Croatia

General Description

Although Croatia is considered to be a religious country, many have never heard the gospel and have not experienced freedom in Christ or the joy of Christian living. 

Josiah Venture in Croatia is undergoing a lot of change and it determines the best way to reach and disciple the next generation. Interns are vital in this process to establish connections with existing churches and the wider community. 

Interns in Croatia serve as a bridge between the local church to young people in the community. They help the local church and ministry team plan, prepare, and run evangelistic camps and are heavily involved in relational evangelism and discipleship. 

Croatia’s summer internship requires flexibility, self-initiative, discipline, and deep dependence on God. If you want to be challenged and strengthened in your walk with the Lord, witness the thrill of young people discovering who Jesus is, and if you want to experience real life on the mission field, then Croatia is the right place for you. An internship in Croatia can deepen your understanding and compassion for the lost and will refine your dependence on the Lord–it can truly be a life-changing experience.
