Christina Daniell

Christina Daniell serves as the Development Director for Missionary Care Ministry and has served as the Board Chair. As a giver to the ministry since 2010, she understands the necessity for REST to those on the frontlines of the Gospel. She and her husband of 34 years, John, grew up in Oconee County and live near the Guest House. The Daniell Family attends Elder Road Baptist Church.  They have 7 children; 5 by blood, 2 by marriage, and 3 grandchildren.  Christina came to Christ as a 10-year old child, surrendered to him at age 17, but did not realize the fullness of the Grace of God until adulthood.  She enjoys serving the Lord by Grace, not guilt.  Her call to this place has been an honor and truly has opened her eyes to God’s love for the lost. It is a privilege to serve alongside her sister and brothers in Christ on the board.
