    CLI Student Diane Alford

    "Hello, My name is Diane Alford of California. I am a fellow believer in Christ Jesus raised in a Pentecostal church. I accepted the Lord as my savior at the age of 12 years old admittedly I have made many missteps along the way. It has been in my failures that the love of God through Christ has been so apparent to me. Although I have felt the call of God on my life from a child, the enemy has used my failures and the abuses in my life to make me feel disqualified from being used by God in a real way. I never left the physical church however, right within the wall at times I have been MIA often asking God to heal me of my pain.

    I am the mother of four beautiful children who God help me to raise in church and who love the ministry. They have witnessed my service within the church all their lives, serving as Praise and Worship Leader and Sunday School Teacher for many years. What they didn't see was the enormous amount of self doubt that loomed within me although I heard the Holy Spirit call me to ministry. 

    For the past 8 years God has been realigning me to his purpose and will for my life, to a higher calling outside the walls of the building. He reignited a desire in me to reach the lost for Christ. In an effort to educate myself in service, I completed my Bachelors in Christ Ministries in 2017 followed by a Masters in Organizational Leadership. As I prayed about what to do next I realized that there is a need for specific training such as that of Women's Ministry and Life Coaching as God has opened a door to coach at this time. With a desire to return to school without the funds, the Lord allowed me to see Christian Leader Institute as I googled the topic of Christian Ethics, Thank You Lord.

    I'm excited about the courses that are available on my path to expanding my skills in services and pursuit of a Masters in Divinity."

    Please pray for Diane and her ministry!
