Summer time is always different from the rest of the year. It is mission oriented and there is so many opportunities to spend time with people. For us as ministry team it was a time when we were serving mostly with our local churches in our regions. And it was also time to rest and relax. This is a collection of our journal notes.RACHELIn June I went to Austria to continue my studies at TCM

Three April days reserved for a conference of Czech leaders and Christians in ministry were too short to fully enjoy the program and digest all the information, testimonies, social activities and moments of prayer and worship. Two seminars were offered to the conference participants in the morning teaching blocks– „The Church“ (about the Bride of Christ) and „I choose you“ (about marriage). The

Even though news of Obama in Prague has been getting a lot of coverage here, there is some more important news. The first new Czech translation of the Bible has been released a week before Easter. Czech scholars have been translating the Bible for over 15 years into the only available modern language translation of Scripture in this country. The release has been covered by news shows and radio

In the first week of March Rachel, Zuzka, Lucka and Lenka met in Malenovice hotel to spend 24 hours of intense team work. Originally we were planning to go to Olomouc to visit Agnes and to spend our retreat there but her little Klara had been sick for a while and Agnes wasn't feeling well either. But she was able to join us through Skype for all the important part of our meeting.It was a busy

In the middle of November Women’s ministry organized the first Eve to Eve Conference in history. The main theme of the event was spiritual motherhood and discipleship among women. Our speaker was Ewa Pieszka – a wise godly woman from Poland. Danuta Pokorna was our translator and also gave her testimony about how God had called her to become a part of Eve to Eve ministry as one of the counselors.

You have probably noticed a new picture of our team. Yes. God is faithful and after bringing Zuzka Vackarova in summer to the Women's ministry team to become the coordinator of Eve to Eve project, He has been also working in the heart of Rachel Benesova. Rachel feels a calling to step into the Women's ministry and to join us in our mission to support women leaders in local churches. We all

Lately we have been focusing on creating some materials that would support women’s ministries in local churches. A Women’s Conference Manual is ready as well as a Girls‘ Retreat Manual (both of those giving guidelines and advice on how to organize such events) . We also created have a Small group Bible study on the book of James called "Show Me Your Faith". For more information about materials:

After 3 years of existence of our team we would like to inform you about the new developement in women’s ministry. We are in the middle of many changes. A lot of those are connected with a ministry/job switch or a decreasing involvement of the team members in Josiah Venture ministry. After searching and praying for several months we experience that God is showing us the new direction for women’s

Dear friends,Just a couple of days ago I came back from a mission’s trip to Lviv, Ukraine. It has been a great trip, challenging in many ways. Many of you helped me significantly to put together all the funds needed for this trip and many of you were prayer shields and supporters in the Spirit. If you keep reading you will find out that both finances and prayers were playing a huge role during

In January we had another Eve to Eve retreat for girls where they could talk openly about sexuality, dating, relationships and the biblical perspective on these issues. These two days long retreats help young women to build non-formal relationships with older women from their communities and to make some important decisions about their approach to sexuality. Many girls can start the process of

We "dedicated" the beginning of this year to creating materials for women leaders to use them at the women´s small groups or different events. Lucka works on the a biblical study of the Epistle of James. Leah writes a manual for youth leaders "Experiencing God" - organizing a retreat just for girls with experiential learning.

It is great joy to see women serving other women in their church. These are women from the Brethern church in Vsetin whose desire is to see the women they disciple grow in the relationship with Christ and expect them to disciple others when the time comes.

This year's JV conference was attended by more than 160 people from 11 countries mostly from central and eastern Europe. We had a great opportunity to practice different languages [especially Radka who refused to use English to speak to our slavic brothers and sisters], to hear a lot of great seminars and to share about the ministry happening in different countries.You may be questionning the
