Anderson Brothers-Anderson Family History: Remember When
/The Anderson Family.
Terry Anderson and Marylou (Ferguson)
were married in 1974. Their first child,
Mark was born in Cheyenne, WY, They then
then moved to Colorado, where Terry worked
in the Coal Mines. Matthew, Luke, John and
Micah were all born in Colorado. The family
then moved back to Cheyenne WY where Kristi
and Joshua were born.
Originally, The Andersons focused their
energies on raising cattle in Wyoming. They
were fortunate enough to be raised on their
grandparents ranch between Cheyenne and Laramie.
Their parents and grandparents, taught them many
life skills including the value of raising quality,
healthy animals. While growing up they were very
active in 4-H, both showing and judging
livestock, and learning while doing various arts
and crafts.
The siblings also were very active perticipants in the Kiwanis' Stars of Tomorrow. This organization allowed them to learn the skills involved in performing in front of crowds.
Homeschooling is a very integral part of the Anderson Family make up. All seven of the siblings were taught in the home, using Christian curricula from A Beka and Rod and Staff as well as various other publishers. This education laid the ground work for their ministries.
.
They were able to participate in the AWANA program where they aggressively memorized scripture verses.
.
They were involved with a group called WINGS (We're Involved Now Growing Strong) This was a ministry started by Linda and Bob Rainbow and Pete and Lorna Skelley at the Berean Church in Cheyenne, WY. The group performed a unique dinner theater, which started with secular music and skits, and developed into a very powerful salvation message, bringing people to a better understanding of God and His love for all of us.
.
Most of the siblings were active in sports through St Marys Catholic and Pine Bluffs public schools. .
Their education also included dance through the Elizabeth Tolerton School of Dance in Cheyenne. .
While growing up all of the Anderson children earned many local, state, and national awards in the areas of speech, athletics, art, music, dance livestock judging and showmanship.
In 1998 the Anderson Brothers, won the national
Tamdenwood Talent contest. This opened a whole new chapter in this ranch family's life.
The Anderson family,(Mark, Matthew, Luke, John, Micah, Joshua, and sister Kristi, along with their parents, Terry and Marylou
moved to Branson Missouri from Cheyenne, Wyoming.
The siblings all performed in Branson for two years.The Brothers performed with The Lowe Sisters and opened for Roy Clark as well as headling thier own show at the former Branson USA Theater for one season. Kristi was a dancer on the Jim Stafford Show. While in Branson, the brothers recorded
their first album. It is an a cappella doowop entitled Berachah! DooWop.They recieved many blessings and much encouragement from Tammy and Denny Felton and the Lutte family during this time.
God called this family to move to the small community of
Louisburg, MO in 2000.
God knew the hearts of the entire family. He has now placed the brothers where they truly wanted to be: singing gospel music and sharing the Word though testimonies. They released their first a cappella gospel album, Rain of Blessings. in 2001. You can hear excerpts from this album
on this website. Be prepared for a major blessing!
