Welcome to the Blog

Hey family and friends, I have created this blog in order to keep all of you informed about my upcoming summer in Serbia. With little to potentially no access to a computer and a lack of time, I will not be able to contact you each personally via email, Skype. etc. Therefore, I will be posting as often as possible on here. I just want to thank you for your support toward me already in some form whether prayfully, financially, encouragement, telephone calls, or other conversations. Please feel free to follow and read about what Christ is doing in both my life and the lives of Serbians as this summer 's journey unravels!

Our Name's Origin

The name Josiah Venture comes from 2 Chronicles 34. "Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem" (vs. 1). Josiah began to seek the Lord at age sixteen. He instructed his people to clear the land of false idols and to repair the Temple of the Lord. It was then that they rediscovered "the book of the Law in the house of the LORD" (vs. 15). Josiah was cut to the heart when he found out what was written in the Law. He realized that his people were not living how God had instructed them to live, so Josiah set out to make a radical change. "Josiah removed all the abominations from all the lands belonging to the sons of Israel, and made all who were present in Israel to serve the LORD their God. Throughout his lifetime they did not turn from following the LORD God of their fathers" (vs. 33). By the time he was 26, God had used Josiah to bring revival to the land, rebuild the house of God, and restore the Word of God to its central place. (taken from missionary Joe Brooks in Latvia) ----------------------------------- We want to see God raise up young leaders like Josiah all over Eastern Europe; young people who love the Lord and who will lead their nations back to Him! In Serbia, we are seeking to train and equip young leaders who will be the ones to lead their country back to Him as young Josiah did!
