What is your ministry?
I have been a church planter for four years in Pardubice. Our mission is relational, to reach people through Frisbee, board games, Discovery Bible Study, My Life Workshop, and Family English camps. Once a month we do a non-formal Sunday service in the cafe shop.
When did you trust Christ?
I worked for a Christian company in Prague. My boss was a Christian, and he told me about Christianity. After listening to him talk, I realised I wanted to be a Christian, but I did not know how to become one. My wife and I were studying at university, and she attended a Christian student ministry meeting. Because of that, we were visited by Christians who told us about Jesus and what He had done for us. I began to read the New Testament and attended a Bible study on the Gospel of John. Finally, I accepted Jesus into my heart after attending an Integrity Life meeting.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
I started serving in student ministry. I joined a discipleship group and started attending a prayer meeting. I began to teach some Bible studies myself. Then, I accepted an offer to be a full-time, one-year staff member in a university student ministry. A growing desire for church planting led me to Lighthouse Church, which focuses on planting healthy new churches. I accepted an offer to work in that church, first for half a year and later for three years, preparing to be a church planter in a new church plant. I have seen the most growth in myself when I have taken responsibility and undergone discipleship.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
After attending the last time, it helped me in my ministry. Particularly the mentoring with Dietrich Schindler. Also, I enjoy the encouragement from the participants. The result was moving to another city and starting a church as a Pioneer.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
I worked in student ministry for one year in Prague. We planned ministry, made disciples who made other disciples, evangelised, shared the Gospel with university students, and hosted English camps and winter camps for new students who were in contact with us. I was involved in preparing student conferences and student weekends.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
I want to help make new leaders and encourage those leading, but to do that, I need to receive training.
