Áron Szlávik is a worship leader and presbyter in training at his church in Hungary.
When did you trust Christ?
I grew up with a Christian mother and always had faith in God, but between ages 18 and 20, my faith became personal and I committed myself to Christ.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
Being involved in IFES and my youth group helped me grow and develop a more solid, practical faith.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I hope to gain new insights and tools to successfully lead the spiritual life of others and navigate hard times. I also want my motives and theological basis to become clearer, more true, and more biblical.
What is your ministry?
As part of Agora Christian Church, I lead worship and participate in church leadership and decision-making. I also lead worship at another church and am mentoring a university student through IFES, helping him dealing with challenges in his studies, ministries, personal life, and faith.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
I led a student group at my university for one year and served as a board member in IFES Hungary for three years. In September 2024, I started my 'probation time' to become a presbyter in my church.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
People tend to see me as trustworthy and responsible in my roles and tasks. They see me as having multiple talents in dealing with people, building community, and bearing loads. Through my involvement in many types of Christian communities, I have learned numerous lessons, often through my mistakes. I am looking for opportunities to be a better servant and co-worker of God to impact the lives of others.
