Eka Atanelishvili is the Sunday school and youth ministry leader in her local church in Georgia.
When did you trust Christ?
My grandmother used to go to church and would take me with her when I was a child. I grew up attending the church’s Sunday school, but I consciously dedicated my life to God when I was 15 years old. This happened at a camp.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
When I began serving as a Sunday school teacher and ministering to children, it marked a turning point in my life—both in my Christian walk and in clarifying my professional priorities. After about twelve years, I stepped into the role of Sunday school ministry leader. This was a different kind of responsibility, one that shifted me to a new level in my Christian walk. From time to time, I also served in camp ministry, where we often had to help break down worldly attitudes. My team and I served together, stood by each other, grew together, supported one another, and prayed together.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I believe that meeting people from different countries and sharing experiences with one another would be very beneficial. I might be able to apply their experiences in my own ministry, introduce new ideas, and make it more creative. I also believe that bringing together believers from various parts of the world can spark significant spiritual transformations, and it would be a wonderful opportunity to meet new people.
What is your ministry?
In my church, I am the Sunday school leader responsible for preparing the annual program, as well as encouraging and supporting the spiritual growth of the teachers. As the youth ministry leader, I work with a team to plan and carry out ministry activities. I also organise a camp program.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
Investing in my training and ministry helps equip me to serve others more effectively, bring spiritual growth to children and youth, develop creative and impactful programs, and foster connections among believers that can inspire and strengthen faith.
