Jelena Vilotijevic

Jelena is the head of the Women’s Ministry at the student organisation EUS Montenegro (IFES). Her time is spent mentoring young women, leading Bible studies, and giving talks, as well as helping to run camps, mission weeks, retreats, and women’s brunches.

She uses her Biblical counselling skills and gifting in drama and sport as ways to share the gospel; she also regularly utilises skills she developed while working as a ministry trainee at St Michael’s, such as running Alpha courses and kids’ programmes.

August 2026 Update

This summer, Jelena served at Camp Monty, a sports and evangelism summer camp run in her town Nikšić. A bunch of kids made decisions to follow Jesus, including Jelena’s nephews! The team are planning to do more follow up with them to disciple them in their faith.

Jelena has also been continuing her Women’s Brunch. They’ve been reading the Psalms and doing journaling exercises as a spiritual discipline.
