Local ministry background:
Rut grew up in a Christian family and she was led to God since her early childhood. Firstly, she gave her life to Jesus when she was five years old.
With her husband and children, she attends one of the Free evangelical churches in Praha. In church she mainly works with children.

Rut became a lecturer in 2017 and started to visit schools with the pack of programs called the Ethical Workshops and the Spiritual Heritage. She joined the HY ministry program in January 2022.

The programs Rut lectures in schools are conceived as imaginatively, playfully and interactively as possible. In this way, children learn through a non-coercive way to behave properly in various crisis situations.

In her ministry Rut draws on her long-term experience of work with children.
She also invites children to the leisure-club meetings and to the summer kids’ camp.

Rut says about her ministry, “Very important in my life always were ‘the guides’ – people who were close to me by heart and with advice. What I had gained through them I decided to pass on to our young generation.
That’s why I work with children. My aim is to encourage them, to support them in their struggles and to help them on their life paths.”
