SEND’s Ministry
The SEND Czech Republic team works primarily in northern Bohemia, alongside a Czech church in the city of Litomerice that has a vision to plant churches throughout this region. Only ten years old itself, this church has already started ministries in two additional towns. SEND workers assist the church by working with mothers and young children, teaching English, helping with evangelistic camps, and discipleship.
Spiritual Climate
Despite a rich Christian history, the Czech Republic is currently one of the most atheistic countries in the world. Approximately 60% of Czechs call themselves atheists. Few Czechs have actually read the Bible or know much about Jesus Christ. At best they consider the Bible a book of ancient fairy tales. In lieu of seeking joy in Jesus, Czechs often indulge in materialism, alcohol, and pleasure-seeking.
