What is your ministry?
I am currently serving as a worship leader in my local church. I also work with a student outreach group, preparing study groups and camps. I help with recording Slovenian Christian worship music.
When did you trust Christ?
As a kid, I grew up in a Roman Catholic family of four. I have always somehow believed God does exist. I was part of Catholic Sunday school but never really engaged with the Bible. I didn’t want to believe it, and I refused to believe in God. It was a time when I was in a dark place regarding my self-image, and my relationships in school were not the best either. As I finished my final year of high school, I was invited to attend a Christian outreach camp called “English camp,” organised by a local evangelical church in Ljubljana, Slovenia. During this camp, I was pleasantly surprised to meet a group of Christian people around my age, and through our interactions, I was able to develop strong friendships with them. As a result of these newfound friendships, I was inspired to start attending church and learn more about the Christian faith. As I read His Word, the Lord, in His kindness, was patient with me and opened my eyes through these first years of college so that I have come to know the magnificent greatness of Christ and the salvation He provided. I know today that my life, my friendship with the Lord, and the knowledge of Him were all given to me by the Heavenly Father because of His goodwill towards me. I praise and honour Him for that.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
At first, it was just being exposed to a group of Christians at an English camp who helped me see Christianity in a different light than what I believed it to be growing up as a Roman Catholic. After I started attending church, reading the Bible for myself helped me see my sin and the cure that the Lord provided.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I have built connections, been encouraged to press on in my ministry, received multiple valuable resources, and connected with other Slovene Christian leaders.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
I have served as a youth leader, organised outreach camps, served as an instrumentalist and sound engineer on worship teams, served as a sound tech at multiple Christian conferences, and helped with studio recordings of Christian worship music.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
I desire to serve the Lord in this area. I would love to equip others to do the same since writing/translating, producing, and recording biblically sound worship music has only recently started in Slovenian evangelical circles. I would love to help create a good foundation for future worship leaders, songwriters, artists, etc.
