| Introduction | Our passion is to see God raise up Christ-like leaders and laborers who will multiply their lives in the context of the lost world as part of a missional community in accordance with their God given S.H.A.P.E. We both came to know Christ through the ministry of Campus Outreach while in college at the University of West Georgia '85-'89. In '89 I moved to Augusta, GA where we labored to begin a campus ministry at Augusta State. We later moved to Arkansas where we labored with Student Mobilization at Henderson State University from '91-'94. In '94 we came back to CO Birmingham to help franchise two new Regional Ministries into Memphis and Mobile. Then in '96 we helped form the CO Brazil team and labored in Belo Horizonte, Brazil from '97-'10. In '10 we returned from Brazil to help launch the CO Global Resource Center in Birmingham. This year I am focused on training, developing, and mobilizing staff and graduate laborers and building our alumni network for greater connection and Kingdom impact. We are blessed with four wonderful children: Luke(16), Levi(15), John(13), and Emmi(11). |
