Jany & Lenka Šimočko
Šimon
Jany accepted Christ in 2001, after attending a youth camp at the age of 16. At that camp, God began to stir his heart to work with youth. Two years later, Jany joined his youth group’s leadership team to help organize their first English camp in Prešov, Slovakia. In 2006, Jany took the leadership role for the church's’ evangelistic English camps. He poured his heart and soul into caring for his team in order to reach students for Christ before passing the baton.
Lenka came from a traditional Christian family. A friend from school took her to youth group and camps and invited her to join a small group. It was during this time, she slowly, in a few years, accepted Christ personally. Soon after, she helped and became a part of the leadership team for the local junior high ministry.
In 2010, Jany joined Josiah Venture. He is helping with English camps, but his main role is organizing the volunteer team for JV Slovakia’s annual youth leaders conference. Lenka joined JV in September 2014 and now she is serving as Director of EXIT Tour in Slovakia. They were married in October 2014, and together are actively involved in the Žilina Lutheran youth group discipling teenagers and leading small groups.
