Korban and Tanya first met the Josiah Venture team at the Fall Conference in 2003. They immediately connected with the hearts of the JV missionaries and leadership team, and they returned the following year to serve at a Czech English camp.

They loved the way JV served the local church by leading alongside them to engage their culture for Christ. Since autumn 2013, the Millers have been serving in Katowice, Poland. They’ve partnered with a church there to launch the first Fusion project in Poland. Fusion equips Polish believers with the tools to reach the next generation through high-energy rock bands and choirs.

For the Millers, leading Fusion at a local and national level allows them to serve in a way that maximizes their gifts and passions – mainly, their passion to see the next generation in Poland know the saving love of Christ.

Ever since high school, Josh and Kristen have been active in missions and felt they were meant to serve in Europe. They heard about Josiah Venture’s (JV’s) focus on relational ministry and heart for youth from JV missionaries visiting their church, and they knew they wanted to join in. They first visited Slovenia in the winter of 2016 and that summer helped at a Fusion camp. There, they got to participate first-hand in God’s movement happening throughout Slovenia. During that experience, their passion for Slovenia and its people grew; they knew that was where God wanted them.

The Morneau's moved to Ljubljana in November 2018 and are partnering with a local church there. Their time is spent serving in a variety of ways—meeting and discipling young people, helping to run local ministries in the church, and supporting Fusion ministries throughout Slovenia.

In 2011, Sajmir met Irma, who shared his passion for faith and service. Their shared dedication laid the groundwork for a strong partnership, culminating in their marriage in 2015. This union marked the start of a new chapter in their lives, both personally and in their ministry.

Following their marriage, Sajmir and Irma moved to Lushnje, where they planted the Mozaik Church. This move was driven by their ambition to broaden their ministry and touch more lives. The church's name—Mozaik—reflects the diversity and interconnectedness of their congregation, symbolizing a community brought together by shared faith and purpose.

A central goal of their ministry is to "see disciples who make disciples." This vision underscores their commitment to not just spreading their faith but also empowering members of their congregation to become active participants in the spiritual growth and mentorship of others. By nurturing a community of disciples, who are both learners and teachers of faith, Sajmir and Irma aim to create a self-sustaining and expanding network of spiritual guidance and support. Sajmir joined Josiah Venture in 2023 and became the Fusion country leader.

Nadiya first came in contact with Josiah Venture in 2008 through an English camp at Christ Fellowship Church in Lviv, Ukraine. Doing these camps several years in a row opened her heart to the youth in her city. While looking for new ideas for youth ministry, God led her to participate in a Fusion camp in the Czech Republic.

Excited about this opportunity in Ukraine, she became a leader for the Fusion ministry in 2014 in her local church there. In seeing how much Josiah Venture helped her church to grow in the area of youth ministry, Nadya desired to help other churches as well. In 2017, she was asked to help JV Ukraine launch the Exit Tour ministry. After a successful launch of three churches partnering with seven schools for the sake of reaching teens with the gospel, Nadya officially joined JV full-time, as part of the Exit Tour and schools teams.

Nadya, her husband Artem, and their two children live in Lviv and serve at Christ Fellowship church. Nadiya and Artem are involved in teenage and youth ministry in their church, and their home is always a place of youth ministry. Since the beginning of the war, Nadiya has been involved in sending medical assistance to people in the active war zone. With the help of their church, Josiah Venture, and church communities, she helps find and send medicine, hemostatic agents, and bandages to those in need. During the first months of the war, Artem transported humanitarian goods from their church to areas in Ukraine that were under fire. He continues to do this now, when it is needed.

Yoan and Nadia met for the first time at Sunday School. Yoan is a Pastor's child and is a 3rd generation Christian. At 18, he received his calling from God to minister to young people and dedicate himself to youth ministry. Nadia's family came to know God as Savior during the great revival of the 90ties. At 20, he married Nadia, continuing their ministry in the youth group as a family.

As a music-loving person, she dreamed of serving unbelievers with the music the Lord gives us and believed that one day they would be able to serve that way! They prayed that God would open the door to serve Him full time.

A few years ago, they attended the JV fall conference in the Czech Republic, where Yoan heard about Fusion and how this ministry is changing the lives of young people in Europe. That’s when Yoan decided “I want this in Bulgaria!”.

For three years now Yoan and Nadia have been serving and have been responsible for Fusion Sofia as volunteers, and they work and sustain their family with their business. Recently, they were asked to become full-time members of Istinski Horizonti’s team (JV’s partner organization in Bulgaria) and assume the national coordination of Fusion for Bulgaria. In addition, they are youth pastors and are heavily involved at Elim Sofia Church, leaders of the youth national ministry of their denomination, God's Church, in Bulgaria.

Kadri-Kristel was a Josiah Venture summer intern in 2021. She had been leading the youth ministry in her home church for two years by that time and the desire to serve more widely started to grow during the internship.

Sven and Kadri-Kristel met each other through youth group in 2013 and got married in 2017. Now they are expecting a baby and are excited to meet him/her in February 2023.

Kadri-Kristel is passionate about music and started a Fusion ministry in their home church in Tallinn, Nõmme in September 2022. She has a heart to reach more boys and girls through music and to equip young leaders using Fusion as a ministry tool to spread the gospel in Estonia.

Dan comes from Písek in South Bohemia, Czech Republic where he grew up in his unbelieving family. Since his childhood, however, he attended various basketball camps where he was able to hear about God for the first time. Consequently, he began meeting more people from a local youth group and was exposed to a Christian environment. Then, a few years later, he got involved with Josiah Venture’s Fusion ministry in Písek through which (and various other life milestones) he came to faith and accepted Jesus into his life in 2018.

He has now successfully completed his theology studies at Formission College. He is excited to use all that he has learned about ministry for the Fusion ministry in Czech and his local Fusion in Písek, where he now serves as the main leader.

Dan has several years of experience with youth work in Fusion, youth group, kids’s ports group, and kids’ group. He believes that, for teenagers, this age is one of the most important formative periods that can influence how their lives will go on. That is why he wants to be involved in a ministry that can provide a safe environment and a different perspective on the world; a world that has too much to offer, where it is hard to not get lost and to choose what is good and right. Now he has the chance to be there for the Czech teenagers and, with God's help, provide an environment and a perspective that he himself was able to experience for the first time when he was not a believer.

Emīls grew up in a Catholic church in a small town of 3500 people in Latvia. His life changed when he started attending a local Josiah Venture Fusion group and eventually ended up joining the team to help out with teaching drums. Eventually on a team trip to help out a Fusion in Ukraine, Emīls experienced God’s love for the first time and was changed forever.

Eventually taking a leadership role in the local Fusion at 17, Emīls has participated and led Fusion ever since. In 2018, he moved to Riga, the capital of Latvia, for university to study theology. In Riga, he joined a Baptist church and helped with the Fusion ministry there. After the first year in Riga, Emīls did an internship with Fusion international and spent the whole summer serving in many different countries, seeing how Fusion changes the lives of teenagers everywhere. The following year, he took over the Fusion ministry in Riga and is leading the ministry there. He is helping with all of the Fusion groups in Latvia as well as leading a local Fusion in the capital—equipping leaders and discipling teenagers in a local church in Riga.
