Andrea L. Dudley is the oldest of four children born to Rev. Lessley & Vera Beard in Ecorse, Michigan.  She spent her entire childhood growing up in church where she served in every capacity that you can name.  She directed the children's choir, she was an usher and attended the Sunshine Band and Red Circle program.  Andrea says that she loved going to church and being a part of church activities.  1n 1977 Andrea graduated from Ecorse High School with honors.  She was accepted into  Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, Michigan, where she received her Bachelor of Science Degree and her Masters of Arts Degree in Communications Arts and Sciences. Andrea was also very active in college and started a food drive to provide food to families in the area. Andrea enjoyed college tremendously and says that one of the highlights of her college years was becoming crowned Ms. Black Western Michigan University.  

While attending W.M.U. Andrea met Michael Thomas Dudley, who she married in 1981. 

Early in their marriage Andrea and Michael began to seek God for the purpose for which He had created them.  They would sometimes go on lengthy "fast" and prayed intensively and earnestly for God's direction.  Once, when they were on a "fast" in Toronto, Canada; while attending a worship service, a minister preached a message titled, "How to handle your wait problem".  From that point on they knew the importance of praying and waiting on God for direction.  Andrea and Michael visited Toronto regularly and Andrea was extended many opportunities to sing on "100 Huntley Street", which today is Canada's Christian Television Program.

With a passion to help women fulfill their destiny in Christ Andrea started Dudley Ministries and has hosted over 15 women's conferences and has helped hundreds of women. Her candid, transparent way of ministering the Word of God brings healing and restoration. Andrea is an ordained apostle and pastor and has been in full-time ministry for over 25 years.
