What is your ministry?
I am part of the Crossroads Church worship team. I am an assistant to Mihail Stefanov in our church's Apologetics course. For the last two years, I have been leading the Apologetics Workshop of our Crossroads Youth Summer Camp, in which I designed the programme and taught Apologetics for several days.
When did you trust Christ?
I was born and raised in a Christian family. I do not have a specific "key moment" that has started my faith. Instead, my Christian growth has been gradual through the years as I have been involved in ministry throughout my life. If I still have to pick a time and event that significantly impacted my relationship with Jesus, it was when I was 13, home alone, and had my first sincere prayer. Nothing spectacular at first sight, but I believe it helped me realise how close my God is.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
As stated above, one of the most defining moments for me was when I realised I could have honest conversations with God about everything in my life. This led me to create consistent worship, prayer, and Bible-reading discipline. Many years later, I experienced a difficult period in my life that led me to loneliness. However, during this time, I started diving more into theology and Apologetics, which expanded the horizons of my faith. Mihail Stefanov is one of the people that I met during that challenging period. He served me a lot and encouraged me to persevere and keep learning about Jesus.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I believe that I will gain more knowledge in general. I also expect to get new perspectives on topics I feel comfortable with and way too "safe" with.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
My first leadership role was in the teens' ministry worship team. Then, I became the worship leader of the youth (young adults ministry). At that time, I also became the music director of the church worship team. I was an assistant to the leaders of the teens' ministry, as I supported them by preaching at regular meetings. I was also involved in organisation of teen camps. In the spring of 2023, I was part of the youth ministry leadership.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
I am committed to growing in knowledge to serve even more people and lead them to Jesus. I also have a deep passion for reaching non-believers, as I have been using Apologetics a lot in my evangelism at work and with friends.
