Relationship with God: Laura has a Relationship with God. She starts her story by giving some background for her life and how she got aRelationship with God.
“I live in the Netherlands, in a city called Breda. God has called me to be here to serve Him, and the wonderful people of Holland. Most of the people in Holland will tell you, they simply do not believe in one true God or that they could have Relationship with God. They are to busy in their lives to give Him much attention.”
Laura first got a Relationship with God in USA.
“As a Born again christian from Kansas city Kansas, U.S.A. I would like to share my testimony with you. Having a Relationship with God is very important. God has always had a purpose for each of us. God allowed me to be raised by my maternal grandmother. She was a God fearing Christian. While I was raised in the church, it was not until after I got married and had a family that I figured out how much I needed God in my life.”
A Relationship with God helped her through an abusive husband.
“My husband at the time was extremely abusive. Throughout my marriage to him, there were many a time that I can now look back on and see where only by the grace of God I am still here. I know that my Relationship with God protected me, saved me, healed me, and he continues to watch over me. I gave my heart, soul, and life to the Lord many years ago, when my life seemed to be at its darkest point. I will never turn away from Him, and I will give all I have to help others to get to know and love Him, as I do.”
Her dream is to help others have a Relationship with God.
“The church and foundation where I am a member and teacher is a very Spirit filled church. We are small in physical size, but mighty in our love of the Lord. Our mission is simple, to share Gods love with everyone that will listen, and to help people to develop a Relationship with God. My personal ministry dream is to open a Christian based shelter in Breda where victims of abuse can find shelter, protection, and God’s love and teachings. We need to show in our lives God’s love for others, if we want people to come to the Lord.”
CLI can equip her to help others have a Relationship with God.
“A scholarship at CLI gives people world wide an opportunity to learn God’s Word, and provides the necessary skills and education for people to develop a Relationship with God. In the short time I have been studying at CLI, I have come to see how this Institute can benefit many churches, their members, and non believers to grow to maturity in their walk with the Lord.”
Laura wants abuse victims to have a Relationship with God.
“CLI can help me to fulfill my dream of a Christian based shelter for abuse victims, and go far beyound that to reach the lives of everyone we come in contact with by teaching its students how to develop, sustain, and grow in their individual Relationship with God, as well as, within their families, their church, community, town, and the wrold as a whole.”
Prayer is absolutely needed for Laura as she moves forward with her dream of helping others have a Relationship with God.
“I ask that you will pray for CLI to receive the funds they need to continue to give to their students the high quality of education that they provide freely to their students. May you pray also that God continues to use me in Holland to reach the broken hearted people here for His glory. I know that through my education at CLI, I will grow in my Relationship with God as well as learn the valuable and key things I need to help others to come to and grow in the Lord.”
Laura ends by asking you to support CLI as it helps others have a Relationship with God.
“May the Good Lord show you today how and where you may be a vital donor to CLI. Perhaps it is in the way of finances, and perhaps it is in some other means. My prayer is that God will show you how you can help CLI and other institutes like it to continue to give freely to help others to come to and grow in their knowledge and Relationship with God.
May God bless you and keep you; Laura Aarts”

Mission Zimbabwe: The African continent is an area of great need for the gospel in the world. Mission Zimbabwe has a speficic challenge that is unique in the ministry world. The people of Zimbabwe are very literate which requires a high level of biblical understanding to effectively share his word. Peter Nyakudya starts his story by sharing about his life with Mission Zimbabwe.
“Greetings in the mighty name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I live in Zimbabwe, in Southern Africa. I am a church Leader in my church. Zimbabwe has the highest literate rate in Africa at the moment. Preaching to the unsaved people require someone with knowledge of the Word of God. I am enjoying sharing the Word of God for mission Zimbabwe.”
Peter saw a need to understand the word of God for Mission Zimbabwe at a young age.
“I was saved when I was 16years old. I was born in a Christian family. When I was 16, I dedicated my life to the Lord has I started to understand the Word of God.”
His dream is to fearlessly preach the gospel for Mission Zimbabwe.
“My dream ministry is Teaching Ministry to further Mission Zimbabwe Hosea 4 vs 6 says, My people are perishing because of lack of knowledge. Has man and women of God seek knowledge today, we are hindered by the economic hardships of today. We have man and women of God today who seek to get that knowledge but were hindered by lack of funds to pay at various Bible colleges.”
Mission Zimbabwe is not possible without the right training.
