Tookie Andrian serves with European Christian Mission (ECM) and is a missionary in Greece.
When did you trust Christ?
I believed in Jesus from a young age but got serious about my faith when I was 12.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
My father told me stories about God when I was young, and as a teenager, I was influenced by my pastor's sermons and genuine love for my family. Another man in the same church impacted me through discussions we had almost every weekend after youth group. After a conference in 2016, I felt God's calling to be an evangelist. Recently, my wife and I have experienced hardships and felt intense spiritual warfare, but this has made my faith grow even more.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I just entered full-time ministry and have a lot to learn. At ELF, I hope to become a better servant in leadership roles and learn how to equip other young evangelists in Greece. I will benefit by learning from other leaders who mentor young people and from other evangelists who are communicating the Gospel in Europe and the Balkans.
What is your ministry?
My wife and I just joined ECM (European Christian Mission), and my ministry as a missionary in Greece involves advancing the Gospel through evangelism. My heart beats for evangelistic outreach and equipping the next generation of evangelists to confidently use their gifts. I look forward to encouraging churches to embrace the importance of public proclamation of the Gospel in Greece.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
I was the board president of the youth group at my previous church. I was also part of a Greek board for the movement of evangelical youth and a staff member for the Greek IFES / InterVarsity.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
I want to serve the Church and help others do the same. My vision is to see other people in Greece proclaiming the Gospel at public events in a way that is faithful and speaks to this age. To achieve that, I have already started a training course for Greeks, but I want to study the Bible more, complete theological studies, and get a master's degree. I believe this will help me better serve young evangelists. I know other European evangelists are doing similar things, and I look forward to learning from them.
