“He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.” (1 Thes. 5:24 ESV) Recently I was asked to share what God has been teaching me as of late and I quickly replied with three words – GOD IS FAITHFUL. There is nothing earth-shattering about this, is there? No. It’s a truth about God [...]

Have you ever thought what it would be like to live in a place where Jesus and God was seemingly everywhere around you, from architecture, to art, to the shear beauty of your country and yet you have no idea who Jesus is? He to you and nearly 90% of your countrymen is nothing more than a hyped version of Shrek! What would that be like? That is the spiritual reality of the Czech Republic. Here is an interesting quote from Josiah Venture:
The evangelical church is tiny, making up only less than one third of one percent in a country of 10 and a half million. Most Czechs have no religious affiliation. Several cults have made significant inroads in recent years, particularly the Jehovah’s witnesses. They number close to 25,000, making them twice as large as the largest evangelical denomination.
That is what question you might be asking yourself. It started with me first coming to Czech on an ATHLETES IN ACTION (AIA) summer project in 2002, which led to a 19-month STINT and then my eventual return in September 2007 to the Czech Republic to reach athletes, and people training to coach high level athletes! There are two ways I will be working with ATHLETES IN ACTION over in the Czech Republic.
The first, is in the world of American football, as I am coaching the Prague Lions a semi-professional football team that is part of a ten team league. AMERICAN football is very new to the Czech Republic, but there is a growing following and a tremendous opportunity to see the Lord reach many football players. My hope is to continually resource and help with the development (providing equipment, coaching and other practical things to help football grow) of football on a country scale throughout Czech and beyond Europe. Thus we are seeking God to transform football for His Glory and for the Good of the Czech people and beyond that Europeans!
The second, capacity of my work in the Czech Republic is by working on campus at FTVS – which is the Sport Faculty University in Prague. All the students that attend this university are in school to work within the athletic world in some capacity throughout Czech and all of Europe. I will be teaching English courses, leading small groups, and working to see a REVOLUTION FOR JESUS begin at this campus; which, Lord-willing, will spill over to all of Europe and the world beyond!
There are two ways in which you can partner with me in reaching the Czech Republic. The first and foremost is prayer! When we pray things happen. I need your prayers, Czech needs your prayers! Will you commit to praying for my work within Czech, the Czech people and God’s name to made famous throughout the nations!
Beyond prayer monthly support is a huge need. It is monthly support that keeps things moving and helps me minister consistently throughout months and years! Would you consider giving a monthly gift that is most sacrificial for you to help see the Czech people reached through the language and tool of sports? If you also want to give a special needs gift that would be a huge blessing too!
