equipping
Nineteen years ago, I would never have imagined leaving corporate America to equip the 1% in Slovakia to fulfill Christ's commission through the local church. Yet, today, God continues to call me to be part of his movement through Josiah Venture as the director of operations to equip our staff to reach the 99% for Jesus. And make disciples along the way.

JV is a part of a movement of God among the youth of Central and Eastern Europe that finds its home in the local church and transforms society. There are 32.5 million young people in this region with less than 1% who have a personal relationship with Jesus. And, more than likely, they are first-generation Christians due to the effects socialism & communism had on their families - former generations.
partnership
I believe God commands us all to love Him and love others. And calls us to make disciples look to Jesus as our example. To help me serve, equip and empower our staff and make disciples on your behalf, will you join me through your prayers, encouragements, and financial support? Continue below for more details on how you can partner with my ministry through Josiah Venture.

I began serving with Josiah Venture in 2003. During my first short-term trip in the summer of 2001, I fell in love with Slovakia, its culture, and people. I left corporate America to work with Slovakia's local churches and youth. During those first 10 years, working alongside our leadership team, we developed a model youth ministry and were involved in several ongoing evangelistic movements throughout the country. I also served on JV's member care team by providing support and communication resources for our staff. For the next six years, I mobilized others to serve alongside our ministry within our three JV mobilizing organizations in the US, Canada and United Kingdom. Today, I am living in Slovakia, where I serve, empower, and equip our Josiah Venture’s staff for ministry as the director of operations on JV’s international team, and make disciples within my local church.
My responsibilities as director of operations:
- Serve, equip, and empower JV National Organization Operation Representatives
- Track JV ministry reporting each year
- Mitigate risk management
- Monitor JV internal communications and third-party systems
- Assist the finance department, JV board and council leadership needs
- Manage special projects
