Encouraging the local church for missions

OM International
English/Español/Français

The OM team in the Czech Republic has placed a greater emphasis on encouraging the local church into missions. One young Czech woman has worked with OM in South Asia for the past few years, and was able to host a team of Czechs there this summer. OM Czech is keen to establish good links with the area, to which end the Czech field leader is currently out on a fact-finding mission there to work out possibilities. There are plans for a medical team from Czech Republic to visit the area next year. Several meetings in local churches have already taken place this autumn, including one in Prague.

Please pray for an increased missions awareness among Czechs, and that local churches would become more active in sending Christian workers abroad.
 

ANIMANDO A LA IGLESIA LOCAL A SER PARTE DE LAS MISIONES – República Checa

El equipo de OM en la República Checa ha puesto un mayor énfasis en animar a la iglesia local a participar en las misiones. Una joven checa ha trabajado con OM en el sur de Asia por los últimos años, y ha sido anfitriona de un equipo de checos que vinieron este verano. OM República Checa está interesada en desarrollar vínculos con esta área, para lo cual el líder de campo checo está estudiando las posibilidades existentes. Hay planes para que un equipo médico de la República Checa visite el área el año próximo. Ya se han realizado varias reuniones en iglesias locales este otoño, incluyendo una en Praga.

Por favor ora por una mayor conciencia misionera entre los checos, y para que las iglesias locales se involucren más en enviar obreros cristianos al extranjero.
 

ENCOURAGER L'ÉGLISE LOCALE A S’INVESTIR DANS LA MISSION - République tchèque
L’équipe d’OM en République tchèque a cherché de plus en plus à encourager les églises locales à s’investir dans la mission. Au cours des années précédentes, une jeune femme tchèque a travaillé avec OM en Asie du Sud et a pu accueillir une équipe de tchèques cet été. OM Tchécoslovaquie tient à établir de bonnes relations avec cette région, dans laquelle le responsable est actuellement en recherche d’opportunités missionnaires. Une équipe médicale tchèque projette de visiter cette région l’année prochaine. Plusieurs rencontres dans des églises locales ont déjà eu lieu cet automne, dont une à Prague.

Merci de prier pour que les Tchèques prennent de plus en plus conscience du besoin missionnaire et que les églises locales soient plus actives dans l'envoi d'ouvriers chrétiens à l'étranger.

Czech Republic :: Sun shines on the red roofs of historic Tabor. Tabor is associated with Czech religious reformer Jan Hus. Pray that the light of Christ shines in the hearts of Czechs.
Czech Republic :: The picturesque sight of medieval Cesky Krumlov hides the fact that there are very few believers and churches here. Pray for the strengthening of existing churches and believers, and for the work of OM in the area.
Czech Republic :: Wedding in the historic town square in Tabor, South Bohemia.
Czech Republic :: The fireworks behind the medieval Ceske Budejovice Town Hall may have been impressive, but many Czechs who had been against joining the EU were left wondering what it was all about. Czechs face serious unemployment and social problems although the economy is gradually improving.
Czech Republic :: A silver birch tree stands guard over a snowy winter landscape around Svaty Jan nad Malsi, Czech Republic. Pray that God will thaw the hearts of Czechs.
Czech Republic :: These magnificent buildings are found in the historic town square in Tabor, South Bohemia. Although this area is associated with the reformer Jan Hus, spiritually it’s a very difficult area.

Czech Republic :: Cholesterol-laden fare on offer in South Bohemian Christmas Markets. Although Czechs lead an active and healthy lifestyle, traditional cuisine is not so healthy!
Czech Republic :: The stunningly beautiful Cesky Krumlov comes alive with medieval costumes, music, theatre and sports. Pray that Czechs will come to know their Lord and Saviour.
