George was raised as a Christian by his parents. However,  major issue all started in 2007. George went into the closet to pray. He wanted to intercede for my brother who's surroundings was not going well. So he went before the Lord in tears with this matter, after praying l had a heavy power which came upon him and shacked him down. George has never experienced this before. The following day at same time He got also into prayer and that's where He felt the same power coming upon him. and this time was unbearable, it filled him. There George started to speak with un-none language for a time.

Since then, George had an increasing a strong desire in himself of the things of God, that he started to embark on prayer and fasting journeys into the mountains. God also visited him in an audible voice telling me how my life shall be and things to come .

Because of the hardship of life, George decided to join the Zimbabwe Republic Police as a policeman.ln, a vision at night around 2300hrs l was visited by an angel a man in white. He asked me a question." What do you want the things of the world or the things of heaven? T o worship God Almighty or continue serving as a policeman? I replied l want heavenly things and to worship God. He held my shoulder and encouraged me to be strong, there he vanished and went away.

.So my three years ended up in 2014 , then l had to resign from the police force, to save God Almighty. Then started a ministry called Home of Glory of God.

Read Gregory's testimony HERE:

My name is Gregory Muthungu, founder and senior pastor of Bridge of Hope (a Church ministry), Kenya. I am 51 years old, husband to one wife, and a father to two daughters. My family and I currently reside in Kitengela town, Kajiado County, Kenya, about 30 km from Nairobi City. I hold a Bachelor Science degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Nairobi, and a Master degree in Geoinformatics from the ITC, the Netherlands. I am the seventh born in a family of five brothers and five sisters.

I grew up in a Christian family. My parents became Christians early in their lives. They were the first in our family line to become Christians. Our parents remained steadfast in their faith despite rejection by other family members who strongly held to African traditional beliefs. By the grace of God salvation came to our family in the early 1970s when our eldest brother got saved. Afterward, my elder brothers and sisters and our Mum also got saved. Eventually, I too got saved in 1980 at the age of 15 years.

I started getting involved in Christian ministry work about 22 years ago. Although I sensed the call of God in my life, I never wanted to be a Church leader, let along being a pastor. For a long time, I resisted the idea of becoming a pastor. But with time I came to learn that one does not just become a pastor, but he is made to become. It is God and people who made me become a pastor. I'm now comfortable to identify myself with the title Pastor.

Ibrahim started Christian Leaders Institute in 2016. He has completed over 65 credits of ministry training. He has been ordained as a Commissioned Minister. He is willing to mentor those in his area and help them get ordained with the Christian Leaders Alliance.

Jac Ferreira from the beautiful country of South Africa. He is married and has four children, one girl, and three boys.  Jac enrolled in CLI in 2014 has completed 100 credit hours and now is ordained as an officiant minister.

Read Jac's Testimony in his own words:

I got to know the Lord better at the age of 13 and I also wanted to become a pastor and to work for the Lord when I finished school, and when asked to do an assignment for the job you are interested in, in my high school the next year, Reverent Brandt helped me to put all together.. Unfortunately, I did like Lot and did not respond immediately and follow a different way.

I got married but making money and the world kept me from one of my greatest passions which is family. although we kind of followed the Lord, I was still busy with worldly things more than I was supposed to. Things were falling apart, and nothing seemed to work. We lost everything and The Holy Spirit made it clear to me, that i"m not following my calling, and that I was not listening to the Lord. and that He had a different plan for me. 

I spend 4 years of falling around trying to get the Institute God wanted. Today I am a satisfied student of CLI and enjoy my studies so much. My wife is in full-time ministry with me and its the most awesome feeling in the world to work for the Lord, and having the most honest and caring boss! Since we started to rely on Him, we never worked for any salary of a human being, and by the Grace of our Lord, He had been looking after us an providing as promised!
