John Grove lives in Florida working in ministry. He is ordained as a Deacon Minister in 2018 with the CLA.
Read John Grove's testimony below:
"I was born and raised in Baltic, Ohio, where my mom and Grandmother were the spiritual influences in my life. My mom took my siblings and I to church and by the time I was in the fourth grade I had seen two churches go through horrible splits. This caused me to become angry and confused sending me to find answers on my own. I went down the wrong path and I eventually got heavily involved in the occult.
After high school I joined the Navy, I served four years as a gas turbine mechanical technician. After my honorable discharge, I returned to Baltic and became a reiki master. My beliefs at that time would line up with what we now identify as "New Age".
I was introduced to a new pastor in the area who had come to Baltic from Alaska to fill the call at a local church. Larry Smithwick is an expository preacher, which was new to me at the time. He managed to lovingly expose the errors in my thinking by showing me scripture, not just telling me his opinions. Over the next five years Larry, and his wife Shari, chose to invest into the lives of me and my wife, Tanya. I am certain that the discipleship was the missing link for me as a child which allowed me to drift so far from the Truth of GOD.
I now have a burning desire to disciple those who want to know GOD for themselves. I am willing to pour my life into those that want to go that extra mile, just the same as Larry did for me.
Because God used Larry to disciple me I am now the congregational pastor at Living Hope Community Church in Ocala, FL. We have the same passion to make disciples who make disciples and this is why we are partnering with Christian Leaders Alliance in becoming a mentor center.
A passion is to share the Lord and raise up revival leaders in Pennsylvania to share the gospel and bring more to know Jesus Christ.
Even though I grew up in the inner city, lived through all the social issues of the 70’s, pain of losing moms when I was a child, and all the bad choices I made as a child, teenager, and young adult, I still had a praise and love of God inside of me.
I felt as though the Spirit of God would never leave me alone. In my good days and bad days, the Spirit of God kept me. In the back of my mind growing up I sense this but now, I know it was the grace of God that kept me and help make it this far. Even though my life was a mess, God gave me His best my sweet LORD and Savior Jesus Christ and growing up I would repent and turn to the LORD in times of trouble, but now, I have dedicated my whole life to God. I have been serving God in leadership ministry for over 12 years. From being ordained as a Deacon, in 2007 to licensed minister in 2016.
In my later years as a Deacon, my wife suggested I try a local bible school. But as I said, I didn’t think I was much on education and besides I attended bible studies in the church I read the bible. I know what it says. As you can see it took some convincing from my wife and her joining me, I finally said ok. We attended a local well-known school called “Harty Bible School” for four years. Upon graduating from Harty Bible School with the help of my wife, my craving for a closer walk with God just increased. I looked into other schools of higher learning, but they were way out of my price range. At this stage in my life, I felt discouraged but as the Spirit of God always shows up in my life, He did it again. With a nudge from the Spirit of God, I took to the internet, thinking, maybe there is online training. And by the grace of God, I found CLI. Thank you, LORD, thank you, Lord. Since 2016 I’ve been blessed by the awesome training at CLI. From getting started, Christian leaders’ connections, ministry 101, old and new testament survey, Pastoral care and marriage, church history, hermeneutics and exegesis, peace smart relationships 101, Christian apologetics, women’s ministry, theology 1 and 2, licensed wedding officiant, associate minister ordination, along with a host of other training. By the grace of God and His leadership, I have a total of 91 credit hours and a GPA of 3.22. that’s amazing for me, I guy who never thought he could ever learn much. CLI is such a God sent in my life. And the instructors are knowledgeable and easy to understand. I love CLI and everyone involved. I’m a vision partner now and plan to increase my giving as God continues to bless me. I am all in at CLI and the revolution of free biblical training.

