Missionary Highlight

Rob & Audrey Chestnut (Stella and Adria)

Missionaries to the Czech Republic

Rob and Audrey served with Josiah Venture (JV) from 2011 to 2016, working with the English Camps team in the Czech Republic. After moving back to the U.S. for several years, where Rob served on staff at a church in Florida, they once again felt God leading them back to JV. They returned to the Czech Republic in August 2019 and currently live in the city of Ostrava, where they serve on Josiah Venture’s International Training Team. Rob’s focus is on developing disciplemaking resources and training leaders across Central and Eastern Europe to effectively serve and equip others in their local ministries. Audrey is using her Spiritual Direction training to support the JV staff through helping lead the Soul Care and Shepherding team, which is an arm of the International team. They have two daughters, Stella (7) and Adria (5).

This year the children who attended Sugar Grove VBS raised money to support another one of their teammates whose ministry is in Ukraine; Mykola Semenov. Our children raised nearly $3000 that will go towards a children’s ministry through Strong Faith Bible church with a focus on providing resources for children in the midst of war.
