Leadership and team

Managing board

Croatia for Christ ministry is ran by an independent board. The Managing Board consists of individuals who are actively serving in their churches in the US and one member on the site in Croatia. The members serve as volunteers in spreading the Gospel in Croatia and Serbia.

Spiritual oversight

Crestview Church of Christ from Waco, Texas is has the spiritual oversight of the CfC ministry. This is the church that sent the first missionary couple to Croatia (Yugoslavia at the time) in 1968. As a result, today we have churches all over Croatia worshiping the Lord and sharing the Gospel. For this reason and their faithful support of our ministry we are thankful for their spiritual oversight and guidance of Croatia for Christ ministry.

Executive manager

Željka Košir serves on the team as the executive manager of the ministry. She is a member of the Varaždin Church of Christ, one of the local churches in Croatia. On the position of the executive manager she executes all the tasks necessary for the various projects of the ministry.

US representatives

Two US representatives with their wives serve on our missionary team to contact all individuals, churches and mission supporters to share current ministry news and projected projects. They are Paul and Barbara Wert and Kyle and Shelly Thomas, they serve the Lord in their respective churches and have visited Croatia many times to be actively involved with the church body and the Spring or Summer camps. Each of them reports directly to the Croatia for Christ Board to stay involved with their responsibilities in the United States.
