What is your ministry?
I am the CEO of Grace Ministries Foundation. I teach, counsel, and mentor in Grace Ministries as a full-time job. Our main message is the grace-centered mindset, our new identity in Christ, our intimate relationship with our heavenly Father, and our identification with Jesus. We hold approximately 10-12 pieces of one or two-day seminars, in a year. Add to the top of these we hold 6 pieces of ten-month courses in a year.
When did you trust Christ?
I made my decision to follow Jesus on December 27, 1987. Some months before that date, I started to read John's Gospel and began to feel that God was speaking to me. The first personal message was John 3:16, which deeply affected me. I thought that if such wonderful sentences were in this book, then I had to read it. I did not come from a religious background, so reading John was a wonderful experience. It took hold of me and brought me to the verge of conversion. The last step before my conversion was watching the film "Sun Brother, Moon Sister." I compared myself with the main character of the movie. I understood that I was not a good man but a sinner who had no sense of his life. It was painful and hopeful at the same time because I had already believed in God's love. I finally handed myself over to God. I confessed that I was a sinner and needed Jesus as my savior.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
It's hard to summarize 29 years of walking with Christ! The most crucial moment of my development was when I encountered the message of the Exchanged Life Conference, which is about our new identity and the identifying process with Jesus. That was in 1999. I understood grace much deeper after that. I was so enthusiastic that I joined a counseling course based on that program. After graduating from the course, I was involved in teaching. The practice of counseling others helped me develop a lot as a Christian. Another significant moment was when I studied the prophecies about Jesus in the book of Isaiah. These are the so-called Ebed-Jahveh songs. I came to understand what it means that Jesus emptied himself.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I hope to get advice to build into our practice, and my vision will be clearer. I think this is the most effective work in the body of Christ, but this activity needs the most significant investment and carries the most considerable risk. I am convinced that disciple-making is the only healthy method of our ministry's qualitative and quantitative increase.
The Forum is a huge blessing to me. I have started to implement a disciple-making system (that I learned at the Forum) in the field of counselling. I built in teachings into our materials which I heard at ELF. I am also going to participate in the Hungarian Leadership Forum this year. I want to return to ELF because I learn much and always get inspiration to develop our ministry. I enjoy the meetings with the other Hungarians.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
I am the chief executive officer of this foundation and a member of the advisory board simultaneously. I manage the weekday life of our ministry, and I keep a regular relationship with our volunteers and supporters. Our ministry has two divisions: teaching and counseling. I lead both divisions, where we started building the disciple-making model. On top of these, I keep seminars every month, four courses every week, and a counselling course every month. I cooperate with Sonship Academy, where I teach counseling as a guest teacher. My most important role is to be in a living relationship with our volunteers and create the conditions for them to enjoy this ministry.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
I want to help people change their mindset and their lives. People can deepen in the grace-centered mindset, which revolutionizes their lives as they experience the freedom from themselves that only Christ can give.
