Frank and Alenka Stephenson

Hello, we are Frank and Alenka, and we serve as missionaries in Bratislava, Slovakia. Our family is made up of 4 international cultures and we have two young kids that round up this melting pot.

I (Frank) am a German-American and graduated with a degree in communications and organizational leadership. The path to TWR came through a short internship at ERF, TWR’s German partner organization. Shortly after, I joined TWR full-time in autumn 2008 and haven’t looked back since. Currently I serve as Stewardship Director for the TWR regions of Europe and CAMENA (Central Asia, Middle East, North Africa). I find it amazing that the TWR family spans the globe. It is very enriching to me discovering how media ministry works in vastly different local contexts.

I (Alenka) joined TWR in 2010. I am an ethnic Slovak but born and raised in Serbia. Upon graduating with a master’s degree in theology and mission in Slovakia, I joined Ikonos, TWR’s local partner organization, where I met Frank. After joining TWR, I completed my studies in Global Leadership that has well equipped me for my current role as Director of Marcom and Donor Services. It’s a real privilege to work at TWR amongst such wonderful Kingdom-minded coworkers.
