Some Staff

Linda Nagel joined the staff in Hamilton in 2006. Linda heads up the prayer department of WEC Canada. If you receive the monthly Prayer Front, Linda is the editor. She also leads the editorial committee for RPM. Linda served with WEC in Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast), West Africa for 38 years. During that time she taught Bible in the public schools, pioneered a work among unreached peoples and served as field leader for nine years. You can read more of her adventures in her two books, “Beyond the Mud” and “Just to be Clay”.

Julie grew up in the Middle East. She spent 6 years working at Gateway (previously WEC’s mission training center in Canada) then served in Albania for 10 years where for much of the time she was serving as the short term coordinator and a member of the branch counsel along side working in a church planting team with her main focus on children’s ministry. Later she was also deputy branch leader, before returning to Canada to work as the head of mobilization.

Jolene is the head of the finance department, she joined the WEC Canada team in Hamilton in 2018, and moved into the role of Treasurer in January 2025. She grew up in Waterdown, Ontario, attended Emmanuel Bible College (where she met her incredible husband), and is mom to a teen who is the biggest Vancouver Canucks fan in existence. She is delighted to serve WEC missionaries here in Canada and around the world.

When you call WEC on the phone you are most likely to talk with Jolene, Alaina or Grace. Grace worked in many admin positions, including with OMS, before joining WEC Finance. Prior to joining WEC, Alaina served over a decade with New Tribes Mission (now called Ethnos Canada) and worked in finance and admin in Western Canada.  In addition to ministering in the Finance Office, she also teaches ESL in the COME program. These are not all our staff but they’re the ones you’re most likely to talk to initially if you phone us – which we encourage you to do. They and all of us at WEC would love to hear your story and to help you as you look to follow God’s leading on your life.

Colin and Miranda serve as WEC Canada directors. Over the past 20 years they have served in various roles on the mission field on three different continents. They enjoy coming alongside others and encouraging and equipping new workers for missions. Their heart is to see God glorified in people’s lives, the unreached of the world embrace the Gospel of Jesus, and teams united in Christ serving the Lord together.

Charles and Rebekah serve as onboarding and training co-ordinators as part of our WEC team in Hamilton, Ontario.
