What is your ministry?
I regularly preach at my local church in Budapest. The senior pastor and I train laypersons for church ministry. I occasionally teach in the Szünergosz Baptist Bible School. In addition, I organize activities for the young adults in our church. I am also involved in a small group, and we want to plant a church soon.
When did you trust Christ?
I decided to follow Jesus in 1993, when I was 13 years old, during an outreach week in our village organized by the local Baptist church. One evening, the preacher talked about the opportunities we had for our lives and the two possible end stations: Heaven or Hell. I didn't want to go to Hell; I wanted to go to Heaven and sleep at night without being afraid. So that night, I decided to follow Jesus.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
We had an excellent biblical preacher in my church. His preaching connected to what I was experiencing in real life. He was a good teacher and was easy to understand.
I was studying at a technical university as an electrical engineer. During this time, God called me to be a pastor. I didn't feel I could speak well enough to be a pastor, but I wanted to obey God. So I graduated from the university, and afterward, I studied at the Baptist seminary to become a pastor.
After my seminary studies, I was a pastor at Gödöllő Baptist Church for four years. I have since become a bi-vocational: I am both a pastor and an engineer. I understood that God needs Christians to be involved in secular careers just like he needs them to be in ministry.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
As a result of attending in previous years, I am more engaged in apologetic and evangelistic conversations. I have a deeper relationship with God, my wife, and the church planting core group. Also, I have acquired a lifelong learning attitude.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
I was the leader of the local MEKDSZ (IFES) at the University of Győr for two years. I was the chief of the student council at the Baptist Theological Academy for two years. I was the senior pastor of Gödöllő Baptist Church for four years until 2013.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
I want to improve my Bible teaching and preaching skills and be a better leader.
