Bio notes from the beginning
Discovering the vision…
Early years: With her Father, Humanitarian & WWII Vet., Hon. Leonard G. Wolf, working as an elected official (US Congressman) and later as a world-hunger programs director, Ann traveled extensively in her young years throughout North & South America as well as in parts of Europe; hence her second language became Portuguese (upon living in Rio as a child) & eventually she added Spanish as of the 90s after moving to Nashville, TN. These experiences of living and traveling abroad also contributed greatly to the vision that was forming in her soul, of becoming an artist who could inspire spiritual depth in others as well as support worthy causes, while bringing relief to those in need.
Developing years: As a young visionary with great ideals in her heart, Ann began writing songs at the age of 14 and has recorded many of them on various albums throughout her adult life. She has also served as a contributing artist or songwriter on many other album projects for fellow artists or as part of joint projects for humanitarian causes such as the Baltimore City area fundraising album,”Songs for the Homeless,” (produced by Jeff Order) along with other artists such as Lloyd Marcus, conservative gospel singer, blogger, and patriot.
Pausing for the cause: After spending many years, first on the road as a country rock entertainer, leading lady for theater, and then motivational convention entertainer, in the early 90s,’ Ann followed “a divine inspiration” to take a break from this line of work and study to prepare for what would be her broadest outreach yet. Over the next decade, Ann graduated from two Bible Colleges. Then in continuing her research with regard to spiritual topics, she also began to acquaint herself with current technologies and resources available via the internet which would help greatly in sharing messages quickly throughout the world. She also began writing the chapters of her first inspirational book, scheduled for release in 2019, “Becoming The Church.”
Moving forward with the vision…
The Mission: Inspired by the compassionate-action work of her father & by the mercy-teachings of her Shepherd Jesus, Ann decided at a very young age to dedicate all of her talents to the relief of suffering as well as to bringing comfort & spiritual inspiration to others.
Message of the Lighthouse Online Library: Today, her body of works, both musical & literary, are based on the Two Commandments of Jesus, which are to “Love God” & “Love Others,” something which she refers to as “The Message of the Lighthouse.” Though this title started out as a way to describe the building vision in her heart, “Message of the Lighthouse” now is the name of her Online Library where folks from around the world go on a regular basis to find spiritual studies for their church groups or personal enrichment. This is also the home for the online version of her “Becoming the Church, Guided Study Experience,” a simple to follow, step by step course which readers can embrace in sequence, or from which they can select a study lesson as the Spirit leads them.
Encouraging One Another: Believing that Jesus calls us to first learn to “Stand” and then “Stand” for each other, this is why Ann shares her own personal spiritual journey with others through her online libraries, her commentary, blogs, songs, narrations, videos, and personal appearances.
Chaplain Ann M. Wolf: Ann has completed two Bible Colleges over a period of seven consecutive years, one vocational (Sozo Bible Institute) & one accredited (OBC). She is ordained by the laying on of hands (under non-denominational auspices) & currently serves as the Founding Chaplain of Message of the Lighthouse (Online Spiritual Support Resources.) She also conducts presentations and honor ceremonies throughout East Tennessee as well as outside of her state as requested by churches, organizations, and event planners. Read more.

Serving God & Country in Unity of Purpose together
More about Patriots on Wheels: This is one of Ann’s campaigns which promotes Unity among all Bikers (MM, MC, Org., denomination, etc., regardless of the patch or other affiliations. Here are some of the other values promoted by this campaign:
Slogan: “Serving God & Country in Unity of Purpose Together”
Volunteerism: Living under the Flag of Liberty comes with responsibilities & opportunities; therefore Ann promotes the idea of each citizen (who is able), finding a way to contribute their unique abilities via a local organization, veteran, 1st-responder, senior citizen, worthy cause, or family in need of support.
Unity: Ann believes that we can be connected via the Spirit of God as well as by shared values; she also aspires to recognize and honor each person and group for the unique contribution that they make to their community, focusing on common denominators rather than differences.
Teaching by example: Ann believes in approaching one another with humility and kindness as demonstrated by our own diligent example. In the case of volunteer organizations, it is important to remember that many of the folks who work together are not necessarily professionals in their current position; and therefore patience, kindness, and understanding is helpful in our interactions with one another as we strive to make a difference in the lives of others.
The “Patriots on Wheels” Patch: A patch is currently being designed & manufactured that will available for purchase soon; folks who live in support of these values will be welcome to wear the Patch. Net proceeds will be contributed to Causes to include vulnerable Veterans & 1st-Responders.
