When did you trust Christ?
I was four years old when I first understood the gospel from my parents, who told my sister and me about what Jesus did for us ever since we were born. I prayed that evening for Jesus to enter my heart. A few years later, when I was 12, we had a unique Sunday morning service in our local church, with a beautiful choir and a calling to repentance at the end of the sermon. I felt a strong drive to raise my hand and make this decision public. In October 2009, I got baptised together with my sister in our local church, where we have been serving ever since.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I expect to gain much fresh knowledge in various scientific fields and a deeper understanding of the complexity of God's creation and mind. I also hope to improve my reasoning and argumentative skills and gain insights into different perspectives on approaching various questions and doubts that others may present. Last but not least, I expect to gain valuable mentors and people who can help me with my questions and always give good advice on scientific and spiritual matters.
What is your ministry?
I am currently working as a simulation engineer at a German engineering company, where I am responsible for setting up simulations for the Zeiss mirrors found in the ASML lithography machines. I have also just started my Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering, focusing mainly on sheet metal forming processes. In the future, I would like to be part of a scientific initiative where people passionate about science can learn from various scientific fields while learning how science points to Christianity. I want to be part of a future apologetics group for young people in churches and not only where there can be regular meetings touching various questions.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
I am a Ph.D. student in the Industrial Engineering field.
