Minister Charles Russell was born and raised in Daytona Beach FL. Mentored under Elder John H Lawson, he has been instilled with the True Gospel and tools to evangelize, preach, and teach the Word of God. Charles Russell has been working directly with troubled youth as a counselor for 7 years and has a plethora of experience communicating the word of God to children and adults. During his employment as a Juvenile Detention Officer at the Volusia Regional Juvenile Detention Center, his gift with engaging youth would be revealed. 

 

     His ministry began after he was baptized in the name of Jesus and filled with the Holy Ghost. He came to the realization that the gift of teaching that he utilized to mentor youth would become the rudiment of his ministry. 

 

     Minister Charles Russell currently teaches bible classes at a Youth Respite Shelter for runaway youth and at risk teens and has baptized several of them. He has established Cries In The Wild Ministries and teaches online Bible Classes with hopes of opening his own youth program using the Holy Scriptures as a means to mentor. 

 

      With a strong zeal for study and mentoring, he is truly an effective minister and he is now walking into his true calling as a Pastor and Teacher.
