About

As an intern in the Czech Republic in 2013 with Josiah Venture (JV), Julia experienced first hand how a summer of serving and being mentored in ministry can radically change a young leader’s life. That summer opened Julia up to the movement of God in Central and Eastern Europe.

From 2021 to 2024 Julia lived in the Czech Republic and served on JV’s International Summer Ministry Team. After three and a half years of living in Europe, Julia returned to the US to focus specifically on mobilizing interns to serve in Central and Eastern Europe. She loves to care for young leaders by coordinating the application and onboarding experience for all Josiah Venture interns. Julia and her husband Logan live in Colorado.

The Finish Line is the Starting Line

It was June of 2013 and my exhausted intern team dug deep to find the last of our energy to cross the finish line in Krakow’s Old Town. We had begun The Amazing Race in Kyiv, Ukraine and three days later we had bonded as a team, worked out some frustration cross-stitching miniature flags, replaced our jet lag with adrenaline, navigated across borders, traveled by foot, train, bus, tram, and marshrutka, experienced each other’s strengths and weaknesses, and seen each other in stress. That summer, as we served together with local churches doing camps across the Czech Republic, the Amazing Race had given us a shared experience to reference when we had to make decisions or encountered a conflict.
