Who we are
SIM Czechia is the newest entity in the SIM network, established in 2022. We serve as a regional office for countries in Central and Eastern Europe, Czechia (Czech Republic), Poland, Slovakia, and Ukraine.
We are convinced that no one should live and die without hearing God's good news. We believe that He has called us to make disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ in communities where He is least known.
Therefore, filled with God's love and empowered by the Holy Spirit we:
• mobilise Christians from Central and Eastern Europe for local and global church-centred mission work, with an emphasis on unreached groups.
• help workers cross barriers to proclaim the gospel in a relevant way where Jesus is least known.
• send and receive missionaries in cooperation with local churches.
• support those who serve through care and prayers.
• help churches understand their role in God’s global mission.
• organise both short-term and long-term missionary trips.

Communities where Christ is least known
Czechs
The Czech Republic is a beautiful country in the heart of Central Europe with a population of 10 million people. Part of Czechoslovakia until 1993, it also belonged to the Eastern Block until the Velvet Revolution in 1989.
Despite a rich history of Christianity, it is currently one of the most gospel-poor countries in Europe, with atheism and eastern religions both on the upswing. Evangelical Christians represent less than 1% of the population and we have only two growing evangelical denominations.
Czech people are welcome and open, however, and there is freedom to share the gospel of Jesus, with many opportunities to serve. You can join a church-based partnership ministry and serve in many creative ways to kids, teenagers, seniors, people with addiction, socially disadvantaged people, etc.
Central and Eastern Europeans
Central and Eastern Europe has many communities where Christ is little known, to whom workers in our region are ideally equipped to go. SIM Czechia is establishing a sending and receiving base for new workers who want to reach such communities.
If you are interested in sharing the gospel with people in the Czech Republic or Central and Eastern Europe, please contact us at czech.office@sim.org.
Prayers
Pray for lasting spiritual fruit and impact among the unreached. There are workers in our team who serve in tough places. Pray for them to stay secure, to understand locals, and to find creative ways how to share the good news of Jesus.
