Charissa began serving Insight for Living (IFL) as a teenager from Chuck and Cynthia’s garage! Relocating from California to Texas with IFL, she managed Listener Ministries before being promoted to vice president over Marketing, Communications, Fulfillment, Advancement, and Ministry Events. After several years, Charissa felt called to gain a broader understanding of nonprofit fundraising and served as a major gifts officer at both Wycliffe Bible Translators and Compassion International. Chuck and Cynthia are thrilled that she is carrying the family legacy forward as president of IFL. Charissa truly loves connecting personally with people and is a gifted speaker and motivational leader. She and husband, Mark Gaither have four children and love being grandparents.
