Janée Angel | Antwerp, Belgium
Janée Angel is a Cooperative Baptist Fellowship field personnel living and serving in Antwerp, Belgium, working particularly among the Arabic-speaking community, which is growing in the midst of the world refugee crisis.
Antwerp is the second largest city in Belgium and is a predominantly Dutch-speaking area. However, she and her husband, Hary, minister among the Arabic-speaking community. They live in a Moroccan neighborhood and primarily minister with those who come from the Middle East.
After working among Arabic speakers in an Arabic/French church in Brussels for six years, Janée and her family moved to Antwerp in a church planting effort to establish the first evangelical Arabic church outside the Brussels area. Today, the church holds weekly services and Bible studies, has a music ministry and children’s program, and Janée hosts women’s events and a prayer group.
Janée and Hary also seek to meet the needs of the rapidly growing refugee community. Confronted with the global refugee crisis, Belgium has greeted many Iraqi and Syrian refugees, including 90 Syrian Christians who have recently traveled with the help of Janée and Hary.
Hary leads the efforts to meet refugees and show them the love of Christ. Together, Janée and Hary host refugee dinners and open their home to those with nothing. They also collect food and clothing to distribute and have filled backpacks with winter clothes and Middle Eastern snacks to give to refugees in harsh winter months.
