Personalized Seminars/Webinars for your Group

We can provide a personalized webinar for your group of six or more people on a specific topic at your request. By utilizing a computer projector or a large screen TV, specific webinars or training seminars can be provided for your group as a live video conference . Training on a specific issue, any of the CTD Classes or any of the existing webinars can be presented. Contact Randy to set up your specialized video conference training.



Specialized Training For Leaders

A specialized approach has been developed and field tested to equip key leaders who desire to implement personal intimate discipling within their church or ministry. The purpose of this specialized discipling process is to "train the trainers" who in turn reproduce biblical discipleship in others. It is crucial to experience the CTO process first hand before you can pass it on to others.

Each leader is personally discipled through a "fast track" which provides the exposure and experience necessary to understand the CTO approach thoroughly enough to effectively disciple another person. Once the first phase of the twelve-session training is completed, the leader is launched into their first discipling relationship. Ongoing support is provided through a personal coach who provides ongoing training through this initial discipling experience. Click here to contact Randy for more info on "Fast Track."

New Translations

Joshua & Missy Saune have requested a translation of CTO
into Quechua, the language spoken in the nation of Peru. He is involved with a number of other nations and is in need of translations into their languages as well. They recently held a Marriage Conference for Pastors and their wifes using many of the CTO principles on marriage, forgiveness, etc. Tom and Dennie have visited this area in Peru and would love to return to these precious people!!








Funding has recently been provided to begin a translation into Hausa which will be used by Umar Ado who is energetically discipling pastors and their wives with CTO all over Nigeria. Read more about Umar's Conversion.










The German translation work continues in Munich headed up by Jeff Hands. They currently have Essentials of the Faith, Setting Your Marriage on a Biblical Course and the first 5 Studies from the CTO Manual. The teaching on Forgiveness has been very impactful for the believers in Jeff's church in Munich.

























Part One of the Main CTO Manual is complete in Spanish.

New Ministries

God has opened a new door of opportunity for CTO to explore partnering with a couple of different prison ministries. In July, Randy spent two days at Hardee Correctional Center in Florida, training Jason Kent, who has been sentenced to life in prison. God is using Jason in a significant way discipling other inmates with the truths of God’s Word. Both Jason and his parents, Gene and Carol Kent have seen God’s grace in amazing ways in the midst of their unthinkable circumstances, which Carol has shared in three different books. Tom and Dennie recently visited Jason and his parents and discussed how we can serve other families who find themselves in a similar situation. More coming on this opportunity in the near future. Also, see Carol Kent on YouTube.

God has also connected CTO with Alongside Ministries in Phoenix, which works with those both incarcerated and those in their resident facilities helping them become grounded in their relationship with Christ while giving them the life skills necessary to “reenter” society. We are excited about helping this group of people who, for various reasons, are at a hard place in life.

We continue to partner with different churches in helping them establishing both discipling and counseling ministries within their church contexts. We are also in dialogue with a number of ministry organizations who share our values and vision of seeing lives transformed through personal discipleship with discussion about how we could partner together to advance the kingdom.

New Resources

Called to Disciple is in final stages of being updated and reformatted to be more user friendly. We have added a Discipler’s Guide for each of the main CTO lessons, providing a summary of the key principles of that study along with helpful suggestions for the discipler. (This Month’s free Resource: The Discipler’s Guides, Click here.)

Starter's Kit:

To further support you in your discipling relationship, we have developed a “Starter’s Kit” that provides some of the tools available to you. Whether you are new to discipling or have been at it a while, we hope you will find them helpful. The Initial Six Sessions serves as a roadmap that walks you though your first few sessions, giving you step by step instructions on what to discuss, what homework to assign and what resources to use. We also will provide the link to a Webinar on this topic that will give you more thorough details in utilizing this resource.

Also included is a new resource called the “Discipler’s Guides.” This tool provides a summary of each of the main CTO lessons, outlines the key principles of that study with helpful ideas in discussing that particular study with your disciple. This is your “cliff notes” to the studies for you to review prior to each session to help you focus your discussion on the key principles to cover with your disciple. I look forward to hearing how God works in all of your lives as you pursue Him in the context of personal intimate discipleship. Request a sample.

The following tools are included:

The Initial Six Sessions

Direction for Future Sessions

Forgiveness and Confession Checklists

Expanding Forgiveness and Confession Lists

Preparation for a Sexual Confession

Assignment andHomework Sheets

Many of the key Diagrams

New studies and a Discussion Guide for small group interaction have been added to the Brokenness Study. This provides a unique opportunity for you to meet as a small group with those you have discipled, maintaining your friendships and continuing to challenge each other to be applying what you have already learned. A few small groups included individuals who had no previous involvement with CTO and found this study practical and effective. Click here.

New Format, New Option

In addition to the existing CTO manual, The Christian: Called to Obedience, a reformated and repackaged edition of those materials has been developed in the Three-Part Discipleship Series: God's Call to Obedience. This option for discipling adds some new studies to all of the existing CTO lessons that focus on three areas: the Gospel and Our relationship With Others, the Gospel and Our Relationship To the Fall and the Gospel and Our Relationship With God. Although in three parts, this series builds from the principles learned in part one through the rest of the series. You still need to eat the whole elephant - it is being served just one bite at a time!!
