Craig and Shannon Russell
Craig serves as the Vice President of Transportation Services for JAARS, in Waxhaw, North Carolina. In this role, he is responsible for all three transportation departments – maritime, land and aviation. Craig travels extensively, including trips to Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Australia, Thailand, and Brazil. As part of the JAARS leadership team, Craig helps set the vision and direction for JAARS.
Shannon spent most of her early life on the mission field in Brazil, and she made Peters Creek her home during her high school years.
She currently is an assistant teacher in a special needs class at a local elementary school. This has allowed her to have an active ministry in the local community while still being connected to what JAARS is doing. She is also a valuable encourager to the younger wives coming through JAARS for orientation and training.
