Chan Sjachril –
“My Name is David. I live in Indonesia, considered one of the most populous country in the World. In my opinion, Christianity is growing significantly in my country as many young people getting to serve Lord faithfully. Many people are turning to God, and I feel the Holy Spirit is working here. But still there is too many people still do not know Jesus. So I am being called by God to share the Good News to all places in Indonesia. Therefore, I need to equip myself with proper training, which I could find on this website. Currently I serve in local Church as a Mandarin Service Coordinator and a Bible Study Leader. My dream is that I can preach the Gospel throughout Indonesia.”
David Chan Sjachril Receives a Scholarship
“A scholarship at CLI is important because I couldn’t afford the expensive seminary training. I wish CLI could grant me Scholarship and I make sure I will use the knowledge here to bring the Glory to the God. And I wish CLI can pray for me that I will realize my ministry dream.
“I came to know God since 4 years ago, and knowing Him is the most wonderful experience I have in my entire life.
“Thank you so much CLI for bringing such a wonderful website.”
David Chan Sjachril was called by God 4 years ago. His calling comes at a time when Christianity is spreading in Indonesia, and David Chan Sjachril is called to be a part of this great movement. However, David Chan Sjachril is unable to afford traditional seminary training to prepare him for God’s work. This is why David Chan Sjachril has come to Christian Leaders Institute.
