I recently moved my family to another city to plant a church and spread the gospel there. In addition, I support churches surrounding my region with sermons and help them organise evangelism events. I also organise Christian camps for Christian and nonchristian youth. I also have helped my dad create a peaceful Christian job site for 50,000 people.
Being at the Forum is good for my soul and my understanding. At the Forum, I can access many resources and receive encouragement. Every time I attend, I am forced to think outside the box. The Forum's teachers and leaders help me see things I have not seen before.
The Forum equips me with new tools. All I learn—I use. I try to share these tools with as many people as possible. Poland does not have a good Christian academic society. The Forum is the only place to receive a robust Christian education in our country.
I was previously working as a youth leader in our Baptist church. I began working with youth when I was 16-years-old. I was responsible for a team of four additional leaders caring for 30 young Christians. I was hired by the church's staff because they were challenged getting through to those young people. I was also involved in church planting activities and organizing Christian English camps.
Our youth events have grown into a network, and I don't think we can continue to grow without proper preparation and specific knowledge. In June, we will start a new church plant, and I believe attending the Forum will be vital to our success. I want to learn to be the best leader and church planter. Young people are the future of our country. Unfortunately, most young people in Poland grow up either Catholic or atheistic. I need help to reach young people for Jesus. I need all the advice and support to help the church through this transition.
