This summer, All Saints is blessed to have a student ministry intern with us from Slovakia. Her name is Petra Tibenska, and I asked her to write up a short bio about herself. Please read it, get to know her, and make her feel welcome.Trnava, Slovakia, the town where I was born and raised, is a very Catholic town. About 75% of people claim to be Catholic. However, God was never mentioned in our family, and I only ever heard negative comments about the church. I started playing tennis when I was five and a half, and I spent most of my free time on tennis courts until I was sixteen years old. I didn't know what to do with my free time after I quit playing tennis, so I joined my friends and started going to the "Building" (the youth ministry center run by American missionaries. I became a Christian when I was about 17 years old, and I started serving in Youth Ministry when I was 18.
Two of my friends and I felt lead to start Youth Group Meetings. The three of us formed a team and started leading meeting sfor hte young people in our church. I volunteered at the Building and helped with basically anything on a daily basis. I officially joined the Building Staff two years ago as a part-time national employee. I love leading Girls' Klub (girls' small group), helping to lead/teach LTP (Leadership Training Program for our volunteers), planning Summer English Camp, and being in charge of a Friday Night event for Junior High and High School students at the Building called The Intro.
In my free time, I love to play sports. I play the guitar and sing (I lead worship at our church twice a month), I love teaching (I studied Education and English) and I enjoy being with the youth.
Her email address is Petrastar1001@yahoo.com. Shoot her an email if you get a chance.
