Young people in Eastern Europe live in a changing world their parents never knew – a place once dominated by government sponsored atheism yet now filled with opportunity and freedom. But this same region is also increasingly becoming a “post-Christian society.”
The world has changed. But the gospel is still the same and God is moving in a unique way across Eastern Europe as young men and women are being touched by the message of Jesus Christ. Some of this is being sparked by the dedication, sacrifice and service of a missionary team called Josiah Venture.
Every Summer, Josiah Venture reaches out to high school students in Eastern Europe through summer English camps. The camps have one purpose: to share the love of Jesus Christ. Through peer to peer relationships with students, the love of Jesus goes out to those who have had little or no contact with Christians, the Bible, or the truth of Jesus Christ.
Among the young people in these countries there is a high desire to improve English conversation and to learn about English-speaking cultures. Josiah Venture’s goal is to provide the highest quality English conversation program and openly discuss the claims of Jesus Christ. In a typical year, close to 4000 youth take part in JV summer English camps. Over a third of these are non-Christian students, many of whom are exposed to the gospel for the first time as a result of the camps
