What is your ministry?
I am a teacher of theology, Christian ethics, and pastoral work. I am the Head of the Publishing board at the Biblical Institute and Head of the Documentation-research Center for Protestant History in the Croatian Context. In my local church, I serve as the associate pastor.
When did you trust Christ?
I was born in a Christian family. I went to church from a young age and was involved in all church activities. I attended Sunday school regularly, participated in church choir, and was an announcer for TWR radio shows. When I was seven, the Lord called me to serve him for the first time. But I did not follow him. Instead, I slowly distanced myself from God and the Church. That situation was until 1991, when I ultimately gave my life to Christ and called him my Lord and Master for all life. I was 15 years old and my pastor baptised me at that time.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
After my conversion, I participated in worship, choir, Sunday School, and Christian camps. After high school, I studied graphic arts and later theology. In post-graduate programs, I received a master's degree in theology and economics. Then, I received a Ph.D. in Theology. Today, I work as a professor and researcher at the Bible Institute in Zagreb and as an assistant pastor at the Dubrava Baptist Church in Zagreb.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
ELF will be for my encouragement and dedication. I will receive new ideas for pastoral ministry and Church work. Also, it is an excellent opportunity to Network with other professors and pastors.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
In church, I led worship services, Sunday School, and the construction group for the church building. In business, I managed five printing factories from 50 to 500 employees.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
Someone should invest in my ministry because they will invest in scientific research and pastoral work that will positively affect the Evangelical Church in Croatia.
