C-12 has fulfilled a need in my business. Not just financial, but more importantly C-12 has given my wife and I direction and peace about our decisions in business and our personal lives.  All my advisors have kept me on the highroad.  It has also been a great opportunity to give out of yourself to help others.  The financial cost is a very small price to pay. How would you put a price on God's speaking through Godly men?  The monthly segments too have been priceless.  I am lord willing staying in C12 until I pass.

"I've been a member of C-12 since it began, and my membership has made me a better businessman and a better Christian who can think in terms of ministering God's love in the marketplace as part of my day-to-day routine.   It is the best organization of its kind.   

C-12 has been very valuable to me for building friendships and connections in our community as well as having given me a great business education along with the vision and tools for ministry in my daily work.  In one meeting I saved enough to pay for 10 years of membership."

I have been a member of C12 for over 6 years and there are many examples of how God has used this group of men to sharpen me, pray for me, hold me accountable and care for me. What I appreciate about my group is the care not just for the business side of life, but for my families well-being too. I recently went through a career change and my C12 group was there to offer support, encouragement, advice and business. I thank God for the relationships He has given me through the years at C12-it's worth the price of membership and so much more.

My C12 experience has been a total eye opener for me.  I never really looked at my business

as a "platform" that God has blessed me with to reach out to spread the Word.  C12 has given

me the tools to help so many people in the work place.  I also love the accountability it offers.

For the past 16 years c-12 has been the compass that God has used to guide me in making business, church, and personal decisions in my life. The godly friendships that I have made have been a huge blessing and the personal accountabilty has improved every relationship in my life. For 15 year it seemed like I was always being helped by others in the group and I was blessed to be on the receiving end. It is fun and rewarding to be used to help others this year with the knowledge that I have gleaned from the past 15 years. I am convinced that Tri County would not be a "for profit Christian ministry" today if I had not been involved with c-12. Thank you Buck, Don and Chuck for your eternal investment in my family. There is no greater investment.

Every month I look forward to studying the C12 materials and participating in the C12 work sessions because they provide me with an excellent combination of information, reassurance, encouragement and "life coaching" from a Biblical perspective.  C12 has caused me to re-evaluate, improve and adjust my goals for my business, family and life to focus more on Christ .  And, C12 has helped me implement my goals by providing proven methods to succeed in each of these areas and by requiring me to be accountable to myself, my family and my C12 group.

"I have always worked to keep Christ in my family and public life, but often did not have the resources and support to implement God's mission and vision in my business in a material way. In the short time I have been experiencing the support and power of the C12 Group, I have been more confident and bold in knowing and having direction in implementing God's plan throughout all facets of my business. It is not a quick process but a journey in working to perfect my business to work God's purposes." C-12 has let me see and understand through other business owners that God can is a part of my/ 'his" business, and that as a business owner we have a platform to be able to share and be a good example of Christ wants us to be.

"C12 is a great real world MBA, board of directors and R&D lab woven into one…a life preserver in times of treading water, a mirror to face in accountability, and a tool I would not part with.  The raw, safe and joyful support from a group of Christian business owners is rare.  There is no safer place to struggle with business, personal and spiritual issues than C12."

Jon F. Paul, President
Value Added Finance Resources

C12 has led to wonderful things in the business, personal, financial and spiritual fronts, things I don’t feel I could have gotten from a “business only” group or even from the great schools I’ve attended (Harvard Business School).  Little did I know how much of a difference the C12 perspective would make on the non-business parts of my life as well.  I am very grateful every day for each C12 member in my local group.

Dave Otterson, President/CEO

"The job of CEO can be a very lonely existence.  The greatest benefit to me has been the ability to seek solace in the fact that so many others face the same day-to-day decisions and pressures that I do.  More i

m

portant is the ability to be with a group dedicated to building God’s kingdom versus a corporate kingdom.  I have found friendship, accountability, advice, support, wisdom, mentoring and, most importantly, prayer in my C12 Group.  I have bee

n so very blessed to be invited to join this group of wonderful people and learn from them."

Mike Aman, Owner
One Source Communications

My C12 experience has been a real blessing in that it helps me put first things first and meets three basic needs for a business owner: (1) solid direction on how to run my business in a God-honoring way with challenging materials, (2) a ‘board of directors’ for my business that have my best interest at heart, and (3) a C12 Chair, leader and mentor that not only provides solid business counsel but also is a trusted friend that prays for me, my family a

nd my business.
