Justin & Lucie Holden

Justin and Lucie had served in Czech for a few years before joining Josiah Venture in 2021. They both received their call to missions in childhood: Lucie served in her local church, which Justin joined when he moved to the Czech Republic in 2013. The two have a strong desire to empower young leaders to influence the world around them and to see strong healthy local churches.

Lucie and Justin work in various positions—from leading youth conferences to equipping leaders and e-coaching those facing addiction. They live in Liberec, where they lead the young adult's ministry and a Bible study group in their local church. Their most important disciple, little Atalia, joined them in 2022. They desire to be a family of disciples who make disciples.
