Meet Our Ministry Partners

Vision: Jacob and Denny are both serving Josiah Venture on the international team. Jacob is a graphic designer on the JV Communications Team, and Denny serves the executive team as an administrative assistant with the planning of key international events in the Czech Republic. They married in April 2020 and started their life together on mission - to empower the youth of Central and Eastern Europe.

Mission:  Denny and Jacob have a passion for what God is doing through the work of Josiah Venture. Their discipleship of young people through the local church inspires them to serve the international effort of missionaries and local churches across this region. Whether coordinating training events and empowerment or creating media that help share the gospel in over 16 countries, they are dedicated to pursuing God's call on their life as people on mission. Jacob and Denny also invest in their local church, pursuing dynamic community and serving where they can.

Ministry: We are now living in Koper, Slovenia and we are partnering with a recent church plant. It is one of only a few churches in this entire region, and we are so excited for the potential for how God can use our church to impact the coastal region of Slovenia. David is working to help the church leadership reach the city for Christ, get a new youth ministry off the ground, and discipling young people across the country. Katka is involved in the process of helping write, record, and distribute new Slovene worship songs, since currently 99% of songs sung in church were translated from English.

Vision: We really believe that reaching the next generation for Christ is the key to changing Slovenia. As an organization, our mission and calling is to equip young leaders to fulfill Christ’s commission by reaching and making disciples who make disciples. And these young leaders, as they are transformed into the image of Christ, they will transform the world around them.

Ministry: Making disciples who make disciples among the South Asian Muslim diaspora living in the Arabian Gulf.

Vision: To be salt and light among all Muslims, and in partnership with the Holy Spirit and with those who share similar vision, invite South Asian Muslims living in the Gulf to follow Jesus, build multi-generational communities of faith, develop effective leadership, and to take the gospel back to their families and communities within South Asia.

Ministry:  Zala has been serving as a Josiah Venture ministry partner in Slovenia since 2016. She is part of the Evangelical Christian Church of Ljubljana where she oversees children and youth ministry. On a national level she serves as a director of summer ministries and leads a 2-year discipleship program for college students. Zala is also a Josiah Venture council member.

Vision: To witness Slovenes following the Lord wholeheartedly, making disciples who continue to make disciples and through that seeing families, schools and neighborhoods transformed for the Gospel.

Ministry: She works alongside Bible translators and local evangelists to bring the Good News in a language that speaks to people's hearts.

Vision: Reaching the lost through Bible translation and linguistics.

Ministry: To share the Gospel message with the people who do not have the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Ministry: In partnership with like-minded organizations, we aim to equip, encourage, and coach pastors and ministry leaders to see healthy, strong, and flourishing leaders and churches throughout Slovakia and Europe.

Vision: A movement of the gospel in Europe where disciples of Jesus are made, leaders are developed, new churches are planted, and communities are transformed.

Ministry: We teach and train people at Missions Conferences, Christian colleges as well as churches on Global Missions and Biblical topics involving ministry and discipleship. International training for national pastors and lay leaders in disciple making and church planting.

Vision: Is to bring light and hope in dark places, where there is none, by making disciples, training new leaders and starting new churches.

Ministry: Gabriela is a missionary serving alongside with Missão Novas Tribos do Brazil, an organization partnered with Ethnos360. Gabriela's primary ministry with her teammates will be planting a mature church amongst an unreached people group in Brazil that has little to no access to the Gospel. This will be a lengthy task as the Lord permits, because Gabriela will spend much of her ministry learning language(s), studying their culture and beliefs, building trust, living in a remote location, creating chronological Bible lessons, teaching them literacy, translating the Bible, discipling new believers, and so on.

Vision: Ethnos360 is committed to seeing thriving, mature churches planted amongst the least-reached people groups of the world. Maturity for one of these people groups will look like having God's Word in their heart language, being able to study and apply Scripture to their lives, that they identify themselves as Christ's body and take ownership of that, and that they are reaching their neighbors with the Gospel themselves. Gabriela hopes to one day be able to leave the people group she will have served knowing they can function as believers and as a church without the presence of missionaries any longer.

Ministry: We are partnering alongside indigenous pastors and believers to engage with the unreached people groups on and near our island. Our ministry seeks to provide an access, training, and support for our local partners as we go together into the cities and villages who have yet to hear the truth of Jesus Christ.

Vision: We are asking God for a gospel movement among the remaining 75 least-reached people groups in our region - in our generation.

Vision: Partnering with local and national Spanish leadership, we work to establish and renew biblical, effective leadership for growing communities of believers.

Ministry: Local - preaching/teaching ministry to local churches, particularly Segovia.

National Involvement - Foro de Liderazgo (Leadership Forum), a national board that oversees projects in support of national ministries: the Ephesus Project, a three-year, biblical equipping institute; the Oasis Project, leadership resourcing and renewal; “El Puente” (“The Bridge”) - facilitating local, regional and national initiatives to engage society with the Gospel.

In 2020 the Leadership Forum purchased the La Posada Conference Center in Navafría (Segovia), at which we currently serve as executive directors.

Ministry: Our family serves in various support roles for Misión Pro-Indígena, the Mexican partner organization for Ethnos360. Jordan’s primary ministry is as the IT Coordinator for the field of Mexico – maintaining the support base’s network, assisting with our church planting teams’ technology needs, developing resources to facilitate and simplify our coworkers’ ministries, and training both current and prospective missionaries in the best use of the technology resources God has provided.

Vision: As an organization, Ethnos360 is committed to planting mature churches among the least-reached people groups of the world – wherever they may be. One key aspect includes providing access to the entirety of God’s Word; another involves discipling believers to the point where the new church has sound local leadership, reproduces in the surrounding communities, and depends on the Lord rather than our day-to-day presence.

Ministry: Biblical preaching, group Bible studies, training in expositional preaching, studies in theology, Scripture memorization programs, English conversation with unbelievers, organization of Christian concerts in the city are some of the ministries and activities of "14:6 Vida." This association was formed by Rob and Karen for the purpose of presenting the transforming truths of Scripture in Toledo, Spain, a city in which only 0.5% of its residents are born-gain Christians. Its aim is to help non-believers encounter the truths concerning Christ; to edify believers from the evangelical community for service in their churches; and to form into a new church a body of believers that meets for worship in the association storefront. Additionally, Rob and Karen serve as president and treasurer of Camino Global en Esapana which has twelve couples ministering throughout Spain.

Vision: For our church planting ministry and our ministry to the evangelical community in Toledo is to see lives of people transformed through the truths of Scripture, to begin and grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, to be equipped to share the gospel of Christ with others, and to be prepared to serve in their family, in their church, and beyond.

We believe lies about Jesus must be exposed before the truth of Jesus can be believed.  That requires a thorough biblical and historical defense of who he claims to be—as our God and Creator, and as our Savior and Risen Lord.

By freeing people from lies, doubts and misconceptions—we gently move them toward a clearer, more comprehensive understanding of who Jesus is and his purpose for their lives.
