Musicians Dave Anderson and Roger Walck will present a free concert at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14, at Zoar Church in Tofte. Everyone in the North Shore community is invited to attend.
Dave and Roger’s music is a blend of contemporary, gospel, hymns, and lots of old-time Sunday school songs. The audience will be invited to sing along but, as Dave says, “so long as it’s the same song.”
Dave Anderson comes from Arizona, and Roger and his wife Patti live in Corona, California. Dave grew up as a Lutheran preacher’s kid in Minnesota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Dave has been involved in lay ministry in the Lutheran church for 48 years, first in youth ministry (Dave is the founder of Lutheran Youth Encounter) and then music ministry, including concerts and worship resources.
Roger Walck is a skilled vocalist, guitarist, and a worship team leader. Roger is a graduate of Vanguard University, and he has studied at Fuller Seminary and Azusa Pacific University. For many years Roger taught theology at Orange Lutheran High School in Orange, California. Roger has led Spanish-language worship in various Orange County churches.
During the concert/service, Dave will share from his personal experiences from having traveled 4,000,000 miles over the past 43 years of concert ministry. These travels include concerts in Saudi Arabia, Nepal, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, the Scandinavian countries, and 25 trips to Australia and New Zealand.
2019 is the last year for Dave’s and Roger’s concerts. After 36 years of “living out of a suitcase,” Barb decided to pass the concert baton to Roger Walck.
Now, in addition to concerts in the Southwest and Northwest, Dave has decided to focus his ministry attention on the Shepherd’s Canyon Retreat ministry.
In 1993, God used incredibly heroic men to rescue Dave, his wife Barbara, and five others from 36-degree water after their plane crashed into the Bering Sea while returning from a missionary and humanitarian mission in the Russian Far East. All seven men and women survived what could not be survived!
This story has been heard by millions around the world on radio, TV, and through personal appearances. The Rescue Story points to the God, which rescues men and women from overwhelming circumstances in their lives. Dave will tell highlights of this story at Zoar during the Nov. 14 concert.

Dave, Barb, and Roger are involved in the most ambitious project yet: Shepherd’s Canyon Retreat, a special counseling ministry for burned-out and emotionally wounded Christian ministers and their spouses. Week-long Shepherd’s Canyon Retreats are held at the ministry’s home-base called Standing Stones Conference & Retreat Center, which is located 90 minutes northwest of the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, 15 miles west of Arizona’s “cowboy town,” Wickenburg. Please visit www.StandingStonesAZ.org. The free-will offering received at the concert will benefit the Shepherd’s Canyon Retreat ministry.
