Ann was born October 22, 1946 of missionaries parents in Lima, Peru, South America. For 40 years her parents served with the South American Indian Mission deep in the Amazon Jungle reaching the Campa Indian tribe for Christ. In the early 1940″s the Campa Indian was a savage warlike tribe. When Ann’s parents, Bert and Marjorie Watson retired four decades later, a flourishing Campa church, Bible Institute and medical clinic provided a continuing Gospel light throughout the Peruvian amazonian jungle.
The first pastor of the Campa Evangelical Church was the witch doctor of the Campa tribe whom the Watsons won to Christ. This man, who was once the leader of spiritual darkness of his tribe, was converted to be a herald of Christ.
At the early age of 5 years, Ann gave her heart to Christ on her mother’s knee. As soon as she was able her parents involved her in the work among the Indians: Sunday school teacher (age 10), medical clinic and related activities. She learned to speak Spanish and the Campa dialect. Her musical talents include: voice, accordion, piano and organ.
