THE GARDNERS

Andy and Janice Gardner joined the Fairlane Alliance family in August, 2007 after serving the Lord in the West African country of Guinea for 17 years. Andy was born and raised in Guinea where his parents lived and ministered for nearly 30 years. Janice was born in Saigon, S. Vietnam where her parents served under the C&MA as regional director for the United Bible Society. In 1969 her family moved to Singapore where her father oversaw UBS translation projects for all of Asia and the Pacific.

Andy and Janice have 3 boys – Dan, Peter and Nathan.

They have taken as their life ministry verse Colossians 4:3-4: “And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should.”

The Gardners have a love for Muslim people and long to build bridges of love and understanding with the Muslim population of Wayne county.
