Founder: Dr. Emil Antoun
Emile Antoun began his professional career as a general surgeon in Cairo, Egypt. In 1968, the Lord called him to serve the youth at the Heliopolis Evangelical Church in Cairo. In the same year, Dr. Antoun was ordained as an elder at the same church.
In 1982, Dr. Antoun immigrated to the United States with his wife Suzy and four sons, Adel, Amin, Philip and Nader. He continued working as a physician at the Alexandria Hospital in Alexandria, Virginia, while also serving in various ministries, until his retirement from the medical filed in 2000.
In February 1986, Dr. Antoun was asked to start a Sunday school class at Columbia Baptist Church for Arabic speaking people. In response to his calling, in 1997, Dr. Antoun was ordained into the ministry as pastor for this congregation. The Lord has blessed this ministry, Ambassadors for Jesus, tremendously over the years as it continues to reach out to the Arabic-speaking community in the Northern Virginia area with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
