Jonathan & Joanne were born in England & Zimbabwe respectively, but have spent most of their lives in Johannesburg, South Africa. Having been reached with the gospel as children, they are passionate about reaching and discipling the next generation. They believe that children and teenagers should be raised as an army of warriors who will advance the kingdom of God.

The Pardeys served as kids pastors at Every Nation Johannesburg for 15 years. During that time, they pioneered a kids ministry regional network, the Kids track of Every Nation Ministry school, and an inner city ministry called Transformation Vrededorp. In 2020, they heeded the call to GO and set off on an adventure to serve Hope Valley Church in Denver for 6 months. They then planned to relocate to Tampa Florida and serve the kids ministry of Trinity New Life Church.

Jonathan and Joanne have 5 children, a daughter in love, and 2 grandchildren. Their youngest, Gabi (16) lives in London with them.
