Anna R. Rapa            Anna

Anna is an author, attorney, and professor.  She's written one book, Second Story, and has written most of our resources to date.  She also maintains a blog at www.annarapa.blogspot.com.

Anna's expertise comes from her diverse life experiences.  She grew up as a pastor's kid, and then moved overseas as a missionary kid when she was 13.  What she learned there about cross-cultural communication and relationships she brought home with her.  She first applied them within the context of her work for several years with at-risk youth.  She later became an attorney and has a passion to help the church learn to relate to those from a different culture--those who work and live and exist primarily outside of the church.

She's been working in the secular world for many years, living her life as a minister and evangelist within her marketplace.  Many of the resources she's written for us have been produced to meet a specific need within her own ministry or have been developed from what she's learned there on the ground.  Her resources are both practical and tested.
