Zane traveled to Kenya in 2000 and felt a strong desire to come back and take on an amazing project. The project grew and finally established the organization and through his desire to bring people together to help others, he has started something truly life changing. With the help of his brother and co-founder,Rance Wilemon, they have changed hundreds of lives and have no plans at stopping there.

"It is the greatest labor of love I have ever known and by doing so I have become more loving...more human."

Stephen Segebrecht serves as our medical director. He has taken a
number of teams over to Kenya and has lead community projects to teach about HIV/AIDS awareness along with many other initiatives. Steve works with his heart for these people and desires to implement many new ideas and game plans to help those in need.

"In caring for the poor, the sick, the orphans, the destitute, and the dying we find God. It is caring for those who suffer that we discover how to love and live with the full acceptance of our own brokenness.I am continually challenged and energized by the people I work with in CTC. I am continually blessed by the people I serve in Kenya."

Nathan Dillon joined CTC on it's first trip ever to Kenya. Nathan found
himself in Kenya working for CTC as a volunteer during the recent
refugee situation in Maai Mahiu. Read the article on our media page
about Nathan Dillon (SanMateo Times).

"From the outset CTC has always
been about the community, the people. It has grown from helping a
small group to looking at a larger towns' issues. I stay connected and involved because helping those less fortunate is inspiring. When
people have so little, any assistance goes a long way. I feel as if I
am working for a higher cause, something larger than myself."

Robyn Knocke joined CTC in the summer of 2006 and traveled to Kenya, she was moved strongly and became highly involved in CTC.In 2007, Robyn traveled again to Kenya with the Go Green team. Robyn continues to work with CTC stateside on business proposals and plans for future projects.

"There is a hope, a desire for bettering lives in Kenya. I believe in the people we work with. They are smart and capable. They want more. Together we can help each other to grow and better both of our worlds."

Briana Carman joined CTC on it's first ever trip with a cause. The team stayed on the ground in Maai Mahiu and lived amongst the people there. They were there for a complete month working to build a polytechnic school. She has been several years since that first trip and hopes to go back soon.

"I continue to be involved with CTC because the people we help aren't just faces. Through CTC's dedication to Maai Mahui, the people have become our friends. They're our brothers and sisters that we cannot and will not turn our back on."

Shawn Dunsirn has traveled with CTC on several occasions to Kenya. She was on one of the first trips that CTC took to build a polytechnic school in Maai Mahiu. Shawn works stateside for CTC and handles our finances. When you meet Shawn you can feel her true warmth and outgoing spirit.

"I enjoy the warmth and the Love of Jesus I see in the people of Africa. In the midst of all the suffering I am in awe of these smiling faces, that radiate hope, forgivness and strenght. My most favorite time is when we are all in prayer. I love to watch the children and adults worship, It is PURE BLISS. Something speical happens when we are all in worship together. I see such TENDERNESS and PASSION that runs deep in every soul in Africa and I am humbled to be part of their lives."

Aimee Lirette  joined us in 2007 on our first ever Go Green team. She will be working from Colorado on CTC Media and PR going forward.

"After spending time there, and coming back to my life in the states, I am more drawn to continue work in Kenya. Every day goes by and its the same thing for me and then you stop to read an article about what is happening in Kenya and it makes you realize that things aren't getting better and things won't get better unless we do something about it. I think that even if we all take on a little part in helping the people of Kenya, we can make a big difference in the overall state."

Lindsay Parmer joined us in the summer of 2007 on our first ever Go Green Team. It didn't take us long to learn that she has an amazing heart and soul. She will be continuing her work stateside as our secretary.

"I was rocked to the core by how little you need to be happy. My trip to Kenya taught me several life lessons that I had been missing. I thought that I was going to help "the people of Maai Mahiu", WRONG they helped me. Maai Mahiu was a life changing experience that will forever be in my heart. The friends I made and things I saw are etched in my soul forever."

Graham traveled with CTC to Kenya and is currently planning to travel back again. He went twice in 2006 and will be leading the Spring Break with a Cause trip in 2008.

"I am very excited about CTC's next steps in Africa. Once you go to Africa, it gets into your blood and you start planning your next trip as soon as you get home. I am ready to go back to Kenya to see the people that I met on my first trips and to be a part of the amazing things that are happening all over the continent. We are going to be a part of something very special... "
