Anna Jackson

Carl and Anna Jackson were raised in Christian homes with an emphasis on the holiness of God and the importance of living lives above reproach. They came from humble beginnings, Carl from Oklahoma, and Anna from Minnesota. Their upbringings were centered upon Jesus and the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of their families. They were raised with strict adherence to the Word of God with great respect for what the Lord desired in all manner of living. A Christian college in Kansas is where they met, and they have been married for 60 years at the time of this writing. Carl and Anna Jackson have been in the pastoral ministry for most of their adult lives and have ministered in several states in the Midwest and Southwest, namely, Wisconsin, Arizona, Kansas and Oklahoma. Carl has produced his own broadcasts for several radio stations in the Tucson and the Phoenix areas, including KHEP AM-FM, KFLR FM in Phoenix, and KFLT, FAMILY LIFE RADIO, headquartered in Tucson and reaching across a number of other state lines. Carl and Anna have worked for several Christian ministries in Colorado and Oklahoma, including TEEN CHALLENGE OF ARZONA, INC., Tucson, Arizona. Their burden is to see that children, young people and adults realize their full potential as God intended for them to live. They desire to encourage and train members of the body of Christ to pray and intercede through God’s power.
