Bible College – Gibson of Zambia accepted the asked Jesus into his life at a young age. He wants to more then just be a believer, he wants to be a teacher for a local Bible College. He shares about his experience at Christian Leaders Institue an online Bible College.
“My name is Gibson Lubasi Kalenga a Zambian citizen, living in Lusaka, Zambia is a developing country found in Cenral Africa with a population of about 13 million. We have 73 tribes and the people here are very friendly. In terms of the weather, it is also good, as it is balanced, it is not very hot and not very cold. And with the declaration of Zambia as a Christian nation, I feel this is the place ideal for ministry work.
I came to know the lord through a renowned local preacher when I was still at School in the rural part of Livingstone City at a Mission School. His sermons were so touching and frightening, and this made me to accept Jesus Christ as my lord and saviour in 1978 in the Church of Christ.”
Gibson wants to be a teacher for a local Bible college.
“My Ministry dream is to be a Bible School teacher at a local Bible College. I feel this will make me achieve my goal. However to achieve this I will not only need experienced teachers but also spiritual guidance. And I have hope that one day this will come true.”
This online Bible College can give him what he needs to be a great teacher of the word.
“When I look at the CLI set-up as an online Bible College; the way they handle students, their experiences, how they lay their modules, how they explain the Bible and their teaching style, it is simply marvelous and unique. And I feel this is the right place for me to achieve what I want.”
In terms of prayers for me, please go ahead and pray for me. I should say this is what Christ left when he said “I don’t pray for you alone but also for others out there. In view of this please pray for me for physical strength because i like travelling to Gospel meetings,spiritual power, wisdom, courage and faith.
Yours in Christ,
Gibson Lubasi Kalenga”

Hello, My name is Christopher Bryant, I currently am a musician at the House of God Church in Cleveland, OH. I was born and raised in Cleveland. I am the last of 9 Children. and most of my family is in some type of Ministry. I am currently unemployed but God is providing.
I came to know Jesus Christ by witnessing the faith of my mother. She was a praying woman whose knees received much use. As I grew up watching her and worshiping at the church where we all belonged, I became thirsty to know her God for myself. I prayed a prayer that day, repenting of my sins and asking Him to come into my heart and life as both Savior and Lord. I was baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost and my local church and currently serve as a musician.
My ministry dream is a bit abstract. As a young man, 23 years old at the time of this writing, I have a burning desire and passion to see the church revived and my generation transformed. I see a lack of solid apologetics at the laymember, deacon and sometimes even the ministerial level. The church does not know how to defend herself. My generation is suffering from an identity crisis and the church doesn’t know who it is either. So my ministry goal is to help bridge that gap, connecting young adults to timeless truths in a real, relevant and transformative way.
A Scholarship at Christian Leaders Institute will allow me to have a foundation in apolegetics, ministry and leadership so that I can know what I’m talking about, rightly divide the Word of truth, discover the truths that the church had obfuscated and lost, and help restore them to my generation. It will also help me establish myself as a credible leader, because my generation has a skepticism that makes them ask, “how do you know…” and “what qualifies you to….” Lastly, because I plan on entering the ordained ministry, a scholarship at CLI will enable me to have a foundation for future ministry.
If you wish to pray for me in this endeavor, pray that people will be open and receptive to the evidences of the Faith. Pray that I have the wisdom to present the information in a way that people can easily understand. And Pray that their savation follows as a result.

Mission India – Mr Vinay Shivtare is age 40 years and lives in a small town in Virar which is in Maharashtra state. Mission India is done in a largely a Hindu country and people follow Hinduism as their religion and believe in idol worship. Vinay was called to ministry.
Vinay tells his story, “I had been born and brought up in a Hindu family. My mother was a believer and follower of Christianity. My Father also had a second wife, a Hindu woman and he used to take me and my brothers to Hindu temples and make us worship idols. Sometimes I used to go in church secretly with my mother. As this continued I became aware of the conflict between both religions. Christianity is about a loving God who sent his son into the world to save the world. It is about the work of the Holy Spirit. Hindu is about rituals and fear.
Finally there was a conflict over this between my father and mother. My father forced me to perform all Hindu rituals. It was a difficult situation, as days passed I was very much depressed and disturbed due to continuing quarreling, fighting and abusing between my mother and father. My father was addicted to alcohol and was in financial crisis due to two marriages and many children.
My family was totally disturbed there was no love and affection given to our family. I became violent and arrogant; I was developing a criminal mind. But at this time, the Lord Jesus saved me and brought me a Christian girl who came into my life. God lifted me up from this situation. I was resurrected in spirit. She gave me comfort with the help of scriptures from Bible. I was baptized and married this girl (Nutan). Today I have two kids and we are a happy Christian family, serving the Lord.
Mission India Calling
The mission India dream of my ministry “is to spread the Gospel and comfort people, the believers and unbelievers, who are facing problems in life like myself and who are away from the kingdom of the Lord Jesus. I can give my testimony of how the Lord Jesus changed my life and helped and guide me through my wife to overcome all my problems and lifted me up and assured me a glorious life. I want to preach the Gospel to the unbelievers.
Christian Leaders Institute will help me to acquire the training I need so that I can become a Pastor and a good preacher of the Lord Jesus. Christian Leaders Institute will guide me to make my mission India dreams come true. This is especially true because I cannot relocate for training and I have not extra money. Your training is a God send to me!
Thank you!”
Vinay Shivtare.
