Ladislav Gyugyi
I am the senior pastor of Golgotha Esztergom. We have a small church, so I do many things at the church, including playing the drums at worship, teaching, organising events, etc. I am also part of the Golgotha Church Hungarian leadership team. It is made up of eight leaders that oversee all the Golgotha churches in Hungary. I am also a Hope for Hungary ministry director, which is part of Every Home for Christ International ministry.
In December 1996, my friend took me to church after many conversations about God and the Bible. I finally gave my life to Jesus and got baptised on December 16th in a bathtub. It was a beautiful moment.
The most recent defining moment was when I realised that my identity was connected to my being a pastor. At first, I did not know what was wrong with me, but I felt depressed and lost because I could no longer be a full-time pastor and had to look for an additional job to support my family. Then, after listening to one of Tim Keller's sermons, I realised that I made an idol out of my ministry. It was a freeing moment to put my only trust in Jesus and find my identity in Him.
I love thinking about theology, so I expect to learn new things. I also hope to build new relationships to benefit my future ministry.
I have been a senior pastor of Golgotha Esztergom since 2006. Before that, I was an elder at the same church.
Because I have been faithful in my ministry as a senior pastor since 2006. I want to learn about leadership as I am one of the overseers of Golgotha Pastors in Hungary.
