Endorsement Status means that someone who knows you has recommended you for ministry. You do not tell the world, "Look at me! I AM A MINISTER BY MY OWN OPINION ONLY!"  Instead, you invite others to agree with you that you have a walk with God and ministry call evidence in your life. 

Being endorsed makes completing courses and programs at Christian Leaders Institute, Christian Leaders Alliance, and Christian Leaders College more credible. The early church commended leaders. Here are some examples: 

Barnabas commended the Apostle Paul

Acts 9:27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus.

The Apostle Paul commended Phoebe as a Deacon Minister who carried the letter to the Roman Church.

Romans 16:1-2    I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servant of the church in Cenchrea. I ask you to receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been a great help to many people, including me.


How Does this Endorsement Status Work? 

First, you must complete Part 1 of this course or any of the past gettings started classes or activities. 
Second, you must enroll in the Endorsement Status Course. The Endorsement Status Course will stay active in your profile. This course has three assignments. Each assignment is an endorsement you gather. 

Endorsement 1
The first endorsement will be from a Christian friend, your spouse, or a church leader. 

Endorsement 2
This endorsement will need to be from your spouse, another Christian friend, or church leader. If your employer is a Christian leader and has observed your calling and skills for ministry, they can commend you. This endorsement must be from someone different from the first one. You must use a second, unique endorser. 

Endorsement 3
This endorsement must be from a Christian leader: a church leader such as a pastor, mentor, local deacon, or elder. This final endorser must be different from the first and second. You must use a third, unique endorser.
