Church Twinning International, Inc. (CTI) is an ecumenical, international, interfaith, and intercultural outreach ministry. Founded in 1981 by Professor Andrew Crakye Denteh and Rev. Dr. Sidney R. Holston, alongside his late wife, Mrs. Isabelle Daniels Holston, this initiative emerged from the collaborative vision of religious leaders from Georgia (USA) and Ghana (West Africa).
CTI “twins” congregations globally, fostering meaningful connections between diverse communities. This initiative encourages the exchange of communication, evangelism, and cultural experiences, thereby supporting pastors, parishioners, and their respective communities in their spiritual and societal endeavors. Each congregation embodies the Pauline Macedonian experience found in Acts 16:9, which calls for mutual support and assistance, reflected in the phrase, “…come over and help us.”
CTI has established three member organizations: CTI-USA, CTI-Ghana, and CTI-Liberia. Each branch plays a vital role in nurturing local congregations and facilitating international outreach efforts. As CTI prepares to expand into new regions around the world, Rev. Dr. Sidney R. Holston decided to formalize Church Twinning International Global Ministries, Inc. in August 2024. This strategic move aims to enhance CTI’s capacity for outreach, enabling it to forge new partnerships and foster intercultural dialogue on a broader scale. In a world that often feels divided, CTI’s mission emphasizes the importance of unity in diversity, highlighting the transformative power of faith and collaboration. Through its programs, CTI seeks not only to support individual congregations but also to contribute to the broader goal of global peace and understanding, reflecting its commitment to the teachings of love, service, and community upliftment.
Minister Charlene S. Bowden is the President of CTI Global Ministries and has received credentials from Christian Leaders Institute and Christian Leaders Alliance. She holds the following awards and licenses: Licensed Minister, Christian Ministry Award, Basic Christian Ministry Award, Field Minister (Commended), Christian Leaders Connection Award, Christian Wedding Officiant.

We work with churches, networks and denominations to bring together a robust leader formation process with ecclesiastical certification. We offer live mentoring, along with a combination of live courses and online courses (such as CLI) to equip pastors and other ministry leaders within churches. We also coach church planters and offer an array of services to help new church plants launch. Our mentoring program is only a fraction of the cost of seminary, while being more wholistic in its approach.
Please note: WE ARE ONLY CHARTERED TO WORK WITH PARTNERS IN THE UNITED STATES.

“Near to the Brokenhearted: A Journey from Loss to Calling”
I am Charlotte Cross—a wife, mother, and Licensed Minister through Christian Leaders Institute, serving in Fresno, California. I wear many hats for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and each one is stitched with threads of grief, grace, and redemption.
I wish to serve as a minister to those who feel unseen, unheard, and undone by loss. My heart beats for grieving parents , those who carry the ache of children they can no longer hold. I know what it feels like to lose a part of yourself that no one can ever give back. I know the quiet courage it takes to survive each day without their presence.
“My calling to a Soul Center to support and help grieving parents”
Service in my Community
I am a member at Fresno Cornerstone Church and Trinity COGIC.
I also volunteer for Find A Grave due to my own loss I know the importance of having a connection to our dearly departed and I wish to help others in there time need.
Souls Involved 10-20 : I hope to have 10 on the bible study and 20 people in my Condo area i am a HOA member so in Gods timing i have faith i can minister to my neighbors.
To glorify Gods promise “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18 (NIV)
It’s my reminder that God is close to the grieving offering comfort and hope.
This is my calling: to walk with others through the valley, to speak life into broken places, and to remind every grieving parent that God sees, God heals, and God still has a plan.
Eagle’s Wings Soul Center is a Mentor Center led by credentialed minister Dan, dedicated to equipping and empowering fellow believers to answer God’s call through Christian Leaders Institute. Through one-on-one mentorship, group guidance, and Christ-centered encouragement, we help aspiring Christian leaders discover their calling, set goals, and overcome obstacles, so they can soar into all God has prepared for them.
Getting to know me
I am Chantal I.K. Ryder. I have three children of whom two are still living at home. My oldest son, Moses Ryder, is currently serving in the United States Marine Corps as a combat engineer. I am an alumna of the Christian Leaders Alliance and of the Flaming Wings & Swords Academy. I have actively served the Lord since 2014, overseas at first, now, in the US, since 2022. I have offered counseling and have established online ministries serving the bereaved (Grieving Mom-Facebook), and serving people in distressed situations (Eminent Faith Ministries-Facebook and Pastor Chantal Ryder-Tiktok). My ministries have reached over 4.4k people online. I also have written blogs, published articles and a devotional to spread hope (Pr.Chantal I.K. Ryder, Dr.Div.-The Eminent Hope Devotional, Amazon). I’m currently offering pastoral care counseling and life coaching, being specialized in, but not limited to: overcoming trauma, grief and abuse, family counseling, post-divorce counseling, suicide prevention, parent coaching for children of all abilities, and resilience coaching.
My Coming to Christ and Calling to Ministry
In my early childhood years I would attend church regularly, but it wasn’t after a near death experience in recent years that completely changed my walk with Jesus. It was as if I bathed in hope, love and light and ever since I made it my mission to help others and experience God’s goodness as well. I made it my mission to bring hope and healing to everyone, no matter their walk of life.
My most favorite scripture verse this year is: Isaiah Isaiah 50:7
For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
My calling to this Soul Center
My calling to this soul center is inspired by the Christian Leaders Institute. I want to make disciples for Jesus, healing the sick, restoring the broken hearted, and planting seeds of love and hope. God has equipped me with empathy and hospitality. The Christian Leaders Alliance has equipped me with the necessary tools to minister at this fellowship soul center.
Who I Serve
As a volunteer minister, I minister to my community. I’m interested in serving Christians from all walks of life, restoring hope, and making disciples.
My Ministry
I enjoy restoring hope to people who feel lost and distressed. I offer pastoral care counseling & life coaching to everyone who experienced domestic abuse, other forms of abuse and trauma, and to everyone facing depression and other challenges. I enjoy getting together with a small group of people studying scripture and exploring scripture in the context mentioned above.
Souls Involved: over 4.4k
My online ministry has reached over 4.4k souls and my in person fellowship has reached about 7 people, growing continually.
The Faith and Honor Ministry – A Soul Center of Restoration and Purpose
The Faith and Honor Ministry is a Soul Center born from the warrior’s journey—built not from bricks, but from battles. It is a sanctuary for those who have served, those who have struggled, and those seeking spiritual alignment after life-altering experiences. Founded by a veteran, for veterans, this ministry understands that healing doesn’t always begin in a pew—it begins in the soul.
As a Soul Center, The Faith and Honor Ministry reclaims the ancient truth that the church is not a building—it is within you. Here, veterans and their families rediscover their spiritual identity, find emotional refuge, and step into renewed purpose. We serve as a lifeline to those facing PTSD, moral injury, spiritual exhaustion, or identity loss. Through a holistic and faith-rooted model, we minister to the unseen wounds of warriors while reinforcing their innate strength.
We provide trauma-informed, scripture-based support without judgment, without pressure, and without dilution. Whether it’s through private spiritual mentorship, Brotherhood Fire Circles, or veteran-specific devotionals and rites of passage, each encounter is designed to reignite the soul and remind every veteran that their story is not over—it’s just being rewritten.
This Soul Center is built on core values: Faith, Honor, Brotherhood, and Redemption. We do not preach—we walk beside. We do not convert—we awaken. And we do not fix—we fortify.
If you’ve worn the uniform, carried the weight of the world, or feel like the war never really ended inside you—you are home.
At our core, we offer:
Every aspect of our Soul Center—whether events, devotionals, training, or pastoral guidance—reaffirms this truth:
“You are not alone. The battle may have shaped you, but it does not define you.”
We are where faith meets fortitude. Where warriors become whole.