“This scholarship will enable me to continue mission Zimbabwe and fulfill Jeremiah 1 vs 8 and 1Timothy 4 vs 13. That will make sure that I go into the world well equipped to tackle any questions regarding the Word of God as I enjoy Teaching ministry.”
Christian Leaders Institue is instrumental in the success of Mission Zimbabwe.
“Thanks to Christian Leaders Institute organization, who are offering the training of Leaders for free on-line. For the organization to continue operating, they need funding in form of donations. I am humbly asking your organization to donate towards this noble cause. Always remember Hebrews 6 vs 10 which says, God will repay for every good work you have done towards His work.”
Peter ends by asking for your prayers for him and Mission Zimbabwe.
“I would request a prayer that I will be strong and increase in wisdom, understanding and explaining the Word of God that many will know and be strong in the Lord through my ministry. Yours Faithfully – Peter Nyakudya”
Peter has finished the Christian Basics Certificate. He continues to lead The United Assemblies Church thanks to generous donors of Christian Leaders Institute.

Youth Ministry: Beth Clavette has a goal of being part of a youth ministry. She shares her journey and challenges she faces in becoming part of a youth ministry.
“Grace from the Father and may He bless CLI! My name is Beth Clavette and I was born at Camp Le Jeaune, North Carolina. My biological father was in the Marines, my mother was in the Navy. I was born on April 26, 1977 in a military hospital. We resided in North Carolina for a few years before my parents were sadly divorced. My father had an affair, and on the same day of the divorce he remarried. My mother remarried a few years later to my step father, who was serving in the Army at the time.
Beth was part of a military family, this influenced her path to a youth ministry.
“We left the Unites States for two years while my father was in the service to the United Kingdom. When we returned to the United States, we resided in Maine and remained there while I grew up. I count it a joy and blessing that here in the United States, serving and ministring is more open than many other nations of the world. Unfortunately, there is still persecution but not nearly as bad as it could be.”
She was targeted by a youth ministry when she was young.
“When I resided in Maine with my family, my parents were witnessed to quite often and finally came to the Lord. We began going to a small but wonderful church. Each summer, the church would participate in a youth ministry program designed to witness to children, while giving oportunities for learning different crafts such as, fishing, canoing, and other fun and enjoyable activities. When I was nine, my mother and I stayed in the same cabin together as she was the Senior counselor for my age group. Another girl in my cabin caught the heart of my mother due to this girl’s bad situation.”
Beth envied another girl in her youth ministry.
“I became jealous, and angry that my mother began treating me harshly while this other girl was being treated more gently. It got to the point where my mother told me she wanted to adopt this girl, bring her home and that I would not only have to accept this but also make peace with this girl. I left chapel that night in tears, angry and frustrated. A different camp counselor came out to see if I was alright. After being ministered by this woman, I came to know the Lord and knew that God would be with me no matter what happened.”
He empathy for other children pushed her into youth ministry.
“My ministry dream is to be a part of a youth ministry since I have always had a strong love for them. Seeing young children come to know the Lord is such a joy and blessing! Right now, however the church that I am currently am attending needs much help. So, while I am not able to have that youth ministry right now, the Lord has shown me that this church deeply needs to be uplifted, and encouraged. So, my ministry has begun to help reestablish this church for His glory.”
Free tuition is the only way Beth can be properly equipped for her youth ministry.
“A scholarship would grately benifit me while I am in ministry because of the financial burdens of not only the church but in my own life. I have a young child and we are both disabled. My son is Autistic while I have learning disabilities and other disabilities which have kept me from working a secular job. I have had a few jobs before but for one reason or another, was not able to continue. Having the scholarship would provide me the training, and the encouragement that I need and will be able to share this blessing with the church.”
Her youth ministry dream can finally be realized thanks to Christian Leaders Institues Scholarships.
“Please, pray for the pastor and the members of the South Riverside Baptist Church. Pastor Hart is about to retire, and a different person is taking over. During his ministry, Pastor Hart lost many of his members due to being taken by the Lord to go home. Many of the members have become discouraged as they no longer have the numbers or the family size that they used to. During the economic crisis, many of their programs they had in place have had to be removed. Pray that there is a revival of renewed spirits and hearts, that more people would come in to worship God. Also, I am asking for wisdom to be able to witness, invite and minister to all that the Lord allows me. I thank God for this school, and thank CLI for helping make my youth ministry dreams come true.”
Beth has completed the Christian Basics Certificate. She continues to expand her education for youth ministry thanks to generous donors of Christian Leaders Institute.
