Transition of a CLU Staff Member

Mark Virkler's picture

We are sad to see Dr. Karen King leave our CLU staff after 11 years of blessing our students with her service. However, we rejoice with her over the new season the Lord is bringing her into! Karen has started a church in Ohio, and as it has continued to flourish her pastoral responsibilities have become more demanding, making it difficult for her to continue on as a CLU instructor.


Karen has been our primary instructor for the graduate level Christian Leadership University students, and we consistently received wonderful reports from students who loved her and felt their lives were radically transformed by the CLU courses they took with her.

Student Testimonies Concerning Dr. Karen King

I would like to take this opportunity to send a special letter of thanks and appreciation for Dr. Karen King. This semester has been particularly challenging for me... Dr. King has been very supportive and patient with me, always sending words of encouragement and inspiration. Her compassion and discernment is truly an amazing gift. I can clearly see the Spirit at work through Dr. King as she was able to pray directly over my situation as she interceded for me without my having influenced her prayers in any way. She spoke specifically to the mountains tormenting me and has ignited within me a new resolve to overcome the enemy and to live in victory through Jesus Christ.

As a representative of Christian Leadership University, Dr. King has gone above and beyond the call of duty. She has demonstrated true Christian character, spiritual courage and insight, and has exemplified remarkable leadership skills in her ability to educate, inspire, encourage, direct and support me. She has inspired me to become more attuned with the Spirit and more vigilant in exercising my spiritual authority and dominion over the enemy. She has sown many wonderful spiritual seeds in my life and I will be forever grateful for her prayers and genuine concern for me. Dr. King has touched my life in more ways than she can imagine. She is a pillar of strength and has been an Angel of Mercy on so many occasions. She has strengthened me during my times of weakness and has inspired hope within me to overcome my challenges by faith. 

Please extend my gratitude and appreciation to Dr. Karen King. She is truly an amazing gift to the body of Christ and to Christian Leadership University.

Blessings Always,

Kimberly D. Lewis


I would like to appreciate Dr. Karen King, she is a very good professor.  She has my assignments and exams graded and returned in the shortest time possible. This helps me stay focused and I then know if I am doing the wrong thing.  I have taken a number of online classes and sometimes I never heard back from the professors after asking a question.  She stands out and I am very impressed with the way she works.  She is a servant leader and a good example.  I just wanted to give praise where it is due.

God bless you,

Besa Katebe


I had Dr. King as my instructor and I wanted to take this moment to appreciate her enthusiasm and her ability to motivate her students. I know so much of her effort can go unnoticed by others, but I want you to know that I do notice her willingness to do above and beyond that which she is called to do.

Thank you again, and I truly appreciate CLU and Dr. Karen King.

Sincerely,

Vera Orok


Our Farewell to Karen: We have appreciated all your work with CLU students for many, many years, and we believe you have had a very positive impact on hundreds of lives. We believe this has been a very fruitful period of your life as you have invested yourself in the growth of others in the body of Christ. We pray God's richest blessings on you in the work God has set before you. We are thankful that your life has touched ours!


Karen’s Goodbye: Thanks, Mark, I appreciate this and your blessing very, very much!  CLU changed my life and I have loved seeing how it has changed many others and pray it will continue to do so. May God bless it more than it has ever been blessed! The message is pure and needed!

Thank you for your many anointed writings and all the time you have invested into CLU! I pray God's outrageous blessings upon you, Patti, and the staff!

To help this transition, I will finish out the students I am working with. May God abundantly bless you!

A New Book Coming Out “. . . But God! “  By Rev. Dr. Karen Joy King

“Life isn’t about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!” —Beth Moore

Karen King shares inspirational real-life stories about God “dancing with us.” There is no such thing as mere luck, for God is constantly with us and cares about us. Sometimes we can see His hand very clearly. Sometimes it may not be recognized until later, when we look back and fully realize, Oh yeah, that certainly was God, (a “… but God” moment)!

May these short stories bless, encourage, and enable you to recognize when God has protected, provided, or helped you.

Please share your comments with Karen King at: drkaren7@yahoo.com.

