CLI is helping him fulfill his ministry dreams!
CLI Student Sampson Agyepong
"Hello, my name is Sampson Lamp Agyepong. I am the 6th of 12 siblings. I was born in a town called Koforidua in the eastern region of Ghana though my root is with the Akuapem and the Greater Accra. I have lived all my life here in Koforidua. with my family. I was born into not too good a family because my father wasn't a believer and my mother was not established in the Christian faith. Because of this, I didn't get the opportunity to experience the Lord Jesus Christ at the early stages in life. Nonetheless, my family found favour in the sight of God as some of my older siblings were converted to Christianity. Through one of them, I also got converted in the year 2003. Since my conversion, I have indeed experienced the best spiritual life ever. My walk with God has grown from glory to glory. I got baptized few years after my conversion to confirm my total submission to the will of God for my life.
After a few years walk with God, I have experienced the call of God on my life. This was confirmed by many anointed men and women of God coupled with the many revelations God gave me in relation to it. God showed me many things He was going to accomplish through me for His Kingdom. But this I believe comes with a high level of training, thus I'm choosing Christian Leaders Institute. If I get this Ministry training, I believe it is going to help me achieve my goals of reaching the lost souls in the hinter lands of my town, bringing them the good news of the salvation of Jesus Christ and imparting in them the knowledge and wisdom I will get from Christian Leaders Institute.
The high rate of tuition in my country with regard to bible school training has hindered me for a very long time. I have prayed to God for an opportunity to have tuition free ministry training. For this reason, I am optimistic that scholarship from Christian Leaders Institute will go a long way to help me realize my dreams of having a quality but free ministry training."
