Get Licensed as a Minister: Kevin Fuentes’ Journey

Hello, my name is Kevin Fuentes, and my journey to faith has been a testament to God’s relentless grace. My father came to Christ years before I did and often invited me to his church. Despite his persistence, I rarely attended. He would remind me to seek God, but the truth was, I didn’t want anything to do with Him. Growing up, I knew religion, but I didn’t know God, and I resisted anything that felt religious.

One day, out of curiosity, I decided to buy a Bible. Little did I know that this simple act would change my life forever. As I began reading, I developed a thirst for the Word of God. The Lord started manifesting His presence in my life in extraordinary ways, and it became clear that He was calling me. Soon after, I was baptized, gave my life to Christ, and have been faithfully serving Him ever since.


Why I’m Pursuing a Minister’s License

Becoming a licensed minister will open countless doors for me to serve in ministry. This credential will provide opportunities to engage with my community, participate in missionary work, and connect with people beyond the walls of the church.

I am pursuing this license for several reasons. First, it will allow me to serve others effectively while building credibility as a minister. Over the years, I have been devoted to studying, living, preaching, and teaching the Word of God. Now, I want to take the next step by obtaining official recognition.

With this license, I hope to minister in places like retirement homes, jails, hospitals, and other areas where the need for the Gospel is great. Many pastors are busy with the day-to-day responsibilities of leading their congregations, leaving gaps in outreach to these underserved places. I feel called to fill those gaps, bringing the love and hope of Christ to those who need it most.

This program has inspired me to pursue additional training to become qualified to serve others at a deeper level. I’m also aiming to become ordained and work as a chaplain through the Christian Leaders Institute (CLI). The courses and programs offered by CLI provide a variety of options, and I’m excited to explore the opportunities available.


The Blessing of Ministry Training

Ministry training is an essential component of my journey. The classes at CLI have given me the knowledge and skills necessary to serve effectively in my congregation and community while also deepening my own faith and understanding of the Bible.

What makes CLI so special is the flexibility it offers. I can continue working my current job while completing my training and classes on my own time. This free, high-quality training has already transformed my life by equipping me with practical tools to share and teach the Gospel more effectively.


Grateful for the Opportunity

I am deeply thankful for the opportunities provided by Christian Leaders Institute. This program has been a blessing, and I pray that CLI continues to grow and bless others on their individual journeys.

To anyone considering becoming a licensed minister, know that it’s a calling that requires dedication, study, and a heart for service. The flexibility and resources at CLI make it possible for people like me to answer this call.

Thank you, and may God bless CLI and everyone pursuing their own ministry path.


If you’re ready to take the next step in your ministry journey, consider pursuing a license as a minister through Christian Leaders Institute. It’s a life-changing opportunity to grow in faith and serve others with excelle
