Elżbieta Hawrus is a GIS Specialist and a leader on her church's technical team in Poland.
When did you trust Christ?
I first trusted Christ in 2010 at a youth camp in Teen Ranch Kopanica. I was 14 years old at the time.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
Through the struggles I endured during my five years of studying, I have gotten closer to God. When I moved back to my hometown, I really started serving God with my time, resources, and creativity in various ways. It showed me how important service is in the Christian life and in my own growth.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I hope to gain new perspectives on serving and being a leader at my church. I hope to receive encouragement and expand my horizons in what can be done, even in a small church. Additionally, I hope to get some practical knowledge on leadership.
What is your ministry?
I am a leader on my church's technical team, and I manage their social media—mostly Facebook, but we are working on expanding. I am also a leader of an at-home Bible study for young adults that takes place in my apartment once a week. Lastly, I organise meetings for women at my church. I have also been a youth leader during Christian camps at Teen Ranch Kopanica.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
I am very involved in church life and activities, but because I live in a smaller city, I don't have bigger horizons in everything I do. For the past two months, I have also received a word from God that He has something bigger for me and a more demanding service. I think this conference might be the beginning of some great changes for me and my church.
