MSU, New Zealand
MSU is excited to announce plans for a new campus in Wanaka, New Zealand.
Opening in February 2023, the MSU Wanaka campus is partnering with Hokioi Ministries and local churches and schools in New Zealand to build a leadership program as transformative as the one at our USA campus in Fort Mill, South Carolina. This new campus is the culmination of several years of work and over a decade of prayer by a dedicated community of believers in Wanaka.
Now, the team believes it is time for this vision to become a reality. As part of this new project, I will be relocating to New Zealand with my wife, Emilie, and my two children, Joshua and Ethan, to partner with the team now assembled.
Together, Emilie and I bring decades of leadership experience in education, missions, media, and Christian non-profit organizations to the venture. Like the Wanaka team, we have carried the vision for planting schools and raising up the next generation of leaders for years, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to help build this new campus.
The Wanaka campus will retain the same transformational leadership curriculum for which MSU is known. Courses will be taught by an incredible group of high impact trailblazers, including business leaders, Olympic champions, and highly respected spiritual leaders from around New Zealand.

The Wanaka campus will also have a regular connection in-person or online to leaders and teachers from around the world. Missions will be a particular focus of the Wanaka campus. The campus will include an option for students to participate in a rigorous wilderness training program designed to prepare them for the challenge of leadership in missions.
This training will include regular on-location wilderness training in addition to classroom instruction. Local and international missions trip opportunities will be offered throughout the year. This will be an incredible school in an incredibly beautiful location. Sign up for our mailing list to receive updates on the school’s development and when enrollment is open and how to apply.
Once enrollment opens in July 2022, don’t delay in signing up. Enrollment is limited to maintain the integrity of our training and ensure all in the school are truly equipped to discover their purpose, develop their skills, and launch into their destiny.
In Christ,
