I certainly commend you on the fine work you are doing, and I fully support it. I think you’re doing more for youth than anyone else in America. That’s my opinion of your work, and I’ll continue to contribute to CTO as long as I have the means to do so.

Every time I go on a CTO outing I learn a little bit more about God and a little bit more about myself. CTO has helped me find God and to become a better person.

WOW! I really have to thank you and the other Outfitters. What a blessing you all have been to Austin and to us. There have been numerous little changes in his demeanor, the way he carries himself and his actions.
He shared with us his experience over the weekend and in the end we were in tears and thanking God that he was able to participate and come away with such an experience. He now opens up and shares with us more than ever, and he does things around the house with us only having to ask once, some things he does of his own volition.
He has taken a much keener interest in his Bible and getting to know Christ in a much more personal way.
He has expressed much interest in the next outing (he even said he didn't care what it was just as long as it was with CTO) and he is excited about your summer camps.
Again thank you all so much and I look forward to future opportunities for Austin and myself

Thank you Mr. Arnold for everything you have done for me and taught me. You and Greg both have been huge leaders and mentors in my life. Y’all have taught me many things about hunting and my spiritual walk with God. Thank you for being there.

We are grateful to God for using CTO to accomplish His purpose in Taylor’s life. He has been impacted mightily for Christ by the men he serves under and the young men he in turn has the opportunity to serve. This ministry is bearing fruit in our son’s life that will last into eternity. CTO also gives Taylor the opportunity to pursue something he is passionate about and have a lot of fun in the process.

I wanted to send a note to thank the CTO group for all that it has done, we are very blessed to have found them.
Two years ago, my son experienced two devastating events. His beloved grandmother was called to heaven and his father stopped all visitations, for reasons unknown to date. During this time my son struggled to understand these things, but through it all stayed the course. Losing his grandmother was one thing, but Dalton lost his relationship with the only father he knows, and any male role model.
I am a single mother and work diligently to provide for my family. Many events are out of our reach financially for Dalton, but through Dr. Dale Wood, we found CTO.
Dalton, through scholarships, was able to attend two hunting sessions with Greg and the group. As a mother, I cannot tell you how these trips spiritually and emotionally lifted my son up. To have time with Christian men to express himself and see how GOD expects Christian men to be, really hits home with Dalton to encourage him. This group is a GOD send.

You and your CTO team have had a deep impact on both me and my son. Not only have you provided two hunting experiences that I could not have ever delivered, but Jeremy has had significant God encounters on both trips.
He’ll never forget God providing a ram — a perfect ram — on his First Hunt, right after we had read Gen. 22:13-14. Only through CTO could you end up in a blind that has a Bible in it!
Mike, this past weekend allowed Jeremy and me to grow closer — as we skinned our deer together!
More than that, you and the other men have helped Jeremy take a step closer to manhood — a God-centered manhood. He is more confident and has a clearer sense of his identity than before.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart. May God richly bless you and your team for your sacrifices and service.

I want you to know this camp has really put Austin in a whole new frame of mind regarding Christ and living life in the Christian way. I am soooo excited for him and SOOOOO thankful to all of you who came together to do this.
All he has talked about since he got home was getting baptized and changing his attitude.
As a single mom I have had many struggles with him and his ADHD, also in getting him to go to church and not complain. He can't wait now and ya'll may never know just what a difference you have made. Thanks again.
