What is your ministry?
I am an assistant pastor in Lodz, Poland. I help the senior pastor in preaching, teaching, and counseling. I also minister internationally, doing evangelism and training evangelists. I also teach from time to time in different seminaries.
When did you trust Christ?
When I was 16, I ran into some old friends with whom I had gone to Sunday school. They invited me to their youth group. I went once and liked it so much that I started to go every Saturday. Then, I began to read the Bible. After six months of attending youth group, Sunday services, and reading the Bible independently, I was invited to an evangelistic service. At that service, I gave my life to Christ as my Lord and Savior.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
The first significant growth occurred during Operation Mobilisation outreaches in Poland. I was trained there to share my faith and had the privilege of speaking. Another critical experience was when I gained permission from the Communist government to go on a mission for a year. That short-term mission with Operation Mobilisation was the most significant growth in my Christian life. After that, I joined the evangelism department, where I led the teams from the ship going to schools, prisons, and speaking events. I saw God at work when the churches worked together, so when I returned to Poland, I started encouraging churches to work together.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I am an evangelist and mission facilitator in Russia and former Soviet Union republics. I want to return to the Forum because it sharpened my ministry skills and allowed me to get to know other ministers from whom I learned and ministered. After my last attendance, I helped organise the Church Revitalisation Leadership Seminar with David Brown and Jerry Root in our church. There were about 20 attendees.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
I was pastor and evangelist at First Baptist Church in Gdansk from 1990-1994. I was a church planter and pastor at Radom Baptist Church from 1994-2007. I was the national coordinator of the Next Generation Alliance from 2006-2007 and Central and Eastern Europe coordinator of the same organization from 2007-2011. I was the LPA coordinator for Europe for the Luis Palau Association from 2012-2013.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
There are not too many native people in Central and Eastern Europe who do evangelistic ministry, and even fewer go to other countries to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. We need training and resources to improve our evangelistic ministry.
