History

Everyone needs to know the basics. In Josiah Venture we have long needed discipleship tools to fill the gap between when a person trusts Christ and when they are trained in leadership. Elements is a desperately needed tool that fills this gap. It focuses on the basic Elements of our faith but it is also engaging, relevant and presented in a way that captures a person’s emotions and heart and not just their head.

The Elements project has taken over 1 year to complete and has involved 100’s of hours of work from people inside and outside of Josiah Venture. The Elements DVD itself contains 18 videos from 9 different countries as well as 10 lessons translated into the 11 languages where JV currently works plus English. Elements lessons are in Czech, Polish, Slovak, Slovenian, Croatian, Serbian, Romanian, Latvian, Estonian, Ukrainian and Russian. There are over 500 pages of documents on this DVD – over 8 gigabytes of video and lessons! In short it has been a long year with a lot of people going above and beyond to make it happen.

Dave Patty: Director and President Josiah Venture; “This tool is global in perspective, since students will hear testimonies of young people from across the world. It is interactive, Biblical, and designed so that students can lead their friends. I highly recommend it as a cutting-edge follow up resource for your ministry.”
