After finding Christ as a college freshman and being discipled through Chi Alpha (XA), Todd pioneered Chicago XA, in 2010. With over 500,000 college students, Chicago is the nation’s third largest college town. What began as a single campus ministry has grown into a citywide outreach on four campuses: University of Illinois at Chicago, Loyola University, Northwestern University, and Columbia College. Todd now leads a team of missionaries as the Citywide XA Director in Chicago as well as the District XA Director for the entire state of Illinois.

• Tomorrow’s leaders are on today’s college campuses. We have discipled students who have gone on to become doctors and nurses, social workers, church planters, professional athletes, engineers, etc.

• Nations all over the world send their best and brightest to attend universities in Chicago. The reach them with the gospel, disciple them, and send them back to their home countries as missionaries full of the love and power of God.

• Secular college campuses are also full of students who emerge from local church youth groups. We disciple them to grow in their faith and live on mission right here and now.

Todd and Shawndra live in the heart of the city with their three boys: Ethan, Cameron, and Hudson.
