Rycho & Noemi Bednarz

Simeon, Sara, Miriam, Rebeka

Noemi and Rycho grew up in Christian families and got married in 2005. They live in Ropice, Czech Republic, and care for 4 children—twins Simeon and Sára (12 years), Miriam (9), and Rebeka (7 years). They first encountered Josiah Venture (JV) when they founded their local Fusion ministry in their church in 2010. After half a year, they were asked if they would like to join the ministry and serve as full-time JV missionaries. Rycho left his job to join the mission, and served in JV Fusion until November 2018. He now works at a company that sells motorcycle equipment. Noemi joined the ministry in 2013, and has served in JV Fusion until February 2020. Noemi is currently working in the KAM (Josiah Venture's partner organization in Czech) office as an office worker.
