Ep 71 Anita Burns: Tough Transitions for High Capacity Leaders

"God is always present and at work in all aspects of our lives to prepare us for what he has for us at this time in our lives." Anita had found her forever job in ministry. That is, until earlier this year when she was scooped up in a dramatic transition to a huge international organization in a business role. She is as surprised as anyone to now be operating as Regional Director of the Florida/Puerto Rico Region for Operation Christmas Child. Looking back, Anita can see how God has been preparing her for this unexpected role since she was in high school!
