Anna’s heart’s desire for MOPS is to see moms encouraged in their role as mom and in their relationship with God. Her vision is that MOPS would be a unique community of moms known for its love, acceptance and excellence. Anna earned a BA in Communications Media/Journalism from IUP. She enjoys MOPS, reading, writing and spending time with God, family and friends. Her favorite quote is, “We must be ready to attempt something so great for God that unless He intervenes, we are bound to fail.” A favorite Bible verse is from Exodus 9:15-16, “I (God) have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
