Craig Harriman came to know Jesus Christ as his personal savior during high school and was involved in the Cru ministry as a student and athlete at the University of California, Davis and the University of Nevada, Reno. He joined the staff of Cru in 1973 and has been a full-time and volunteer staff member with the Athletes In Action ministry for over 52 years.
Craig currently serves on the Athletes In Action Global Events Team conducting ministry outreaches and sharing Christ with coaches and athletes at national and international sports competitions such as the Olympic Games. With his background in swimming and water polo, his ministry focus is within the aquatic sports.
Craig has given leadership to the Athletes In Action Swimming ministry since 1979 — a natural fit since he swam and played water polo in high school, played water polo at UC Davis, and has coached high school and club swimming for over 25 years.
The Great Commission to "make disciples" of Jesus Christ is the WHY behind what God has called Craig to do as a staff member of Cru and Athletes In Action. Craig shares, "My heart, my passion, my desire is to introduce others to Jesus Christ, ground them in their faith, help them mature into fruitful believers and reproduce themselves by making more disciples (II Timothy 2:2)."
Craig has been married to his wife Barbie since 2008. They have a total of five children, thirteen grandchildren, and one Mini Australian Shepherd ("Daisy Cowgirl")! They currently reside in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Your financial and prayer partnership with Craig is strategic, precious, and deeply appreciated! Thank you very much!
