Daniel & Kristýna Pípal

Daniel and Kristýna met for the first time at Hotel Malenovice in the Czech Republic during a youth conference. A few years later, they got married in 2010. They joined cell churches (communities) and started doing Christian ministry for young people in Frýdek-Místek. Daniel worked in civil engineering as a designer and draftsman and, in 2016, he was invited to join the EXIT Tour team in the Czech Republic. Due to his love for young people and his passion to make disciples, he left his career in civil engineering and joined the EXIT Tour team as a trainer. Kristýna takes care of their children and is involved in local ministry in Frýdek-Místek—making disciples and co-leading a small church for youth.
