Shelby Hlavsa Flowers first traveled to the Czech Republic in 2010 as part of a mission team serving at one of the very first Fusion camps. She was immediately inspired by the way Fusion connects young people to the gospel through music, and she never looked back. After serving two summers as an intern, Shelby moved to Ostrava and has lived there, serving locally and internationally, since 2014. In 2018 she became the director of Fusion International and has helped to establish and support Fusion choirs across eleven countries. She and her Czech husband Radek got married in 2023 and serve together in their local church in Ostrava.
