Reaching the city
A ReachGlobal team has been in Prague and the Czech Republic for nearly 20 years. After the fall of communism, the Czech Free Church invited ReachGlobal to reach their country for the gospel. Some the ministries ReachGlobal participates in are:
- ESL opportunities such as clubs and camps
- Roma ministry
- Outreach to underprivileged youth (Teen Challenge)
- Leadership development through the Evangelical Theological Seminary of Prague
- MK education at the Christian International School of Prague (CISP)

The Prague City Team invites you to come see the work in Prague and the Czech Republic by participating in an English Camp outreach, partnering in Roma ministry or teaching part-time at the Christian International School of Prague (CISP). The opportunities are endless (and the workers are few)! Come get a taste for a long-term call.
