When did you trust Christ?
I decided to follow Jesus when I was a child of 10. Jesus touched my heart during a sermon one Sunday. I shared my experience with my parents. They led me to the Lord in prayer. Since that moment, I have belonged to Jesus.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
I enjoy that I get to develop new skills and strengthen the skills I already possess. The Forum and its initiatives inspire me and bring fresh impulses to my ministry. I also hope to inspire others through this process. Finally, I greatly value relationships and anticipate building new connections through this experience.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I hope the Forum will inspire me and bring fresh impulses to my ministry. I also hope to inspire others through this process. Moreover, I expect to gain new insights through reading, preparation, and discussions for strategic thinking about my church.
What is your ministry?
I am the lead pastor at the local church, which operates in three locations and maintains weekly contact with 400 to 500 individuals in Vsetin, Czech Republic. Our primary objective is to plant new churches in our region. Over 17 years, our church has successfully planted or adopted 12 churches, with 11 forming a robust long-term partnership known as the Majak Network.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
I am the lead pastor at the local church, which operates in three locations. Additionally, I hold a position within the higher leadership structure of the Majak network. My primary responsibilities include empowering, encouraging, and training teams of leaders within our locations and missional communities. An essential aspect of my role involves recruiting new leaders, fundraising efforts, strategic decision-making, and effectively communicating our vision. I also regularly engage in preaching and teaching in our church.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
The Forum will be of great value for developing new skills that will, in turn, benefit my work in my congregation and other projects in which I am involved.
