Tiaan & Jani

Tiaan and Jani Nel stand as the head covering of the Hebrew People ministry and team. They, together with their three beautiful boys, currently reside in South Africa and spend many weeks and months traveling, primarily throughout South Africa and Europe, sharing their lives and Biblical teaching in seminars and conferences with the nations. They also visit Israel on a regular basis, bringing visitors from the nations to explore and experience the culture of the Land.

Tiaan was exposed to the Hebrew language at a very early age when he moved with his family to Israel. He was able to quickly learn the language and discovered a gift for teaching Hebrew to others in a non-intimidating way. His teaching gift further developed into sharing the truths of Scripture and presenting the Word from a Hebrew perspective.

More than just Bible teachers, Tiaan and Jani have a passion for building relationships with their students and walking with them in discipleship and apostolic guidance, helping them find purpose, develop their skills, and grow into leadership. Together, they also focus on helping married couples strengthen and restore their relationships.

Jani has discovered the beauty of being a Proverbs 31 woman as she supports her husband and cares for their family. She has dedicated her life to building the Kingdom of Heaven through her passion for her family, serving them selflessly and ensuring that they feel deeply loved and secure. She also shares her personal experiences and testimonies with other women and young mothers.
