LeRoy & Sandy Anderson
Our story: A city boy from Minneapolis, Minnesota
and a girl who grew up in Bolivia, South American, as a missionary kid (MK),
met at Bible college in Iowa, fell in love and got married. Together we
followed God’s call to serve in missions and so far, have spent 26+ years serving
in Arizona.
Our early years in ministry were spent in many different roles on staff at Southwest Indian School (SIS). During that time we raised our two children who grew up having lots of fun with the other MKs and the students at SIS. As a family we especially enjoyed the times we could spend camping and exploring in the mountains of Arizona. Our son Jon now lives in Indiana with his wife Megan and our 7 month old first grandchild, Elijah. Our daughter Becky lives here in Peoria, Arizona and assists in the ministry whenever she can.
Our current responsibilities as Directors of the American Indian Field find us traveling to visit missionaries and ministries in several Native American communities. We love serving along side our co-workers and Native American believers as together we seek to see the Love of Jesus transform communities.
You may wonder what missionaries do every day? I guess the best answer is: We love and serve people as God opens doors. Each day may find us doing different things. Our Bible and Christian Education degrees from Vennard College as well as chef training for LeRoy and nursing school for Sandy are a couple ways God has opened doors to serve. We also have found ourselves in a variety of opportunities over the years from teaching Sunday School to bookkeeping, from planning meetings to work projects and lots of things in between. Our goal is to spend time with people sharing the Love of God with them and encouraging them along their spiritual journey.
