Did you know that the Czech Republic has one of the least religious populations in the world with 75% to 79%of people not declaring any religion or faith and the percentage of convinced atheists being third in the world. For generations the Czech people have been historically characterized as “indifferent towards religion”.

But in the city Frydek-Místek there is a Church of God of Prophecy congregation that recognizes the spiritual darkness surrounding their nation and community and they have resolved to SHINE.  They have begun a children’s outreach ministry that targets children living in a neighborhood where there is easy access to drugs, cigarettes and alcohol.

The children’s neighborhood outreach

  • Shares the good news of salvation through special events
  • Brings these children into the children’s Bible club, an ongoing discipleship program of the local church,
  • Involves the parents in the outreach events so they too can hear the news of the Gospel and connect with the local church
  • And provides medical assistance to the families as needed

Kids in your local church can help SHINE the light of the Gospel in a very dark place as they participate in this year’s Helping Hands for Kids Project.

SHINE will bring light to the spiritual darkness of this community and the Czech Republic as children pray and give.  SHINE will provide needed funds to reach more kids and families through these outreach events. SHINE will help kids in your ministry develop a heart for missions and a passion for sharing the “good news” with lost people.

Let the light of the Gospel SHINE through the kids in your ministry! Participate in this year’s Helping Hands for Kids project, SHINE.
