Katrin Kikerpill
Born and living in Tartu, Estonia, Kati has been connected with Going UP (a ministry that is now called KOMA, which is Josiah Venture’s partner organization in Estonia) since 2002. She first became involved by attending the youth events organized by Going UP and then began to help out with different youth events and English Camps. This led to a calling by God to work as a youth center director for a year, and she is now working full-time as a pastor’s assistant. She joined Josiah Venture full-time in 2008. She does administrative stuff (bills, reports, accounting, charts etc.), works with different teams, helps to host, works with office managing and translates when necessary. She currently studies youth work, and youth have always been passion. She sees that God has a plan for youth in Eastern Europe and is excited to be apart of it.

Tarmo & Agne Sirkel
Tarmo was born in Estonia. Since 2002, he volunteered and helped with Going Up (a ministry that is now called KOMA, which is Josiah Venture’s partner organization in Estonia) in Tartu, Estonia.

Daniel Vinalass
Although Daniel was born in Columbus, Ohio, his roots are Estonian. Both his grandfather and father are Estonian. When Daniel was just seven, his father moved their family to Estonia for what he thought would be a year of teaching English and getting to know his native country and people. However, one year turned into two, and two turned into many more…Estonia was home by then! Daniel began to serve in the Going UP ministry in 2001. He is currently the assistant director, worship leader, youth ministry co-director, and on the creative team for the ministry. He is also studying landscape architecture at the Estonian University of Life Sciences. Daniel has two children – Sony Ericsson (3 months old) and little iPod (1 year old in November).
