Church Leader Insights (CLI) is an organization, founded by Nelson Searcy, that provides training and resources to pastors and church leaders. A pioneer in using the internet to equip pastors, Searcy's CLI Newsletter (formerly known as Evangelism Online) is distributed to more than 46,000 pastors each month. To date, CLI has trained more than a thousand church leaders--of all sizes, denominations, and backgrounds--through its seminars.

Newsletter
The CLI Newsletter began back in 1995, as Evangelism Online. Regular distribution of resources and training materials to church leaders has been around since the early church. However, Searcy's use of e-mail as the delivery mechanism was innovative and well-received, as evidenced by his 46,000 person subscriber list by 2008.
While its purpose is the same--to equip pastors and church leaders--the current CLI Newsletter has expanded beyond the topic of evangelism. Today's CLI Newsletter is a free, bi-weekly email publication that focuses on effective church leadership, church growth, church planting, and evangelism. It is currently distributed to more than 46,000 pastors each month.
