There is a need for Christian congregations and fellowship in the Czech Republic. The country often ranks in sociological surveys as one of the most atheist countries in the world. Six hundred years ago, the followers of John Hus withstood decades of crusades by Catholic Europe against them. Today, less than 1% of the population identifies themselves within a Protestant tradition, and far fewer of those attend weekly services. It is difficult to find the sort of healthy, multi-generational congregations of believers that can be taken for granted in the US. The challenge is even greater for the tens of thousands of English speaking ex-patriots living near Prague. Many are there for short term (6 months to 3 years). Their needs are unique and greater than they would be in their own country. Expats have moved out of their traditional support networks of friends and family at exactly the same time that culture shock eats away at their sense of self-worth. They need an emotional and spiritual community and sense of belonging more than ever. Given the Czech language is particularly challenging for native English speakers, learning the language fast enough to actively participate in an existing Czech congregation is not an option for most expats.
