Catherine Cook

Cathy’s desire to serve the next generation, her heart for Europe, and her love of summer camps all collided when she went on a vision trip with Josiah Venture (JV) in the spring of 2025. Her eyes were opened to the need in Central and Eastern Europe, and through prayer and guidance, she rerouted her life to pursue a path of mission work. She will be moving to Slovakia in the winter of 2027; while there, she will use her gifts and abilities to serve in the local church, connect with the youth in her city, and support the local Josiah Venture ministry, TCKompas, as the intern director. She never dreamed her life would go in this direction, but now that she is on her way, she can’t imagine any other path.
