Licensed Minister Journey
Licensed Minister Journey: Ministry Mission
My name is Loren. I am a 60-year-old married, born again, baptized, and saved Christian currently living in Texas. On my licensed minister journey, I am studying at the Christian Leaders Institute (Learn more about Bible courses and ministry classes online, Click Here).
My faith in Christ did not come from my childhood church attendance. Rather, it came from seeing my life as going nowhere while I served in the Marine Corps. I found that there is hope and peace in knowing Jesus Christ as my personal Savior.
I have a dream of a healing ministry. This would be church, ministry, counseling, and training for the hurting. I envision a Spirit-filled ministry where many lives can be turned around from whatever pain and suffering they have endured. It would help them see that there is love, compassion, and healing through Jesus Christ.
Ministry Training and Biblical Teaching at CLI
I searched for just the right ministry training and Biblical teaching. The Christian Leaders Institute has what I am looking for. Now, I can learn what is needed to become an effective leader in my ministry and reach out to those in need. Being able to do this will undoubtedly show God’s saving grace and His love for us through His Son, Jesus Christ. I want to lead lost and hurting people to salvation in Jesus Christ.
In these difficult economic times, I have the opportunity to study and learn for free from the Christian Leaders Institute. I would not otherwise have the opportunity because of the lack of affordability of other schools. In previous years, I took many classes at different colleges and universities in the way of Biblical training. However, even some of the so-called Christian schools have a curriculum that often teaches in a secular worldview instead of a Christian worldview.
Licensed Minister Journey
Finding Christian Leaders Institute and Christian Leaders Alliance has been such a blessing. With the free classes, affordability is not an issue. However, I am and will continue to be a vision partner in giving. CLI not only gives me the opportunity to study and learn from such Spirit-filled instructors but also gives many others the same opportunity. With the classes that I have taken so far, I am more excited than ever to keep learning. As I continue to finish classes, I find areas in my personal life and in ministry that I can enhance and improve.
Becoming a licensed minister with CLA is a great milestone. It is the first of many achievements that I hope to embark on to benefit my ministry service. My wife now also has an interest in Christian Leaders Institute. Since there are constantly new courses to take, I am sure that we will be taking many together, and hopefully get others to get training as well.
I would like to ask for prayer so that The Lord will use my wife and me together in ministry. We are open to wherever we can be used to serve and in whatever way. We want to help people see that there is a way to salvation, away from the death and destruction of this world. In everything, we always want to bring glory to our Father in Heaven and our Lord Jesus Christ.
