BILL ADKINS

​

Bill Adkins was born in Williamson, KY in 1962 and moved to Cleveland, OH at the age of 3 with his parents Robert and Alice Adkins. In 1970 his father passed away and his motherand brothers then moved to Nashville, TN in 1975. It was there that Bill gave his heart to the Lord and knew that he had a calling on his life. Like many people Bill ran from the Lord, but he found that you cannot outrun the love of God or the call he puts on your life. Bill began to play music with Several of Nashville's big name acts but he still felt empty inside.

 

After Several years He came off the road to settle down in Cleveland, Ohio where he played music 7 nights a week in local bars and clubs, and did Multiple Opening shows for several of Nashville’s big acts.

 

In 1999 Bill moved to Columbus, Ohio where he met his wife Teresa and asked the Lord back into his heart. Bill has written about over 650 songs about the Lord and his wonderful love.

 

In May of 2007 Bill went to HMG music in Nashville and released his first single "Jesus Reached Down" in June of 2007. After a year of putting the CD together Bill has come to see that playing for Jesus is what he was born to do.This is the first of many CD's that Bill will be working on. I hope you enjoy the songs off the new CD and look for new music coming soon.

 

God bless you all and hope to see you soon,

Bill Adkins

L.E. KEISER

​

L. E. Keiser developed an early interest in music and singing.  Once her mother realized her interest and her abilities she had her singing in church at a very young age.  This was her starting point.  She went on to sing with various groups and as a soloist.  Even though she was raised in church she didn’t accept or understand the fullness of the grace of Jesus until she was 28 years old.  She made a vow to Him to never perform for the world again; she would only sing for Him and from that point forward, with the Lord’ strength, she has managed to keep that vow!! 

​

L. E. has been given many songs from the Lord in the Southern Gospel music genre.  She currently sings lead and harmony with the Southern Gospel group – Angel Wings.  You can listen to one of the songs on this webpage under "sound bytes".

​

L.E. served two years in the Ohio Army National Guard as a Human Resource Assistant and 12 years in the Ohio Military Reserve as a Chaplain Assistant.  She is very proud of her service to her country.  However, she always knew that she would end up working in the entertainment industry.  She currently works for iHeartRadio – six different radio stations in one building in Mansfield, OH and lives in Bellville, OH – born and raised a country girl!!

TINA ANATRA

​

Christina (Tina) Anatra   was born in Loudonville, Ohio in 1961. She is the 4th of 5 children, of which the youngest brother has gone to be with the Lord in 1990. She grew up in church, with her mother being the church pianists, and the family singing specials. But never received Christ until later.

 

On Thanksgiving of 1990, she was invited to a Thanksgiving service at Maranatha Bible Baptist, Lexington, Ohio. That was the first time she had heard the plan of salvation, and gave her heart to the Lord, under the ministering of Pastor Al Salas. She was a member there for 15 years. During that time, God introduced her to Bob and Lee Pennington and they became a singing trio known as the "Beacon of Light" trio. They traveled and performed gospel music, and recorded their only CD in 1994. She also sang with another group that was formed at Maranatha.

 

After leaving Maranatha, she joined with Pastor Herman and Carol King, in planting a new church, known as Lenox Baptist Church, Mansfield, OH. While there, she continued to sing, teach, and be the church pianist, along with other secretarial duties.

 

Tina is now attending Berean Baptist Church and Hillside First Church of God, both of Mansfield. Though having not performed for the past 5 years, she feels that God is reigniting the passion to sing for the Lord.

 

"I am so blessed to have met Bill & Lori, and am excited for the opportunity to sing praises to the Lord with them. There's no greater feeling to know when you're doing what God wants you to do, and I pray that He uses us to make such a difference by touching hearts & lives. It's exciting to see His hand at work and look forward to where ever He leads us"

 

In Christ,

 

Tina Anatra

WENDY MILLS

​

Valinda Mills was born October 25, 1955.   She is the oldest of 3 siblings, two brothers and one sister, of which the youngest brother has went on to be with the Lord.   We as a family were not raised in church but I did have a Grandmother whom was a Christian to the fullest.  This would be where I received any sort of hearing of the word. I always loved to stay at my grandmothers as she would read the Bible to us at night when we went to bed. 

 

Valinda, whom goes by nickname -Wendy, started attending church in 1990 and gave her heart to the Lord in 1992. Valinda started attending a small church in Mansfield Ohio, under Pastor Rick Wiseman.  Being such a small church there were few singers so the pastor gave me a soundtrack to see if I would like to learn to sing solo.  Well I did, and I really felt at that time that God was leading me in the path of singing southern gospel music. Growing up I listened to the country music and always sang along with singers such as Reba McEntire, Loretta Lynn, Connie Smith, Tammy Wynette etc., but when I started singing gospel for the Lord, I really felt in my heart this was God’s calling on my life.   Trust this was not an easy thing to do. With the help of a loving couple from this church, around 1996 they took me to Nashville Tennessee to record my first soloist CD under Producer & CEO Gary Carlton.

 

Since this time God has blessed me with being able to sing at other church’s and outdoor gospel sings as a soloist. I have also had the privilege to sing as a duet in the group “SetApart” of which a CD was made.    I have since been blessed with my second soloist CD, recorded by Randie Kilgore (Buzz recording’s) out of Shelby Ohio.         

 

God has opened a door to allow me to help out when needed with the singing group Angel Wings. I will still continue to sing for the Lord when and where ever He opens the door.  I love the Jesus with all my heart, without Him, I am nothing.

 

Yours in Christ,

 

Valinda (Wendy) Mills

**Yes, we are a trio.  However, with Tina's work schedule she may have to miss a few singing events so Wendy was gracious enough to step up & fill in for her during those absences.  Both ladies are very talented and on fire to see souls saved through music and song!**
