Aleksandar Andric serves in various leadership roles in his church in Serbia.
When did you trust Christ?
My personal faith journey began when I met a pastor in my hometown who shared parts of the Gospel with me. A few years later, I attended a Christian conference organised by EUS / IFES / InterVarsity Serbia, where my eyes were finally opened, and I accepted Christ into my life.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
My faith was definitely strengthened by serving in a church and later by being part of a leadership team in the EUS / IFES / InterVaristy ministry in Serbia. Through those experiences, I also met my wife, so they all reflect growth in every aspect of my life.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I hope to gain deeper mentorship, practical leadership training, and wisdom that will help me grow both personally and professionally. As a young entrepreneur and ministry leader, I am eager to learn from experienced mentors who have already walked similar paths and can provide guidance on navigating challenges in business, leadership, and ministry. I am especially interested in learning how to lead people well, build sustainable organisations, and develop financial wisdom that allows businesses and ministries to grow in a healthy way. I also hope to connect with other young leaders who share similar values, as those relationships can create lasting partnerships and mutual encouragement. Ultimately, my goal is to take what I learn through YRM and apply it in my business, my church, and the wider community. I want the knowledge and experience gained through the program to multiply through the people I work with and serve.
What is your ministry?
Together with my wife, we help strengthen a young church with many young people. I serve on the worship team and partially lead it. I also help with much-needed logistics, communication, and organisation of the church and its activities. In addition, I remain connected with EUS / IFES / InterVarsity. I use my skills in video production to promote the organisation’s ministry and to record and capture important moments and topics we share.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
My previous roles include leading a student ministry, assisting with various logistical tasks, and organising events. A big part of it also involved attending and serving at different leadership and Christian events to further strengthen my skills and faith.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
Investing in my ministry means investing in a growing network of people and communities that are committed to faith, service, and leadership development. Over the past several years, I have been actively involved in church life, student ministry, and community initiatives that reach hundreds of people across Serbia through gatherings, mentorship, and outreach events.
