Helena Mrázková is a teacher and disciple-maker in the Czech Republic.
When did you trust Christ?
I'm a pastor's daughter, and I decided to trust Christ when I was 16. I had been influenced by a non-Christian community I belonged to, which I had loved, and the church mission children's club where I served. However, I decided to follow the way of God's Kingdom because it meant safety and sureness forever.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
The most defining moment of my faith was planting a new Free Evangelical church in Ostrava with a team led by my husband (starting in 2015). Additionally, I have felt the personal presence of God's love through serving in the Christian scout movement since 2022.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
At the Forum, I hope to improve the practical skills needed for my role as operations manager. I would like to learn how to lead a small team with a very large agenda effectively, as well as the specifics of church volunteer management versus employee management.
What is your ministry?
I am a member of the Dorostová Unie team, a national interdenominational ministry for ages 4-15 and leaders. In my role, I teach courses for leaders of Christian children's clubs. I also lead projects such as our podcast and evaluation tools. Additionally, I am a disciple-maker of two young leaders, a mentor for ten newly managed Christian scout clubs, and a leader of a scout club for 25 children ages 10-15, mostly from unbelieving families.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
I have worked with Dorostová Unie for three years. Before this, I was with ADRA for seven years as the coordinator of 400 volunteers. In the local church, I led the children's club for three years and was the senior leader of the Christian scout club for four years. Additionally, I spent 15 years as a leader at the summer outdoor camp for children, two years as a church planter, and five years as a Bible study group leader.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
Dorostová Unie is a successful startup that needs improvement. I have a lot of ministry experience, but not exactly the kind of experience needed to lead an organisation through this process. This is why I need the resources and help of the Forum.
