Matt & Sara Titus - Czech Republic
In 2004, Matt and Sara Titus spent a year in the Czech Republic. They returned from that trip with a strong sense that God was calling them to serve him full time as church planting missionaries. At this time, they are preparing to return to the Czech by attending training events to better equip them in ministry and by raising their prayer and financial support. Their goal is to move to the Czech in the fall of 2011.
Harvest is in the process of training Matt and Sara and preparing them to be sent from our midst. The mission agency they are partnering with is TEAM.
Church planting in the Czech Republic is done through evangelistic English classes, English camps, and other outreach programs. As people decide to follow Christ, they begin to meet and worship together as a new church.
Why does the Czech need more churches?
A recent prayer letter from a TEAM church planter puts it well:
"In Europe, which is already the most secular continent in the world, the Czech Republic today is probably the least religious of them all. Very few of the 25% of Czechs who are Roman Catholics are practicing, and Protestants are only 2% of the population. A recent poll showed that 81% of Czechs do
not believe in God – half of those would acknowledge some sort of new-age “force”, while the other half are convinced atheists. The Christian Mission Society of the Czech Republic (KMS) has calculated that today there are only 18,558 members of evangelical churches, or less than 0.2% of the Czech population. Eight of the ten evangelical denominations are in decline, but the largest and fastest-growing is the denomination that TEAM is partnering with: Církev bratrská (CB) or Church of the Brethren. Almost 2000 new believers and 37 new local churches have been added in the past twenty years." To read more on ministry in the Czech Republic, click here.
