Read the amazing testimony of this fellow Christian Leaders Institute student:
CLI student Nicole Kendrick
"Hello, my name is Nicole Kendrick, and I have a minister training dream. I am 23 years old, a wife and mother of one. I am from a small town in Arkansas in the USA.
As a teenager and after my parent's divorce, I withdrew from faith and the church. It wasn't really until I had my son, a child I was told I would more than likely never have, that I started to regain my faith. Each day it grows more and more.
Recently, I found a home in a new church, that is very supportive of my call to pursue ministry. I was baptized anew and connected to a family that I look forward to seeing every week. It makes me feel loved and supported in my dreams.The free ministry training at CLI is essential to me. As a mom and wife, it is hard to find time for college. CLI has given me the time and flexibility I need to finish a program where I feel confident with what I learn. It has opened a door of opportunity and allowed me to afford a high-quality education. CLI gives me a boost in my leadership skills, not only as a Christian but as a mother and wife as well."
Please pray for Nicole!
