What is your ministry?
My current ministry consists of organising lectures and workshops on social issues for churches, as I am a sociologist by training and I am sometimes invited to many Christian and apologetics conferences. In addition, I am active in the online sphere as an editor of one of the largest Christian portals in Poland (Należeć doJezusa, “Belonging to Jesus”), where I write articles. I am also the author of a Christian podcast discussing social issues. In my local church, I organise young adult group meetings, meetings for women, sing in a worship band, and help people in difficult situations (depression, anxiety, toxic relationships). At the same time, I try to spread the word about Evangelical Protestantism and the Gospel at the University of Warsaw, where I speak in an academic setting about issues such as Protestant political participation or the attitude of deeply believing Christians toward Artificial Intelligence.
When did you trust Christ?
I decided to follow Christ when I was in high school. Most of my childhood was spent questioning whether a good God existed. Then, during a very dark time in high school, the Gospel message came to me while reading Romans, and that's when I realised that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and I decided that I would put all my trust in Him.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
The family Christian camps with my dad and the friendships I made there were crucial to my faith. I also saw other believers live out God's principles. On a trip with my friends, I told God I wanted to give up my current lifestyle, but I needed His help. When I decided to be baptized, I was plagued by forceful doubts, which turned into depressive episodes and anxiety. Finally, I learned to surrender and rely on Christ.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
Since the last Forum, I have become involved in more things, including larger conferences, but also in other areas of service, such as organising camps for young adults and helping people in toxic relationships. In addition, I've been able to organise several lectures on social problems. Overall, the Forum helps me in each of the ministries I do, and it encourages and equips me. I also feel that I am gaining more and more courage, but also practical skills, which significantly make me as a young person become more and more competent and organised in ministry. I always come back from it comforted and full of new ideas that I can use later.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
In 2021, I spoke at the Apologetics Conference. I led worship at church for several years. I organized conferences and was active with social media and graphic design at my church. I have also helped young women in difficult family situations. I have a lot of experience in lay leadership.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
I want to be trained at the Forum because this is the only initiative in my country where I can learn so much in terms of my ministry as a social scientist. We don't have many conferences of this type in Poland, and in fact, as a person who gives lectures and workshops myself, I don't have many opportunities to get further training in the topics I deal with from a Christian perspective.
