Meet the MLCP Basic Graduate, Olivia

At just 21, Olivia Arims heard God’s unmistakable call to empower young people with faith, virtues, and life skills. Yet for years, she longed for deeper discipleship, mentoring, and practical tools to live out that assignment fully.

Today, after completing the MLCP Basic Tier, Olivia says her journey has been nothing short of transformative.

Before MLCP

Olivia’s passion for the next generation began when she was a teenager herself. By her late twenties, the call had become clearer — but the tools, mentors, and practical equipping she needed were still missing.

“I’ve always had a calling towards grooming and empowering youths… but I wanted to deepen my knowledge and get refined for what I’ve been called into.”

The Turning Point: Choosing MLCP

When she heard about the Ministry Leadership Certificate Program at The Elevation Church, she didn’t hesitate.

“TEC does everything excellently. As soon as I heard the announcement about MLCP, I knew this was for me. I wanted to drink as much as I could from this well of excellence.”

Inside the Experience

Through MLCP’s courses and facilitators, Olivia discovered wisdom that reshaped her mindset. She especially credits Pastor Kingsley Manuel, Dr. Joy Isa, and Pastor Don for their practical and heartfelt teaching.

What stood out most was seeing leaders who thrive both in the corporate world and in kingdom ministry.

“This challenged me to say — I can also do both effectively.”

After MLCP: Tangible Transformation

Since completing MLCP, Olivia has seen clear changes in her life and ministry:

  • Greater empathy & emotional intelligence
  • Deliberate commitment to evangelism
  • Intentional relationship-building as ministry

 

One of her biggest shifts came in how she listens to people.

“In the past, I could tune off if I thought a conversation was wasting my time. But now, I listen — because that’s a relationship being nurtured, and that’s an opportunity for the Gospel.”

Her MLCP in One Word

Transformative.

Her Message to You:

“There’s no way you won’t get absolute value from MLCP. Thanks, and God bless the PLLI Faculty. This is Ministry!
