Read the Inspiring Testimony of this Fellow Christian Leaders Institute Student
CLI Student Sui Atuatasi
"I am a 41 year old Samoan-American, born in California where I spent my early childhood. My family and I moved to American Samoa when I was a teenager. I later moved to Hawaii to go to college. It was there that I received the gift of salvation through Jesus and my goals in life changed as well. I then moved to Arizona where I served in ministry and finally to Texas to help plant a church. I continue to reside in Texas with my wife Jayne. Up until 3 years ago I worked in full time ministry since the year 2000. It was during that time that I served and was mentored under what was primarily the discipleship model as mentioned in Rev. Henry Reyenga's book "Raising Up Revival Leaders". I stepped out of full time ministry 3 years ago to take care of some health issues that prevented me from serving at full capacity as well as to somehow pursue a deeper education in seminary.
I came to receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior in 1996. Before then I reached a point where I felt such misery because my life was filled with sin and emptiness. The Lord saved me from a world of anger, violence, alcohol abuse, sexually immoral behavior and a cold-hearted view towards everything and everyone. My personality traits consisted of extreme insecurity, an unfounded sense of arrogance and an incomparable selfishness. I was the 'wretch' that we sing of in Amazing Grace. Since then I have never stopped thanking Him for that amazing grace and His endless mercy towards me. I know that what I deserve He was punished for and what I did not earn He freely gave to me.
It is out of my gratefulness that I have committed my life to sharing the love of Jesus Christ with as many people as I can. As I mentioned before, I served under a discipleship model, which taught me a work ethic of servanthood, obedience, and diligence. Now I seek the depth of biblical training to not only be better equipped for the work of the Kingdom, but also to be an equipper of the saints myself. While I served in the ministry for over a decade I sought and waited for the specific call of God on my life. After about 12 years I felt the move towards the call of pastoring and teaching. I hope to achieve that goal with a foundation of education and training through CLI and its scholarship offer."
