2025 Czech Mission Team

On Saturday, we continued our exploration around Prague seeing the Old town square where many historic events took place which shaped the direction of this nation.  Prague is home to some of the oldest structures in Europe.  We began the morning seeing the oldest functioning Jewish Synagogue in Europe. Behind us in the picture above is an astronomical clock that is the oldest in Europe. Every hour the skeleton chimes and the blue windows open to reveal the 12 apostles as they walk by the windows. Throughout the city there are many bold touches of Christian and evangelical influences that are embedded in the history of Czech lands.  What used to be one of the most protestant countries in the world back in the early centuries, has changed into a place of darkness due to consequences of religious wars, nazi domination and communism. These situations have squeezed the nation dry of spirituality, but God is doing a new work and gospel stories are emerging. God is working among the Czech people - people are seeking the Lord and turning to Christ, and churches are being planted in small and large cities. Continue to pray for a fresh wind to blow across this land and for revival to spark a flame of repentance and acceptance of truth once again. Jan Hus, a pre-reformation reformer said, "Therefore, faithful Christian, seek the truth, listen to the truth, learn the truth, love the truth, tell the truth defend the truth even to death."  Jan was burned at the stake in 1415 for his faith.
