children: Joshua, Abby, and Titus. Todd and Jeana have worked with the Palmerston North Church
of Christ, Wellington Church of Christ, and the Foxton Church of Christ all in New Zealand. Todd
has been involved in many New Zealand Campaigns for Christ which are intensive one week or two
week door-knocking campaigns. There is a high emphasis on outreach in New Zealand among
members of the Lord’s church. Many people are Atheist, Agnostic, or Skeptical yet there is still a
place where people with good hearts can be found.
During the summer months he has works with the Central church of Christ primarily focusing on
evangelism. He and several members have done local door-knocking, shared the gospel with many
people in addition to conducting several home bible studies, and participated in two door-knocking
campaigns (Hawesville, KY and De Land, FL).
Future plans are to be back in Cleveland next summer, the Lord willing. We will be reaching out to
the city of Cleveland, TN with the good news. Make plans to come and participate in the next
Campaign for Christ. Contact the office here at Central for further information.
