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.
