from Anchoring Hope Ministries

How Vulnerability Became His Advantage as a CEO?!From the Mill to the MissionCan God use your greatest struggle to fuel your greatest calling?In this episode, David Mansilla interviews Johnny Wilson, the "Fixer" who transitioned from a South Carolina textile mill to the helm of a massive human services organization.

Under his leadership, FUM provides emergency assistance, adult literacy, low-income home repairs, and youth mentoring to over 15,000 individuals annually at no cost. #FaithInBusiness #ChristianLeadership #FayettevilleUrbanMinistry #OvercomingPoverty #DebtFreeLiving #SecondChances #MentorshipMatters #GenerationalWealth #NonprofitExcellence #KingdomMindset #JohnnyWilson #AnchoringHope
