Read the Testimony of This Fellow Christian Leaders Institute Student:
Pacifico almost died when he was 8 when he was severely hit by a car! But God had a plan for his life!
CLI student Pacifico “Jun” M. Mapanao Jr.
"My name is Pacifico Mapanao Jr. a servant of Jesus Christ. I was born in the Phillippines. I currently reside in California, USA. I am married to Dr. Mignon Mapanao, and we have two adult children.
I could have died when I was 8 years old. I was run over by a car. Everybody who witnessed that event thought I was dead because I was even dragged by the car for about 8 to 10 meters but God prevented death. I still have the scars to remind me and I believe there is a reason why.
I was really looking to formalize my learning even considered attending again a traditional school but I was worried about the financial burden since my two boys are not yet done college. God showed me CLI. I would like to thank Pastor Henry Reyenga truly his vision that he is getting into fruition by the grace of God is indeed a blessing to a multitude. The CLI training and CLA ordination are what I have been looking for and will look forward in my ministry future. This is a world-class educational institution by its own merit.
I have been involved in establishing a church in Texas with Pastor Bong Collado from scratch and now the church has grown more than what we have expected, truly an amazing show of the glory of God. Additionally, I do share the vision of CLI and praying to be a part of it in the near future as my Senior Pastor and I are contemplating to establish in our church CLI’s Mentor-Training Center, God willing."
Please pray for Pacifico and his ministry work!
If you are a Vision Partner, we thank you! Your donation is making free ministry training possible for students like Pacifico!
