info_outlineBartek Wilkosz has been a Josiah Venture missionary in Poland for three years. His first involvement with Josiah Venture was in 2014 when he participated in a camp called Growth Academy, organized by El Dorado—one of JV Poland’s national projects. El Dorado’s activities aim to help young people discover Christ and his calling for their lives and equip teenage leaders to serve in their local youth ministries. Bartek’s service with the project has continued to grow, and in 2019, he became a part-time Coordinator. In July 2021, he became a full-time JV missionary and now serves as the Director of El Dorado.
Bartek's dream is that Poland will one day be known all over the world as a nation of followers of Christ that sends hundreds of thousands of missionaries to other countries.
