How Shannon Serves with Global Recordings Network

Shannon began by being an accounts receivable data input volunteer for our Finance Department. In 2021 she joined staff and became our Neon Database Manager, but also helped many of us with spreadsheet and computer program questions, as well as being responsible for AC. She is now the primary on-site Finance Manager, with a chartered accountant as a consultant off-site.

She invites you to pray with her for people all over the world to be able to read or hear the Gospel message in their own heart language. God’s Word is life-giving and she wants all to have access to it.

Background and Qualifications

Shannon grew up in Tennessee, lived in Florida, and has RV’d all around the country, but currently has a house (complete with two cats and six chickens) in Catalina, Arizona. She enjoys photographing the wildlife that hops, strolls, or flies past her home.

She always had a deep desire to serve the Lord as a full-time medical missionary. After almost 20 years as a nurse in America and on short-term mission trips, she was thankful to be a part of the SIL support team for Bible translation in Mexico, serving as the Finance Manager in their Catalina office. She left that position last year to become our Finance Manager. Her RN career steered her into a focus on Medical Information Systems, which has successfully led to the roles she performs for both SIL and GRN.

Shannon has parents, a married sister, and three nieces and nephews back in Tennessee. She loves serving the Lord full time, but knows pushing figures around is not considered terribly interesting by the giving public. However, if you knew Shannon, you would know she could make watching paint dry a fun activity!
