Jim & Lina Miller

Jim and Lina are thrilled to rejoin Josiah Venture after a decade of service with International Teams. Earlier from 1994-1999, the Miller family served with JV in Havirov, Czech Republic developing a model youth ministry, working in administration, and participating in summer evangelistic English Camps. More recently from 2015-2022 they have served as the JV Germany country leaders in Leipzig.

In the fall of 2022 Jim and Lina were asked by leadership to join the Czech Josiah Venture Team (KAM). They are providing shepherd care for the second culture missionaries serving there, as well as, discipling young Czechs and serving in the Havirov church they had helped to start 25 years earlier.
