Reginald Harris –
“First I would like to thank you for all I have learned from CLI . I live in the U.S and the Ministry here is good but we still have a great number of lost people who don’t know Jesus. I would have to say I was not looking for the Lord, but He opened my eyes. I have never been so happy, so Thanks Father.
“I go in the prison and minister to the guys and it is very rewarding. The dream I have is to be a prison chaplain. I feel it is what I was called to do. I plan to have programs in place to help them live a Christian lifestyle so that the teachings will carry over into the free world and they will not return to prison.”

“I am a father of five teenagers three which reside in the home with myself and my wife. The scholarship at CLI would benefit my family tremendously in that I can pursue my goal of helping to show others how to live for Christ Jesus. You guys have done a lot for me already but if you would pray for this ministry that would be great.”
Reginald Harris is a man who is willing to do what most would not dream of. In America’s crowded prison systems, men and women alike struggle to make it through sentences and back to life as a United States Citizen. The problem is that many of these men and women return to the streets. Society has offered many programs that are supposed to solve these social “misfits'” problems, but Reginald Harris knows that there is only one true solution. God is the only answer to all sin, and Reginald Harris want to lead the men and women who often have the least access to good Christian teaching and support to Him. To do that, Reginald Harris will sacrifice his personal time to go in to these places and teach them about Christ. More than that, Reginald Harris wants to develop Christian programs that will develop the walk with Christ once they leave the prisons. To do all this, Reginald Harris needs an excellent Christian education, and Christian Leaders Institute can offer that to him.

Sheldon Rox –
“My name is Sheldon Rox, Pastor of the Union Valley Missionary Baptist Church in Indiana. I have been blessed to start my studies at CLI and I have been truly blessed.
“I reside in the USA and minister in a small city. It is very challenging to minister in a small community Church, because everyone in the Church is related to each other. God has a sense of humor when calling some to Pastor, when asking to lead a congregation of His people, He often time gives you those who truly need a Shepherd to lead them.
“From an early age, my family were in Church, so I was introduced to the Lord and developed a relationship with Him as my Lord and Savior.
“My ministry dream is to build a Church full of people who love God and desire to do His willing until the day He returns. My dream is not to build a big building, but to build up a people of God who want to change the world by the Word of God.”
Sheldon Rox Receives a Scholarship
“A scholarship from CLI is important to my ministry, because I pastor a very small Church that has a hard time paying a small salary let alone pay to sent me to school. I believe to teachers and preachers of God’s Word needs to be well educated on the Word of God to rightly divide His Word.
“I ask the CLI pray that I continue to seek God’s face and lead His people to a grater understand of their relationship with His. That we grow in spirit and truth as we prepare to minister to a world that everyday become more lost without Jesus.
“So, please help support CLI in anyway you can, so others like myself can study the Word of God and lead more people to the Lord.”
Sheldon Rox has been called to be a leader of God’s people in a small town. However, the congregation of the church lacks sufficient monetary resources to get him into traditional seminary training. Sheldon Rox knows that although he learned much about God growing up, there is still much more that he can learn. That is why Sheldon Rox was led to Christian Leaders Institute. Here, people like Sheldon Rox get free training every day so that they can be equipped, and they in turn can then go out and equip others.

“My name is Jodie Powell and I live in the United States, I suppose faith and Christianity is different in the United States than some other countries. Most Americans are aware of or are curious about God and His existence, as opposed to some other countries who have never even heard of God and know nothing of Him. To do ministry in the United States is quite different; we are able to seek the training to do so and being a free country we are able to openly share our faith and plant churches.
“I first came to know the Lord as a child, although I did not grow up in a Christian home I frequently attended church with the elderly lady who lived across the street from out home. At the age of 5 I asked Jesus to come into my heart, I fell from the Lord many times growing up but finally came to the Lord once again at the age of 30, repenting of my sins and surrendering my life to Him for His purpose.”
Jodie Powell Receives a Scholarship
“I feel God has called me to do missionary work, I desire to teach God’s word and His love to those in other countries. I also greatly desire to bring to the Lord those who live here in the United States, as well as in my own community. I want to know so much more about God, I seek knowledge of His word, His love, His will. I prayed for a very long time for God to reveal Himself more to me and to direct me, one evening I felt God calling me to Bible college. I started my search and ended up here at CLI, I asked God “Is this it? Is this the one?” and needless to say here I am! Each day I pray for the Holy Spirit to fill me and give me understanding of all CLI has to teach me, I am so excited to see what God has in store for me through CLI, what a blessing and wonderful opportunity.
“Please pray that God will use me through this experience, that all the training here at CLI will be for His glory and that I will be a empty vessel for God to fill with His knowledge and love to share with all His people.”
Jodie Powell grew up knowing the Lord. As many others who came to know Christ at an early age, Jodie Powell experienced the spiritual struggles of many years of wandering. Now Jodie Powell feels God’s call on her life. Jodie Powell is ready to leave her country and go out into the world in the name of God, preaching the gospel in His service. She is not concerned with the comforts of the U.S. or the discomfort of a foreign culture. Jodie Powell is concerned with receiving a solid foundation in the scripture for her work. Christian Leaders Institute can give Jodie Powell the training she needs as she prepares to do God’s work on the mission field.
