Musical family sees U.S. by bus
Their bus is home for The Allen Family. For the last 12 years, The Allens have traveled across the United States and Canada in full-time Christian ministry. Todd and Michelle Allen, with their oldest son, Caleb, took first place at the 2000 National Quartet Convention Talent Show in Louisville, Ky.
In the years to come, their children joined the ministry, and this family group now has 10 members, also including Gabrielle, Joshua, Jared, Danielle, Abigail, Zachariah and Christina. They live in their bus 365 days a year and fill over 275 engagements a year.
This year they will return to Branson, Mo., for their third Simply Christmas program.
