David & Katerina Roney
Timothy and Hannah
From a young age, David felt God’s calling toward youth ministry, and after serving as an intern in Czech and Croatia, his desire grew to see young leaders equipped in Europe. In 2011, he moved to Latvia to serve with Josiah Venture, where he led the camp ministry for many years. Katka, like many other young people in Czech, first came in contact with Josiah Venture through English camps. A one-week camp during high school was life-changing; Katka accepted Christ as her Savior and began her journey as his disciple. In 2004, she joined Josiah Venture as full-time staff. In the summer of 2015, Katka moved from Czech to Latvia and joined the Josiah Venture team there. As they served together, David and Katka fell in love and married. In May 2020, God blessed them with twins Timothy and Hannah. David and Katka stepped into leading the JV Latvia team in the spring of 2024, and they desire to see young leaders and youth ministries look more like Jesus. They also serve together in a local youth ministry in Riga.
