My name is Patrick Williams currently resides in Tucson, AZ, where he is retired. In his adult life, he has always worked in a field where he was servicing the community. Served in the USAF as a Police Officer for 20 years, volunteer Firefighter, EMT for 8 years and now for the past 20 years he has been a nurse.

"I grew up in a semi-religious family but it was never a priority. Always a strong believer in GOD, but he was never in the forefront of my life. That changed around a couple years ago. I come to realize that my public service was a stepping stone to the encounters I had as a child. It was God teaching and preparing me for what I feel is His next plan for me and that is to serve our Lord in the Ministry. I feel truly blessed for every day for the gifts that He has given me and I humbly pray that my works will continue to glorify His word and His holy name.

Through Christian Leaders Institute, I have completed just another small step in my walk with Christ.  Completing the Deacon Minister Ordination opened another avenue where I completed the Ordained Commissioned Minister course.  The accomplishment of completing the course of study brings forth an increase of humbleness.  I can only pray that the Lord finds me worthy and continue to guide me through my day to day walk in Christ.  I have already witnessed how His calling in my life has changed me.  The way I approach each day, the way I speak to each and everyone I meet and most important the way in which I live my life.  As Colossians 4:6  reads, " Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."

Patrick Williams is ordained as a Commissioned Minister with CLI in 2018!

For Randy Hall church was the biggest part of life. Randy was the first member in his family to start attending church. He was in 5^th grade when he started going to church, he did this by himself. Little did Randy know his parents and sister would join him years later.

Although Randy attends church regularly. He says he truly began to feel born again a few years ago.

Now Randy is closing in on 60 years old. He has a Facebook ministry called “Struggles of an ordinary man.” Randy says he feels that God is calling him into an even greater service.

Randy started CLI in 2017 and now has 24 credit hours and a 3.7 G.P.A.

Since beginning his journey here at CLI, He has learned a great deal about myself, things He did know and things I didn't know, but I have grown a great deal. These courses have helped boost his self-confidence,

Reneshia Morgan was born and raised in Memphis, TN. The crime rate is high. Every day she would see news of innocent people and little kids being murdered, people getting robbed, young teens involved in gang activities.

She became a Christian at a young age. Her family taught her well about the Lord but she lost her way. She got pregnant at a young age. She struggled with alcohol and hung around people who meant me no good.

She gave her life to Christ at age 24. Everything changed! At the age of 28, she felt called into ministry. At 30 she felt compelled to start Christian Leaders Institute.

In 2017 she completed her ordination with the Christian Leaders Alliance. She is willing to mentor others in their ministry training and ordination process.

Rita Kay McMillin is married and lives in Brazil Indiana. One night as she was tucking her daughter into bed, her daughters asked me if she was saved. When her children were small, she got them involved in going to church every Sunday. So that night her then eight-year-old daughter witnessed her, and it changed her life forever. She started going to church and she got saved.

In October 2013, several events and spiritual urging brought her a call into ministry. She began Christian Leaders Institute in 2014 and she was ordained in 2018. She is willing to encourage Christian Leaders Institute students and graduates who need a mentor for ministry training or ordination.
