The Anderson Family

Originally, The Andersons focused their energies on raising cattle in Wyoming. They were fortunate enought 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.

Their education also included dance through the Elizabeth Tolerton School of Dance in Cheyenne.
