ANGEL WINGS COUNTRY/SOUTHERN GOSPEL TRIO
BIOGRAPHY
With most of Lori Keiser's family from the beautiful blue-grass hills of Kentucky, she developed an early interest in music and singing. Once her mother, pianist/organist of Little Washington Congregational Church for 40 years, realized her interest and abilities she had Lori 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. Once she was saved by the blood of Jesus, 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!!
​
​Lori has been given many songs from the Lord in the Country/Southern Gospel music genre. The Lord has blessed her with the opportunity to record 4 CDs. She currently sings lead and harmony with the Country Gospel Trio – Angel Wings.
​
Lori served two years in the Ohio Army National Guard as a Human Resource Assistant and 12 years in the Ohio Military Reserve, 8 of those 12 years as a Chaplain Assistant. She is very proud of her service to her country. However, she always knew she would end up working with kids. She currently works for Galion School District as a High School Secretary and lives in Bellville, OH and faithfully attends The Way Church in Mansfield, OH.
Some of Lori’s best memories are sitting on her Grandparent’s back porch picking and signing with her mother, aunts, uncles and cousins, the good old gospel songs and hymns. Lori is an old fashioned, country girl next door and wants nothing more than to share the love of Jesus through music and testimony!!
With ALL His Love

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
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
