Jan Vopalecky

I run an online Christian magazine- Ethos. I am an elder in the local assembly of about 100 members. My ministry includes preaching, organizing, making plans, encouraging others to preach, and encouraging participation in worship. I am a member of a publications board. I am a member of a local mission board. I also serve as President of the denominational board.
I first trusted Christ when I was eleven years old. I was with my family, and confessed my sins and accepted God’s forgiveness. I chose then to let God lead my life.
Being a part of the local church helped define my faith. There were also many believers who helped to influence me in my walk with God.
I look forward to seeing examples of what others do in their churches. I am eager to make new contacts and build relationships with other leaders. I also hope for some consultation to gain wisdom and information from others.
I have served as an elder of a local assembly during my ministry. I have also worked for the Christian magazine Ethos. In addition, I have served as a member of the denomination board.
I am working to develop my gifts for broader use, and having someone invest in my training would help me grow. The gifts I am seeking to grow in are- preaching, writing, organizing, and leading.
