Claire Patty

Claire Patty grew up in the Czech Republic as the daughter of missionaries, Dave and Connie Patty. From a young age, she was impacted by being raised in a cross-cultural setting and seeing the gospel transform lives. After graduating from a Czech national school, she completed her BA in Bible and Children’s Ministry at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. An internship in 2016 at Mission Training International equipped her to provide pre-field training and debriefing for missionary kids and their families. It was there that God deepened her desire to see these children cared for on the field. Claire now serves the Josiah Venture team as the JV Kids director and her role involves coming alongside children of missionaries and their families across Central and Eastern Europe to serve and equip them in the challenges they face, helping them thrive in their local churches and countries where they live. She is based out of the Czech Republic.
