Occupy Heaven – Multiply Hope

Exploring the Celestial Mission: Christian Leaders Institute’s 2024-2025 Theme

In an Age of Technological Wonders

In a world mesmerized by technological advancements and the promise of interplanetary colonization, led by visionaries like Elon Musk, our collective imagination soars to new heights. The bold dream of Mars colonization symbolizes our relentless pursuit of survival and new realms. However, amidst these earthly endeavors, the Christian Leaders Institute (CLI) anchors its vision in a divine vocation that transcends earthly bounds and reaches for Heaven.

2024-2025: Two Years of Heavenly Focus

The Christian Leaders Institute will promote the theme: “Occupy Heaven – Multiply Hope.” This theme calls us to shift our focus from the red planet’s allure to Heaven’s eternal promise. It’s an invitation to embrace our true mission – spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ and extending the joy of salvation and heavenly citizenship to all.

Our Theme Verse – Occupy Heaven – Multiply Hope

Philippians 3:20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,

Global Conferences in 2024-2025: A Journey of Faith and Learning

CLI will conduct global conferences for Christian leaders, mobilizing operatives and ministers of hope to spread the message of Christ’s redemption and lordship of our universe.

CLI has something to offer whether you are a beginner in faith or a seasoned minister.

Empowering Christian Leaders Everywhere through an Ordination Path with the Christian Leaders Alliance.

In an era captivated by the stars, CLI invites you to look beyond and join in a journey that promises to explore the heavens and occupy them spiritually. Join us in this celestial mission to multiply hope, multiply Christian leaders, and multiply your heaven’s influence on the earth now and for all eternity.
