Marc & Olya Meland

Ukraine

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 return, 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.
