Julia Budd

Julia first came to the Czech Republic in 2013 as an intern with Josiah Venture. That summer, she saw how camps could be a powerful tool for discipleship as young people encountered Jesus for the first time and young leaders grew as disciple-makers in their local churches. That summer internship, a semester in Lithuania, and short-term trips to Poland and Czech Republic confirmed her desire to be a part of making disciples in Central and Eastern Europe. In 2021, Julia joined the International Team as a coordinator for international summer ministries. She is thrilled to live in the Czech Republic while serving locally and internationally.
