I grew up in a Christian family that has been involved in the church for generations. My father is a pastor in a Lutheran parish in central Poland. A large part of my family is musically gifted and that allows them to be involved in worship during services. For a few years I led youth meetings. I work as a violin teacher. I got married three years ago. My husband also studies at EST. Please pray that we will build a solid Christian home.
Studying at EST deepens my biblical and theological knowledge. It helps me understand the reality I live in and helps in ministry. During classes we address many difficult issues and we search for answers. As a youth ministry leader I need to learn more about various biblical, social and dogmatic issues. Interacting with EST students from various denominations gives me a clear picture of Christianity in Poland, teaches me how to dialogue and seek what we share and not what divides us. This program definitely broadens my horizons. Please pray that I may have more time and motivation to read books recommended by the faculty. Thank you for the scholarship funds.
I am a member of a parish council where I’m in charge of evangelism and missions. During school year I teach Sunday school and sing in the parish choir. Every two weeks I host a Bible study for young people where we study the Word, pray, encourage them to follow Christ and be strong in faith. There are many challenges ahead of me. Please pray for co-workers who would want to work with me in the church and in our town. Every summer I organize activities for children from poor families, mission and evangelistic language camps where we try to reach the people of our town with the Good News. EWA BEREZEWSKA ; Age: 28