GETTING TO KNOW US:
We are a brother-sister ministry team, James Kirkpatrick and Elizabeth Moses. We were born and raised in Maryland to Christian parents. We are Evangelical Christians that believe the Bible is God’s word. We truly believe that we should love all and help all and that we all have sin.
James Kirkpatrick:
I have always been a Christian, but I never fully understood the meaning of that statement and how powerful of a meaning that actually is until I truly put my full heart into Jesus back in 2017.
I am an Ordained minister and certified life coach from CLA. I am also a certified volunteer Firefighter in Maryland.
My goal is to receive my Associates Degree in Divinity from Christian Leaders College and eventually go for my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. I plan on taking all the classes CLI, CLA, and CLC have to offer. The more I know, the more I can offer and the more I can help. I truly care about helping people and doing God’s work. I also have a dream to teach a class for CLI one day.
I have developed a passion for Christian apologetics, Christian blogging, and Christian philosophy.
I currently have a Christian blog that I share my thoughts.
I am currently working on writing a few Christian books.
Besides my love for The Lord, I enjoy traveling, the beach, camping, my family, friends, and reading anything on history.
Elizabeth Moses:
I grew up in a Christian house, but it wasn’t until recently I realized I wasn’t fully putting my heart into my faith. My brother James Kirkpatrick was the one who inspired me and showed me Christian Leaders Institute. My goal is to earn my diploma from CLI and spread the word. I have a passion for music, art, administrative, helping people, animals, reading, and of course the Lord.
I also enjoy camping, traveling, my family, my friends, my puppy, and holidays.
Our past:
We know how hard this world can be and know how hard it is to deal with mental health issues as we both have battled anxiety, panic disorder, and depression. James also has Psoriatic Arthritis (an autoimmune disease).
We have been through the struggles of having no money, no house, and no food in the past. At one point in life, we were even living in a cheap tent in the woods and trying to catch fish just to have food to survive. But we knew in our heart everything would be okay during all the rough times because we had each other.
We’ve also had some of the greatest adventures together in life from vacations, having our own successful fishing YouTube channel, doing a podcast, we even had a music band together and performed on stage to raise money for charity.
Our Ministry:
We are currently a small house church with Bible studies, but we are working on growing. Our focus is primarily on spreading the gospel and helping people. We believe in loving all and helping all.
We also want to have
We also want to teach some classes on our YouTube channel. We are currently working on filming a course called the Christian way which is focused on how to be a better Christian and how to help others as Christians in different ways.
We plan on sharing CLI, CLA, and CLC with everyone.
Upcoming plans:
We want this ministry to focus on preaching the gospel the way Jesus taught us. Some goals we have for this ministry are to make gift boxes, which will include things like food, personal hygiene kits, gifts, clothes, and a card with a personal prayer from us. It will also include information on the Christian Leaders’ Institute in these boxes to help with education and knowledge of the gospel. We also hope to include a paper in this box with local jobs that are currently hiring and locations of public libraries with computers to use to apply for jobs and to have access to the Christian Leaders Institute. We plan on starting this project this November 2023, with most of the money coming from us and also from us raising money by doing fundraisers. We want this ministry to eventually spread throughout the world.
Souls Involved:
We just started this ministry.
5 year plan:
Eventually, we want to do some ministry work overseas and also want to open a non-denominational church.
Also, we want to open a food kitchen, food center and a homeless shelter.

We provide online and in-person Bible studies and worship services, evangelistic outreach, community outreach, discipleship, prayer ministry, pastoral care, biblical encouragement, officiant ministry, and Christ-centered fellowship through house church gatherings.
