Roman Halamicek had finished his business education and was working as a banker when he first came to the congregation in Bratislava, Slovakia. His aunt from Zurich, Switzerland was a Christian and came to visit family in Bratislava. She invited Roman to attend worship with her.  Roman was already a believer and began studying with one of the missionaries, Mark Blackwelder.  Soon he was baptized and looked for a way to receive a deeper knowledge of God’s Word. He began taking the Sunset International Bible Institute courses on video.  He graduated in Lubbock, Texas in May, 2007 and became a full-time evangelist and teaching minister with the church in Bratislava.  

Roman met Johanna, a physical therapist, who was living in Albuquerque. She had an interest in foreign missions having worked for a year as a missionary in Central Asia after college, and used her medical training to volunteer at a hospital in India. After time traveling across the Atlantic, and communication via the Internet, Roman and Johanna were married in Albuquerque on July 3, 2016. They now have two children, Timko born in 2020, and Lydia born in 2023.

Roman works with leaders from congregations in Slovakia, Czech Republic, as well as other countries in Europe. They currently are helping refugees from the Ukraine who have come to Slovak to escape the war.