“… But God!” is an inspirational book that will help you see God in your everyday events.

FORMAT: Softcover, 276 pages, 5” x 8”        Price:  $19.95

. . . But God!” can be located on the internet by typing “. . . But God!” by Rev. Dr. Karen Joy King in the search line.  It is being sold by a number of websites, or it can be ordered directly from Dr. Karen Joy King, POB 41, Fayette, OH 43521


Karen King is a Christian Leadership University professor; pastors New Beginnings Ministries of Fayette, Ohio; is active in her community; and enjoys many interests. Since 2010, Karen has been collecting “But God” stories and wants to share them. Karen lives with her Chihuahua, Buddy Boy Alexander King.


“Stories that touch the heart. These short stories are perfect because you can read them in a jiffy yet be blessed and encouraged. These inspirational stories of people’s encounters with God and the transformations He worked in their lives will bring tears of joy and put a spring in your step for the day. This book can be read straight through; or it could be used as a devotional and read a story each morning for inspiration to start the day. Try it. You will be blessed!

Dr. Karen King was the best teacher I had in life and exemplified the love of Christ that was within her. I feel that she will be an incredible loss to CLU and am glad that she is a Pastor and that God will definitely bless in her ministry in that church for Pastoring is the first calling. I am glad she thrived and that I had a chance to learn from her. I learned so much for her, not just from her courses but from her as a person. She genuinely cared about her students, which is not true about all teachers. She instilled grace in me and even helped to conduct a private graduation ceremony for me when I received my doctorate and masters degree from CLU!

Divine Healing Toolbox CD/DVD Set

by Mark Virkler | 1 CD, 1 DVD

Jesus healed all who asked Him and our goal is to be like Him! He commissioned His disciples saying, "Heal those...who are sick, and say to them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you'" (Lk. 10:9).

We begin with the assumption that we agree that it is God’s will to heal. Having prayed for healing for people for years, Mark has seen many wonderful miracles and also seen times when it appeared that very little happened. This short teaching describes some practical steps he has learned which make his prayers for healing more effective.

Fulfill Your Financial Destiny DVDs

Fulfill Your Financial Destiny DVDs

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 22 Video Sessions

Newly recorded for 2023! Though the economic system (mammon) of this world is under a curse, we have received instructions for how to move out from that dominion and into the blessing of the Kingdom of God. God’s promises to His children have not changed with the whims of government or Wall Street, nor have His directions for how to walk in those promises. We can “choose not to participate” in the economic recession that is around us if we instead choose to obey the logos and rhema of the Lord and enjoy the blessings that result.

How Do YOU Know? DVDs

by Mark Virkler | 12 Sessions

How do you know? What is the process you use to discover truth? I did not ask that question during the first 25 years of my life. I used eleven different methods for discovering truth including: if my parents said so, then it was so. If my teacher said it was so, then it was so. If my pastor said it was so, then it was so. If my theology said it was so, then it was so. I have discarded them all and adopted a twelfth method, which is in harmony with what the Bible teaches. We teach you this method in this series.

How to Speak in Tongues CD/DVD Set

How to Speak in Tongues CD/DVD Set

by Mark Virkler | 1 CD, 1 DVD | Produced 2010

Speaking in tongues involves a miracle wherein you yield your vocal cords to the flow of the Holy Spirit, trusting that God is forming the syllables you speak into a language. It may be a language of men or of angels (1 Cor. 13:1). You choose to speak (Acts 2:4) but you choose not to form the syllables consciously, and instead let the Spirit give the utterance (Acts:2:4).

How to Walk by the Spirit DVDs

How to Walk by the Spirit DVDs

by Mark Virkler | 6 Discs

Are you like many western Christians who have been taught little about how to sense their spirits? Do you have trouble even defining what spirit sensations feel like within you, much less recognizing them? This training was birthed from Mark’s passion to live out of his spirit, and thus release the anointing of God. The problem he faced was lack of clear biblical definition as to what his spirit felt like. So Mark looked up every verse in the Bible on heart and spirit.
