Our team of volunteers went to the Czech Republic over the summer of 2022 and these are their thoughts leading up to, during, and after the trip.
Why I Do What I Do
“Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people” Ephesians 6:7 (NIV)
I am so excited to be on this mission trip, and as we are preparing, God has been teaching and reminding me lately to remember who it’s all for. Why do I labor and strive?

“I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:12b-13 (NIV)

This summer Family Bible Church will be partnering with Josiah Venture to help bring the Gospel to the eastern region of the Czech Republic. Josiah Venture’s vision is to build disciples among the youth in Central and Eastern Europe in such a way that whole societies are transformed. This might seem like a big task. But we serve a big God. Find out who’s going, when we’re going, what we’ll be doing, and how you can help.
