Jeff & Mary Ann Anderson

Send a Note Start a Campaign

Ministry Beginnings: Jeff and Mary Ann met in Minneapolis, Minnesota while ministering in a Christ-centered residential discipleship ministry for street people and troubled adults. After their first year, Jeff continued in this ministry while Mary Ann served for nine months in Niger, West Africa. After she returned, they knew God was calling them to commit their lives to serve in ministry wherever God would send them. A few months later, they were married and embarked in missions together. They have served nearly five decades in full-time ministry.

Ministry in the Philippines: In the mid-'80s, they joined Action International Ministries (ACTION) and served over 33 years in the Philippines. During that time, Jeff was active in ministries to children-in-crisis and their families and disaster response. For nine years he also served as ACTION Philippine’s Field Director and ACTION’s Associate International Director. Mary Ann served through publishing books and newsletters, leading women’s Bible studies, and mentoring global Gospel workers. 

Current Focus: They currently reside in Minneapolis and continue to serve with ACTION full-time as the International Coordinators for Training and Development. Jeff also serves as the East Asia Regional Coordinator and on the Children-in-Crisis Task Force. Mary Ann volunteers part-time with the global ministry of their home church. Additionally, they serve alongside an urban church in their outreach ministries. 

The Andersons are committed to raising the awareness of churches, locally and globally, to the needs of children-in-crisis and their families. They are actively involved in ministry—virtually and in-person—to pastors, church leaders, cross-cultural Gospel Workers, and Bible school and seminary students in the Philippines and other countries. As the Lord provides opportunities, they serve by speaking, coaching, mobilizing, and training the next generation of Gospel workers who will go worldwide into the Lord’s harvest. They are both Gallup-certified Clifton Strengths coaches, which is a tool they use for mentoring global workers. They are blessed to have two married children and four lively grandchildren.