Joseph spent 30 years researching various false religions, reading books such as the Writings of Buddha, the Koran, The Baghadat Gita, and others, before he had his very own "Road to Damascus" experience, and unconditionally gave himself exclusively (with all of his heart, his mind, and his strength) to Christ, recognizing Jesus as "The Way, the Truth, and the Life." Not just 'a way', but 'The Way'.
Read Joesph's Testimony in His words
I came to know God through my family, our attendance at Church, and by attending Christian school from Kindergarten to Grade 12. However, I did not truly realize my walk with God until late in life. This was inspired by a culmination of life experiences both good and bad.
One day, while struggling with a very unfortunate human event, I gave myself unconditionally and fully to Christ. Immediately, I was given the strength and wisdom to persevere and overcome. I realized that prior to that moment, I enjoyed knowing that Christ was there, but I had neglected my faith and had made God the least of my daily priorities.
As I think of my future ministry, the word that comes to mind is a pastor. I believe that my attributes, experience, and passions, will serve Christ best in this role. I am enthusiastic and fulfilled at the very thought. In terms of key experiences that prompted me to pursue my ministry studies, I cannot name only one. It was a culmination of experiences, and in hindsight, I recognize how over the course of my entire life, God has been preparing me.
I recognize how over the course of my entire life, God has been preparing me.
Connecting to the Bible has transformed me by validating for me all that I had believed previously, but had taken for granted. I had diluted my faith placing God as a fixture on the periphery of my daily existence, but I had not recognized and realized that he was always there front and center. Connecting to the Bible has made me realize this.
Joseph is willing to help and serve other CLI students!

Read her testimony in her own words
My name is Judith Matty and I was born and raised in the UK.
I was born again in 1991 to a very mixed and diverse non-denominational Church. Given my introduction to God was as a Catholic and delighted to discover through my born again experience, a real God with an extraordinary love for me and mankind. Also, the knowledge of a great inheritance received through my Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord has become my personal friend and it is really very exciting. Today God is growing ever more real, relevant and very much active by his Holy Spirit in my life.
The Call:
"My Christian journey has been wonderful, not without deep sorrows but truly great joys!"
My Christian journey has been wonderful, not without deep sorrows but truly great joys! I began with prison ministry and worship music for ministry orientation.. I quickly found worship music was my greatest passion. However, I am equally zealous for outreach evangelism preaching and teaching of the Word. I am told there are so many more gifts yet to unfold!
Presently, I am now seeking a full-time ministry engagement, and a couple of doors have opened which is being investigated. My credentials will give me more credence and certainly the confidence I need to move forward in this. I have the advantage of a wonderful Mentor Minister at CLA who has personally gone ahead and sought doors of opportunities for me and helps immensely to steer me in the right direction and hold my course .. Transpired to date is I am co-opted onto the CLA UK Council. I will shortly be joining the Mentor Minister directory.
Commission:
"I am sincerely looking forward to supporting UK students."
I have a renewed and revived excitement about my future prospects in ministry I already see the seeds planted with regards to missions. I am looking forward to what this new season will bring and very grateful to be a part of seeking and raising revival leaders all over the world.
I would ask you for continued prayers for clarity of vision and for Gods grace and provision to go ahead of me and that my ministry calling may impact and wake up nations to the knowledge of our soon coming King!

To raise up Christian Leaders in Rwanda to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.
My name is Ananias Karamuka from born Rwanda in 1988, I am the third born of 4 children. My parents were of Christian faith and made me baptized young but before I knew good or bad they all passed away; Father in 1992 and Mother in 1994. After they have gone, I was tested in various ways but God remained always on my side. Temptations came while young but the Spirit of God helped me to pass through them as a warrior through Jesus whom I didn't know much about Him.
When I went for secondary school, God helped me to mobilize other students to start a Christian choir at our school and I was their leader from there and even in university, I was a church leader. I did my studies and graduated in 2014 from Veterinary Medicine at the University of Rwanda. During my studying journey, I was a school church leader wherever being in secondary and university levels. After my graduation, I was nominated to help our home parish pastor at a certain local church as a leader. Today I am an Anglican church's ordained pastor. I was ordained on 17th December 2017 as a Deacon minister with Christian Leaders Alliance and on 16/12/2018 as senior pastor
Kate spiritual dream is to help those that the world forgets about, the people who are lost in a vicious circle of offending crimes and those who have suffered from abuse.
Kate could have easily been crushed by her childhood. At the age of two, her parents divorced. Her mother married poorly twice in her childhood. She was a victim of sexual abuse and had little respect for herself. She entered into destructive relationships that would lead to her drinking and taking drugs to blot out her reality and escape the pain and shame she was feeling from the past childhood experiences. By age 19, she was a single mom with two children.
God showed up in her life as she began to help domestic violence victims, sex trafficking victims and people with a whole host of fears from writing their own books to rising their self-awareness.
After having so many success stories, Kate invited people to share their stories in a published book and launched it out to the world. The book became a #1 international bestseller and 17 more books followed by co-authoring and solo authoring my her own books.
In 2017, Kate found Christian Leaders Institute and began classes. She has been ordained as a deacon minister. She is called to mentor others on a ministry path.
