Johnny & Annette Johnson

When we were 23, the truth of the gospel invaded our lives, radically changing us. As we grew in Christ, we both began to serve and teach in the church. Johnny has served as an elder at Faith Presbyterian Church in Birmingham, Ala. for 28 years, and Annette worked for 18 years in a local pregnancy center, serving as director from 2002-2009.

In 1996 God began to use a difficult engineering job in Eastern Europe to begin preparing us for His call to the Czech Republic. We spent the summers of 2005-2008 serving as team leaders of short-term mission trips, teaching English alongside the MTW team in Zlín. It was through these camps that the Lord confirmed our call. We hope to help facilitate the planting of churches though teaching English, leading Bible studies, and nurturing the local Church.

The Czech Republic is a beautiful country, but one that is covered in spiritual darkness and in need of the gospel. We desire to see the light of Christ shine forth, and to see the Church grow and be strengthened so that “the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.” (Isa. 11:9)
