SIM Czechia

Convinced that no one should live and die without hearing God’s good news, we believe that Jesus called us to make him known and live by his example where he is least known among all people groups in Central and Eastern Europe.

Key Ministries

  • Administration of the work in Central Asia.
  • Sending short- and long-term workers from Central Europe and Central Asia.
  • Developing sending functions for Central Europe and Central Asia including personnel, security and training
  • Encouraging and networking with Central European churches to advance a missional mindset within the region and globally.
  • Developing anti-human trafficking work with partner organisations.
  • Mapping opportunities for organisational involvement in Ukraine.

Spiritual Landscape in Czechia

Less than 15 per cent of the population are Christian, which represents a dramatic shift over the course of the 20th and 21st centuries. In the early years of the 20th century more than 90 per cent would have said they were Christian. Less than three per cent today are evangelical Christian, while there are huge numbers of people who claim to have no religious faith. 

Communities Where Christ is Least Known

Those at risk from human trafficking

There was a sharp increase in prostitution in the Czech Republic after the Velvet Revolution in 1989. Numerous prostitution hotspots emerged, particularly in northern and western Bohemia, especially near major highways leading to Austria and Germany, and in the capital city, Prague. The Czech Republic is a source, transit country, and destination country for women and children trafficked, currently with a significant increase in Ukrainian women. The 21st century is characterised by the shift of sexual services to the online environment. At the same time, some women choose this as their job despite it being illegal in Czechia. This makes it more challenging to reach and serve women and children. There are only a handful of Christians, churches, and local organisations focusing on this issue. We strive to network and connect everyone who wants to serve in this area with a vision to reach out with love, service, and the gospel.

Ukraine

We are very touched by the ongoing war in Ukraine. Although there are many active churches and mission organisations in Ukraine, everyone is facing new challenges and needs due to the war. This year, we are trying to map the current greatest needs and all potential partners so we can find where we can get involved, both in Ukraine and among refugees in Central and Eastern Europe. We are grateful for the numerous partners already operating in Ukraine and the many Ukrainian churches across Europe, which have decided to do their best and serve where they are, even if they have not chosen to be there. We are convinced we should also offer our expertise in sending and receiving workers, networking, supporting churches, and trauma healing ministry.
