Terra Nova is Latin for "New World." Wherever we are and whatever we are doing we are after a new world, or rather the the current world being made new again. Currently our family is preparing to move to South Africa to serve on staff with Campus Outreach Johannesburg. Please keep scrolling to learn more about our family and ministry.

We believe LEADERSHIP makes the difference. When Jesus saw crowds of people that were harassed and helpless he gave a twofold response to his disciples. First, pray...and second ask God to send out laborers. A LABORER IS A LEADER. The goal of Campus Outreach to raise up next generation leaders for the marketplace, ministry and family. We enjoy ministering to college students, the youthfulness, idealism and energy makes the college campus a great place for ministry, but that is not why we are on staff with Campus Outreach. We are on staff with Campus Outreach because we believe the college campus is the best place in the world to reach, train and send leaders out to glorify God with their lives by meeting the great needs of the world.
In the spring of 2001, in response to the fruitfulness of the Campus Outreach Charlotte ministry, COC announced plans to launch a new Campus Outreach region, Campus Outreach Johannesburg. A staff team of existing staff and recent college graduates formed the pioneering COJ staff team. Today this team includes 24 staff including spouses (16 are native South Africans). Campus Outreach's goal is to reach and develop college students into cultural leaders. reaches to students on Witwaterstrand University, University of Johannesburg and the University of Pretoria campuses.
