You can reach me at ritaanyanara@gmail.com or by filling out the Contact form below. I am an ordained minister licensed in California, and I attend seminary courses at Bayside University in Granite Bay, California.
I am licensed to perform marriage and funeral ceremonies in California.
I provide tutoring to new Christians and to non-Christians on biblical concepts, how to read and understand the Bible, and how to understand the ways that God is calling you. Rate is $40/hr.
I am available as a freelance writer for Christian publications. See examples of my work on this blog.
I also provide travel consulting. I have been to 105 countries in the past 16 years and am the author of The Anxious Traveler: How to Overcome Your Fear to Travel the World (see theanxioustraveler.com for list of media coverage and blog excerpts). Typically I need to review your proposed travel itinerary, interests, limitations, and travel goals so that I can identify what can go wrong on your trip, how to avoid it, and how to make the most of your valuable time abroad. Rate is $40/hr.
Please note that I also work full time, so time slots are limited.
Blessings,
Rita
