Jakov Balint-Feudvarski is a musician leading worship in various contexts throughout Croatia.
When did you trust Christ?
Born into a pastor's family, I have been hearing about God since I was a young child. I knew a lot about God, but I did not know God. When I was 16, COVID hit, and during lockdown, I had a lot of free time. I started reading the Bible and writing prayers in my notebook, but I was failing math and possibly the school year. I had a big fight with my parents, and then I remember wrestling with God about my life. Eventually, I admitted that I did need God, and I felt light as a feather.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
After admitting my need for God, my worldview changed, and it is still changing.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I would like to learn to worship God with musical excellence, without it feeling like a performance, and how to unite people in worship, in spite of individual preferences. I hope to build and lead a strong team while staying close to God and avoiding burnout. I would like guidance in choosing songs, planning services, and helping team members grow.
What is your ministry?
I lead worship in my local church, local church plants, at my seminary, and at youth conferences.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
I have led worship in a variety of contexts and also performed my own music before a small audience..
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
I would like to learn how to build and lead a strong team in order to worship God with musical excellence, without it feeling like a performance, and how to unite people in worship.
