Fusion

The primary aim of Fusion is to help local churches reach out to un-churched youth through a network of youth rock/gospel choirs and performing arts groups, each which is based in and run by a local church. During weekly rehearsals, the youth hear the gospel message and see Christ at work in the leaders and other Christian members. This ministry is already helping 8 local churches in the Czech Republic and Latvia reach over 280 teens every week. Many of these have already put their faith in Christ and become active members of the local church community. God is now leading this ministry to expand all through Eastern Europe, including both year-round projects and music/performing arts "rock camps" and workshops.

Fusion - A choir with a difference

For a start, it sings rock and pop music. There are no pre-requisits to joining, it is open to all teenagers. It is a place where youth can not only learn to express themselves, but also learn new skills and abilities. In every concert there is usually somebody singing a solo, playing an instrument in the band, or even conducting the choir for the first time. The dramas and dance are written by the teenagers themselves. The concerts are a means to an end, not an end in themselves.

Key Attributes of Fusion: 

• Church - each Fusion group is based in and run by a local church community with the help of the Josiah Venture Fusion team.

• Culture - we reach unchurched youth through music and other media which are a part of their everyday lives.

• Creativity - we are all born with creativity. Fusion seeks to enable youth to draw out hidden abilities and use their creativity to the full.

• Community - each Fusion group should be a place where youth are loved and accepted for who they are, but challenged to look to someone higher for a true and full life. 

• Christ - the primary aim of Fusion is to share the Gospel in a relevant and life-changing way so that the youth can make an informed decision for Christ.
