In 1994, two important events occurred. I married and began to serve God as a leader of the children’s service in our church. After seven years of marriage, I have 2 daughters, ages 4 and 2. After seven years of service, I have the following responsibilities: I’m a leader of the children’s service (60 children and 10 teachers); I teach children at Sunday School (ages 10-16); I’m the leader of a Christian puppet theatre; and I help to organize trips and camps for children and youth from our church and children’s home. And finally, I lead children’s groups (both believers and unbelievers) in hiking and sports experiences.

My education is in economics and non-profit development. After college, I worked in sales and management for financial and technology companies. My last job was with a consulting company, managing Virtual training over the internet for U.S. customers and handling marketing and web design. But through prayer, I felt called to work in a Christian organization in my city that focused on Youth , Children and Families. Two weeks later, in 2001, I saw an advertisement for the New Hope position. I believe it was not coincidence - I believe it was a calling from God.

Petr now serves as an Executive Director for New Hope and as is responsible for program planning, budget, ministry and employees.  He personally embarks upon projects such as puppet-show ministry and preventive and abstinence lectures at the high schools.
