Ben & Kristy Williams

Marissa and Dylan

Ben and Kristy first served as high school students in the Czech Republic with Josiah Venture’s (JV) English camps in 1997. That exposure to peer evangelism started them on a journey with Josiah Venture to share Christ with the youth of Eastern Europe. In 2002, they served as summer interns in Czech before marrying in January 2003. For the next three consecutive years, Ben and Kristy led short-term high school teams from southern New Jersey to Czech for camp ministry. During these summer trips, they felt God calling them into full-time missions. Josiah Venture suggested that they help launch a new team in Ukraine. In January 2007, they moved to Lviv, Ukraine. After serving as camp directors and in a local youth group for several years, they began to lead the Josiah Venture Ukraine team in 2011. Ben and Kristy serve in a dynamic local church, train the youth of Ukraine, volunteer with the Department of Education, and teach and equip leaders across Central and Eastern Europe.
