When did you trust Christ?

I grew up in a Roman Catholic family. My parents often talked with me about Christianity and God. Faith was essential in our home. My dad always wanted to know God better. He started reading the Bible, and soon after, he gave his life to Jesus and joined the evangelical community. My mom did the same. My younger sister and I were teenagers at that time. But we noticed the difference between merely going to church and living for God. I was seeking God and truth. When I was 16, I went to a Christian camp, trusted Jesus, and committed my life to follow Him. I prayed a simple prayer from a small book—4 Spiritual Laws. I know I am loved and forgiven by God.

What do you hope to gain from participating?

From participating in the YRM, I hope for significant growth in my teaching abilities, allowing me to communicate ideas more effectively and inspire others. I expect to renew and develop my passion for Bible study. I hope to deepen my understanding of God's Word. Thinking about this program, I assume it enriches my ability to engage with people and educate others in meaningful ways. Also, I would love to support and encourage other participants and receive the same from them. I will be happy to get to know women with similar roles in ministry and family.

What is your ministry?

My husband and I are part of the leadership team in our church. We have three kids, so I recognise them as my main disciples. I disciple ladies and offer counselling, coaching, mentoring, and Bible study. I lead the kid's ministry in the church and work with volunteers in this ministry. Last year, I created a curriculum for two groups of kids (ages 3-6 and 7-10) for all school years for Sunday school. I am also a leader for Poland's women's ministry called WWWC. It is focused on internal healing by Jesus. I support my husband in his leadership role and projects. I organise and manage evangelistic projects and ladies' conferences. My husband and I help and support marriages and families as counsellors. I am also a therapist.

What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?

Since I trusted in Jesus, I have loved to study the Bible. As a young girl, I led a Bible study for my friends. Then, I was one of the youth pastors in my church, and I still focused on teaching the Word of God and leading Bible groups. During my studies, I was a volunteer at Cru and one of the student leaders. It was a time when I grew a lot in my skills and had a chance to practice Bible study in many student groups. I joined Cru as a full-time missionary when I graduated from the University. I was trained by Cru in teaching and leading Bible groups. My husband and I worked with Cru for 13 years, and then we joined a different mission agency—International Messengers. I have been serving in IM for five years. Now, the primary environment where I could use Bible teaching and study is women from church.
