Matej Bordon is a pastor in Slovenia.
When did you trust Christ?
I decided to receive Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour when I was 17. This happened through a personal relationship I developed with a missionary team member from the United States. This missionary spent a lot of time answering my questions and helping me to understand the Gospel.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
Probably the most defining moment in my Christian life was when I decided to attend Bible College in Austria. I studied there for two years and finished a one-year internship. Besides my studies there, men like Chuck Smith, Billy Graham, and A. W. Tozer have impacted my life the most, some simply by living a life of faith and integrity, and some through the books they have written and their call to a selfless life.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I want to return to ELF because participating in different Forum workshops and discussions has always been a blessing. It helps me to feel much more equipped for ministry.
What is your ministry?
I am the assistant pastor at my church, Calvary Chapel. Additionally, I serve as an elder and a Sunday School coordinator.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
In the past, I have served as an assistant pastor, Sunday school teacher, and as a worship leader.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
I believe God has a plan and a calling for my life. I desire to follow Him on this path with all my heart and mind. And I would like to be as equipped and prepared for this call as possible. My family is trying to balance work, ministry, and five children. We hope to glorify and praise Him in all that we do.
