TESTIMONIALS

The ministry of CTO has touched the lives of our family in many ways.  I remember from the moment I was first approached to be a supporter of CTO and learned what the mission of the organization is and the Lord immediately prompted me to get involved and I agreed to support the ministry as the Lord provided.  Little did I know that the humble gift would turn around to be such a major blessing for our two sons and our family.  My sons and I have been inspired by the Christ centered mentorship we have received from both the chapter outfitter guides and the apprentice guides.  We have all gained friends and had opportunities to encourage other young men and boys in their walk with the Lord.  The very first outing I went on as an assistant guide I watched the intentional mentorship between the outfitters, the assistant and apprentice guides and the boys at the young bucks camp and witnessed God pour out His Holy Spirit.  It has been a true honor and privilege to be involved with CTO.  Little did I know what God was doing behind the scenes using these connections to direct the path of my son's lives as they strive to serve God and influence others for the cause of Christ while guiding the next generation to Christ through the outdoors.

 We signed up our son as a preteen after losing so much time and attention to video games. We were looking for something that would draw him closer to God and help him grow into manhood without culture dragging him away. Jack with CTO Springfield has been a huge blessing to us and to him. He now loves hunting, fishing and everything outdoors! He has additional Godly role models and we've seen a huge improvement in his attitude in general. As now a teenager, we've seen him read his Bible on his own, sell his video game system and even grow to enjoy watching all Phil Robertson sermons from duck dynasty. Definitely a positive and authentic group for young men and we would recommend to anyone with a young man child in their lives.

Our son Landon has been blessed to be part of CTO programs for over 2 years at this time.  His first opportunity was to attend a summer camp (most of the fees for the camp were paid by a CTO scholarship) at this camp, Landon made a personal and life change, he committed himself to God and was baptized at camp.  It was so amazing to get this call and to be able to drive down to camp on the last day to see the baptism occur.  Since that time, Landon has been able to attend many day outings, weekend outings, sportsmen’s night and helping volunteer with CTO.  The excitement I see from Landon whenever preparing for a CTO event is different; he is energized, determined and feels pride in what he is doing.  He has built great relationships with the men he gets to spend time with on these trips.  Landon would not be having these opportunities to enjoy the outdoors without CTO.  Landon got his first deer this year, and he has been excited to eat and share the meat and you can see his pride whenever he tells people he was the reason we have the meat this year.  We look forward to seeing Landon grow through CTO with his vision to be able to be a youth leaders as he gets older to lead younger kids through their CTO experiences.
