Support

To follow the dream I believe is God's calling, in March 2025 I left my position as pastor of the Viera church in Bratislava and devoted my full capacity to this mission:

to foster cooperation between pastors and support their shared ministry to the community,
to build a platform of support for their ministry.

I could not walk this journey alone then — and I cannot walk it alone now. I need people who work with me and stand behind me. Perhaps this is an invitation for you:

Pray for me

Do let me know if you want to become part of my team and receive regular updates on how to pray for a change in our leadership culture in Slovakia, for pastors and their families, for the research now underway, and for the emerging platform of care for ministers in Slovakia.

It is my belief that we can do more than pray only after we have prayed first. That is why, for many years, my friends and I have been weaving together a prayer network in Slovakia and supporting prayer initiatives such as Prayers 24-7 and Convocation.

Help us in our work

Along the way I keep meeting people who are not only intrigued by this mission, but who long to do something similar — or already are, in some capacity. You might be one of them. Maybe you have been thinking about how to help your pastor, or how to strengthen the cooperation of pastors in your city. You might be a professional whose expertise could serve pastors and their families. Or you might be a researcher or organization working on pastoral well-being — the research page on this site shows where our findings could meet. If this describes you, do get in touch. I would be glad to meet and talk.

Support us by giving

Since September 2025 I have been a full-time doctoral researcher at Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica, with a university scholarship. Since October 2025 I have also been supported by the Baptist Union of Slovakia and serve as a staff member of the Slovak Association of Evangelical Churches. And a great encouragement to me are the people who have decided to become my regular supporters and partners — without them, I could not walk this road.

What your support enables right now:

field research across six regional bases from Bratislava to Košice — roughly 125 in-depth interviews with pastors, their spouses, retired pastors, and those who left ministry,
research tools and licences — professional recording and transcription, MAXQDA analysis software,
continuing professional training — supervision and coaching certifications that are already becoming part of the future care platform,
and, beyond the dissertation: building the platform of care itself — supervision, mentoring, and support systems for pastors in Slovakia.

Nehemiah repaired the walls of Jerusalem in a record 52 days, helped only by those who volunteered to join his work. I believe it is the same today: together we can accomplish great things, but each of us needs to recognize our place and our commitment. God uses those who make themselves available to Him.

If this mission speaks to you, please consider becoming part of it as a regular supporter, in whatever way works best for you. I will gladly meet with you — in person or online — and answer any questions.
