The Christian Training Center International was founded in the early 1970's as The Inn of the Last Resort. It is now known throughout the world for its outreach to families, Christian leaders, and young people. Our focus is to enable individuals - especially young men and women - to face and overcome the mounting issues and pressures in their daily lives. The most effective way to learn a foreign language is through immersion. In complete immersion, students spend all of their time hearing and speaking a new language in a sequential and cumulative format. The goal is to become not only a proficient speaker, but to acquire an appreciation and understanding of a new culture. This approach describes the training process at The Inn. Our programs are an immersion into a new language - the language of living in Christ. The goal is fluency in the language of relationships. Programs share a sequential vision, building an understanding of relationships and family culture. The foundation is an encounter with Christ. This encounter is the means for both insight and vision. Encountering Christ leads to insight and results in vision. The sequence of encounter, insight, and vision is the pattern of our programs. The programs take place at our inn, so they are referred to as INNcounter, INNsight, and INNvision. We train people from all walks of life, including teens, young adults, and families. Teens INNcounter Christ in new ways and are challenged to be authentic. Young adults gain INNsight for the next level and are equipped for the future. And we INNvision united families, strengthening and restoring relationships.
