Who are we?
Josiah Venture
For the past 10 years, I've been a part of the Josiah Venture organization, serving God full-time in Poland, my homeland. Josiah Venture is a Christian organization that equips young leaders to fulfill Christ’s commission through the local church. JV exists in 16 countries across Central and Eastern Europe and focuses on youth evangelism, discipleship, and leadership training.
We are moved by the story of King Josiah and how God used this young leader to change an entire country. His pursuit of God began with personal devotion but grew into a national movement of repentance and renewal. Josiah’s discovery of God’s Word didn’t just impact him; it reshaped the spiritual identity of his people. This profound transformation serves as a blueprint for our mission at Josiah Venture, where we believe that young leaders have the power to ignite similar movements today.
Through discipleship, training, and mentorship, we are equipping a new generation to rise above cultural challenges and pursue God’s truth wholeheartedly. Like Josiah, they are stepping boldly into leadership, inspiring their peers, and restoring hope in their communities. We are humbled to witness how God continues to use young people to bring revival in our time.
In January of 2002, Josiah Venture was launched as its own mission organization, with administrative offices in Wheaton, Illinois. Today, Josiah Venture has grown with over 390 staff members in 16 countries across Central and Eastern Europe.

Our Mission
I joined full-time Josiah Venture in May 2016, after being involved in Youth Ministry in my local church in Nowy Tomysl, Poland, as a volunteer for many years.
Since then, I have been working full-time towards JV’s vision: to see a movement of God among the youth of Central and Eastern Europe that finds its home in the local church and transforms society. I'm staying involved in discipleship among young women by mentoring and training them whenever I can, and investing in youth leaders who are passioned in following Christ and reaching their peers with gospel.
Now, years later, as a part of JV Poland leadteam, Evangelical Area Coordinator for our Polish team and Poland’s English Camp program director, I have the honor of serving God and empowering others at each stage of their relationship with Jesus, through my work. Our team assists local churches in putting on evangelistic summer camps for teenagers in their communities.
Poland is very religious, and most Poles consider themselves Catholic. The evangelical church is quite small - only 0.3% of the population. English Camps continue to be a vital tool to reach young people with the news that they can have a relationship with God.
