Katarina grew up in Slovenia and began serving with Josiah Venture back in 2001. After graduating from Multnomah Bible College in 2003, David joined the JV team in Slovenia as a one-year intern. His passion and love for the people of Slovenia quickly grew, and that internship turned into a long-term commitment. After working together for 2.5 years, David and Katarina began dating and were eventually married in September of 2006. After serving 15 years together in their local church in Ljubjana, David as the youth pastor and Katka leading the worship team, they felt a clear call to a new city. In 2018, they moved to Koper, where they are passionate about helping grow the local youth ministry, continuing to train and equip worship leaders around the country, and developing a new songwriting ministry for Slovene churches.
