Jade and Jana Alger

Jade and Jana are serving God in Slovakia, where they have long felt a calling. Jana is from a small village in Slovakia and Jade is from the USA. In 1999, Jade first visited Slovakia during a study abroad semester with Covenant College. A few years later, he met Jana through mutual missionary friends when she was working in Tennessee for a summer. After marrying in 2005, they spent many years in America, but continued to have a burden to see God’s work done in Central Europe. Through prayer, they both felt a strong sense that God was inviting them to pursue ministry work in Slovakia. So in 2019, they both moved to Europe with faith that God would open the right door. Soon after, they connected with Trans World Radio (TWR) and related to the vision of spreading the message of hope across cultures.

Jade is part of TWR's global video team, working with partners around the world to capture stories of how God is changing lives through media. These stories empower our ministry partners and help share the message of Jesus with even more people. 

Jana supports TWR's ministry partners in Central and Eastern Europe through project coordination, relationship management, budgeting and reporting. She also helps coordinate a discipleship video project for the Roma community in Slovakia, using her own language to personally connect with viewers who ask questions or request prayer.

Jade and Jana enjoy using their God-given talents to help spread the hope of Jesus around the world.
