Diana Bocsa
Diana, also known as DU, grew up in a great Christian family in Romania. Her relationship with Jesus started when she was very young, but she completely gave her heart to Him when she was 14. In 1998, she went to an English camp and was challenged to pray for her non-Christian friends and share the Gospel with them. That English camp was her first contact with Josiah Venture. Soon after, she got involved in the youth ministry of the church she was attending in Arad. In 2001, she clearly understood her calling to work with teenage girls. Today she lives in Arad, leading a small group of girls and is involved in the youth ministry of the church she attends, Metanoia. She is also investing in and working with young women from different regions in Romania who are discipling girls throughout the country under the umbrella of BIG (Josiah Venture’s partner organization in Romania).
