Mára & Kseniya Dušek

Kseniya and Mára both met Jesus at Josiah Venture (JV) camps in 2012. Kseniya in Ukraine; Mára in the Czech Republic. They, then, met each other in 2017 at the JV Media Academy and got married in 2018.

Kseniya and Mára both started serving full time in the fall of 2018. First in the Exit Tour ministry, and then they both gradually transitioned to JV's Communications team—Kseniya as an admin as of March of 2019, and Mára as a photographer as of December of 2019. They are both thankful to be able to be serving with Josiah Venture full time.

Kseniya and Mára are thrilled to be working on communicating what God is doing through JV as both of them are examples of its success in equipping young leaders. Being witnesses of what the Lord has done in their own lives and telling the story of how God is working through almost 400 JV missionaries is an honor for them.
