Missionaries of Mission to the World have served in the Czech Republic since 1991.

When the Iron Curtain lifted from Communist Central Europe in 1989, the Czech people rediscovered their own national and cultural identity as well as a new struggle to seek out the freedoms and riches of their place in the world. Yet in this struggle to regain a hopeful vision of the future, they have forgotten about the treasures and wisdom of the past, when impassioned battles were fought over the hearts and souls of men in relation to God and His Word. As a result, there is an aching emptiness in the heart of Europe that can only be satisfied by one source of freedom and riches: the love and salvation of Jesus Christ.

Today, out of the 10 million people that live in the Czech Republic at least 60% claim that there is no God, and only 20,000 people attend church regularly. The empty churches that are now concert halls and art galleries exhibit that though culture and the arts are highly valued in this nation, they have tried to find meaning for their lives only by what they can create.

The MTW Czech Republic Team serves for one purpose: to share the glorious news that the world was created for the glory of God, that a personal Savior does exist, that Jesus Christ lived, died for our sins, and rose again that we all might find forgiveness and the true freedom of life eternal. Please pray for us, the ministry, and the people of the Czech Republic.
