Bartosz Rodak is from Poland and is a student at the Higher Baptist Theological Seminary in Warsaw, Poland.
When did you trust Christ?
I grew up in a practicing Catholic home. From childhood, I had a strong conviction to seek God. When I received my Catholic confirmation, a priest gave me a Bible, and I began reading it regularly. As I studied Scripture, I started looking for a church that was more faithful to the Bible. When I was 18 years old, I decided to follow Jesus. I attended a Baptist church for a year, where I became convinced of the truth of the Gospel. During that time, I had friends who helped me understand the gospel and who were there to answer my questions about faith and support me in my spiritual growth.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
Attending a Baptist church for the first time, talking with people there, meeting with Christian friends, surrendering my life to Christ, reading the Bible regularly, and studying at a seminary.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
My wife attended the Forum last year, and she recommended it to me. I seek to deepen my knowledge, meet new people with similar experiences, and learn from them.
What is your ministry?
I now serve in my church. I preach regularly during worship services and lead Bible study groups. I am also a member of the church council, where I participate in leadership, decision-making, and the overall direction of the church’s ministry. In addition, I meet individually with church members and guests to provide pastoral care, spiritual guidance, and support in times of need. Through preaching, teaching, leadership, and personal ministry, I seek to serve the church faithfully and help others grow in their faith in Christ.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
I preached during Sunday services and led Bible study groups. I also served as a paramedic at a summer Christian youth camp, helping camp counsellors care for and supervise the youth.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
I am young and ambitious, and I desire to serve as a pastor.
