Michal Domagala
I am a pastor of a big church. I am involved in preaching, leading the church, counselling others, and assisting in Bible translation.
I became a believer in 1992. Before my conversion, some of my friends became believers, and I noticed the change in their lives. I decided I needed something like that in my life. So, I decided to follow Jesus.
The most defining moment was my decision to follow Jesus. A later defining moment was my call to be a missionary, which happened through reading a book on Jim Elliot. I came back after 15 years of mission work and became pastor through the encouragement of the pastor of my sending church.
I am hoping for inspiration and making good connections with other participants. I hope I may find new ideas for how to develop discipleship in my church.
First, I was a missionary in Central Asia with the Navigators. Second, I was an exegete in a Bible translation project with Wycliffe Bible Translators. Third, I was a pastor of the Baptist Church of Elk, Poland. Fourth, I was a pastor of the Baptist Church of Giżycko, Poland. Fifth, I was a pastor in the First Baptist Church of Wrocław, Poland.
I lead a church with a big international community; it is one of the key churches in one of the largest cities in Poland. We need encouragement and inspiration to introduce and develop a disciple-making movement.
