What is your ministry?
I am the lead elder in our local church, and I support and develop leaders and church plants in South Serbia, the Balkans, and Eastern Europe.
When did you trust Christ?
In the spring of 1996. Through the ministry of Bread of Life and the Jesus Film.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
The same year I became Christian, I met my wife, who was already a dedicated Christian. From 2000-2003, we spent time training in the UK for theological training and church planting. Since 2000, we have been serving in South Serbia and beyond. One defining moment was meeting and working with Roma Gypsy believers; the simplicity of their faith and love for God was essential in my spiritual development.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
ELF is essential in my spiritual and missiological journey and formation. It keeps me in line with sound doctrine, feeds my soul, and keeps me close to God. It is also an opportunity to meet other ministries. We can do more together than on our own.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
My past leadership roles started as a church planter and youth worker in Serbia, starting from ground zero. I've had the privilege of guiding and nurturing young minds in their spiritual growth, emphasizing discipleship as a cornerstone of our ministry. Beyond the church, I've actively engaged in humanitarian aid efforts in war-torn Serbia, witnessing the resilience of communities facing adversity. My leadership roles have fostered spiritual development and addressed the needs of the marginalised and impoverished, mostly Roma Gypsy communities.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
Investing in my ministry is an opportunity to support a journey deeply rooted in faith, service, and transformation. I began our ministry from scratch, dedicating myself to nurturing young minds through discipleship and spiritual growth. Investing in my ministry is an investment in the enduring legacy of faith, service, and community building in Serbia.
