Mission as Service in the Czech Republic [Interview]

Abstract

Petr Cincala: Upon finishing studies. at. Andrews. in. 2002. I. returned.with.my. family. to. the. Czech.Republic.to.be.involved.in. reaching.out.to.the.Czech.secular. people..Soon.upon.our.return.I. realized. it. was. not. possible. to. be.employed.as.a.pastor.and.do. mission.work.at.the.same.time.. Because.the.local.church.organization.did.not.have.a.structure. for. employing. missionaries,. I. soon.became.a.freelancer..Later. —through.circumstances.that.I. believe. have. been. providential. —I.had.to.limit.my.activities.to. the.local.church.that.I.have.loved. very.much..In.2004.there.was.a. moment.in.my.life.when.I.sensed. God. asking. me. to. bring. all. I. received. from. him—education,. passion,.vision—to.his.feet.and. just.give.it.up..When.I.did.that,. God.took.the.development.fully. in.his.hands..In.the.fall.of.2004,. a.small.group.with.just.a.handful.of.people.was.initially.formed,. praying.to.God.for.preparing.and. involving.them.in.his.mission.
