Biography
Blending great Gospel music with Christian family values, the Amundruds continue to share the love of Jesus wherever they go. Amid our daily struggles and trials, it is reassuring to be reminded of the hope we have in Jesus.
The group is made up of siblings Gary, Daryl, Lorilyn, and Sheri, joined by their parents, Glen and Linda. Also, joining the Amundruds is multitalented singer/songwriter, Melissa Fehr. They all share a common desire to touch lives and reach the lost. Their unique ability to communicate through song has made them a favourite in Gospel music today with their appearances at Trinity Music City USA, Nashville's Gibson Cafe and Canada's Gospel Music Celebration.
Glen and Linda accepted the Lord shortly after they were married. Their faith has been challenged from time to time. They were unable to have children, but they fasted and prayed. God answered prayer after eight years of longing, trusting and waiting for a miracle. They were blessed with two sons, Gary and Daryl, and two daughters, Lorilyn & Sheri. They all love the Lord and serve Him.
The Amundruds' goal is to be a light and a blessing to those they meet. This family group from Lloydminster, Saskatchewan ministers to audiences through their thought-provoking lyrics, innovative musical arrangements and life-changing testimonies giving all the glory to God.
