“CIT was such a blessing and gift to our family. From the adults to the kids, the facilitators are so well prepared and teach in such an effective way. We feel so equipped as we head to the field, and have made sweet friendships that will pray us through life. We are so impressed and grateful for how much our children learned in their time here. Our time here has impacted us so deeply and we will remember it for the rest of our lives.”
