Marc & Olya Meland

Marc first learned of Josiah Venture (JV) in 2009 when helping out at a summer camp in Slovenia. His heart was drawn to the people in Central and Eastern Europe. God gave him an ever increasing desire to come back, so in 2012, Marc returned to serve for six months in Hungary. After his short-term assignment was over, he chose to stay and serve full time, partnering with a local church to build relationships with young people and discipling them to be like Jesus. He is also using his passion for soccer to lay the foundations of a sports ministry. Marc and Olya were married in 2018 and serve  with JV in Ukraine to reach the youth of that country.
