HOW WAS YOUR SUMMER?

unique and good relationships. I Learned how to be a leader and how to serve God by helping others.”

“The Catalyst for the destruction of the life and series of beliefs I either created or accepted from the world. This summer has honestly been life changing, God has rocked my world. Thank you CTCI for facilitating that.”
Nick Martelli

“This summer has been healing for me, even if I was injured for half of it, it was healing for my heart. It was an escape, but it was a revelation that running from everything doesn’t always help. So I’m thankful for everything and everyone who has unknowingly soothed my hurts.”

Abraham McCauley
Northern Ireland
“At CTCI, I have found so much freedom to be myself but also so much freedom to change. It is a place of high standards but also boundless grace. I have learned to trust God as well the people he places in my life. I have learned to live life to the fullest fearing failure and disappointment. CTCI life has been a game changer for me!”
Abigail Tarbutton

“The INN has been so pivotal in my Christian walk, it has shaken me out of my complacency and taught me to be enthusiastic in my walk with the Lord.”
Angela McCauley
Northern Ireland
“CTCI meant learning to just be — that is, accepting the call that God has placed on my life and embracing the woman that he has made me to be while resting in the promise that He is willing and faithful to fulfill every work that He has begun in me. So it seems it has meant a lot. : )”
Dyese Elliott

“CTCI has changed my life entirely. My time here has been vital to my walk with the Lord. Being here has taught me how to walk in freedom, and where my identity truly lies.”
Emily Torres
Georgia
“This was God’s time for me to be here and now I have so many experiences. Doing things with joy, serving others, team work, having a love to read God’s word, sharing with others what God has done in me, having the chance to know so many great people and family in Christ. God changes my shame into glory and my rejection into acceptance. I’m no longer the shy Laura that came, I’m a new person. Thank you CTCI and all the staff.”
Laura Baez
Dominican Republic
“Jesus did not die for me so that I could go through life simply to try and stay out of hell. I am to look to heaven, to serve the kingdom, challenge myself spiritually, and to bring Glory to God in ALL of it. I am the daughter of the Lion, and I am also a lion.”
Tate Cook

“Good…Great!”
