Ordained Officiant Minister: A Feature Story from the Field
Brian Singoyi, a passionate minister from Africa, shared his powerful testimony about the impact of becoming an Ordained Officiant Minister through CLI and CLA:
“It is an honor and wonderful privilege to be part of this journey with the Lord. Being ordained as an Officiant Minister is timely—it has always been part of my calling to bless couples as they begin their life in Holy Matrimony.”
Brian felt deeply called to be a prophetic voice in declaring God’s purpose over marriages:
“This ordination helps me declare that unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.”
The ordination opened new doors for Brian’s ministry:
“This opportunity has taken me into many homes. Young people now feel confident seeking God’s blessing through my ministry. I can now officiate weddings and funerals as a recognized minister—both legally and spiritually.”
Supported by his local church for over 24 years, Brian has grown in ministry before their eyes:
“They’ve seen me grow from a young man into a mature servant of Christ. It’s been a journey of faith and grace.”
Beyond officiating, Brian serves as a missionary in his country, reaching the most vulnerable:
“We minister to orphans, widows, and those from broken homes through feeding, education, and health initiatives. But more than that—we disciple them with the goal that they grow to be faithful, Christ-centered adults.”
His ministry focuses on spiritual transformation:
“We want children to understand they are not defined by being orphans or fatherless. Their identity is in Christ, who is the Father of the fatherless.”
The CLI training has been life-changing:
“This isn’t ‘cheap’ because it’s free—it’s profound. It sharpened my understanding and responsibilities as a clergy member. It’s above denominational doctrine, rooted deeply in scripture.”
Brian’s personal and family life have also been strengthened:
“My marriage will never be the same. As a father, I now feel equipped to raise my children in the Word. This training has brought deep revelation.”
He asked for prayer in several areas:
That his ministry to children would grow in God’s way.
For continued focus and dedication for his family.
For his son Jackson, who leads youth work in the community.
For his wife Barbara in her women’s and child evangelism ministry.
For land and resources for a new agricultural discipleship center.
“We trust God to open doors so we can train youth in life skills while discipling them through agriculture.”
