Riste M.
Church Planter
Riste M. is a church planter in Serbia who also runs a Christian organization called Project Timothy. There is a great deficit in the understanding of sound doctrine in Serbia, so the need for training is great. Because of this, Riste describes the Project Timothy ministry as an organization that “trains pastors in expository preaching, publishes theological gospel-centered books, organizes conferences, and has a program for apprentices.” Riste is also part of the team of the Baptist Theological School in Novi Sad. He received his ministerial training through two years at the Hub Bible School Belgrade, four years at the Baptist Theological School, and through studies in the Master’s program at ATN Cenej. He has been in ministry since 2010 and has partnered with HeartCry since 2023. He and his wife, Teodora, have been married since 2013.
