Our Mission

IMG_0151.jpg

We exist to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to establish church-planting churches throughout the Czech Republic:

  • Jesus’ last words to His disciples were to go and make Disciples (Matthew 28:18-20). In other important texts He commanded us to preach the gospel and to be His witnesses (Luke 24: 46-47 & Acts 1:8). In other words these verses are known in Christian circles as the “Great Commission.”

  • The Gospel is defined as follows: Christ died for our sins; was buried; and rose from the dead. I Corinthians 15:3-4. Mankind must repent of his sins and trust in this Gospel alone to be saved. As a result, man will inherit eternal life and be in a life long personal relationship with the Creator God forever. Any conditions added to grace through faith doctrine is considered a “work” and will be noted as a false addition to the salvation message. Ie baptism, church membership, good works, etc.

  • Jesus said: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” Mark 1:15.

  • ”that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;” Romans 10:9.

  • Our focus will be the former Czechoslovakia. It has been determined that this region is one of the most atheist areas of the world. We believe that establishing churches and their influence will permeate throughout the culture and eventually the people there will turn away from a Communistic/Atheistic worldview.

 

Our Vision(in 1-3 years)

  • To form and coordinate Czech national church planting teams with the ultimate goal of establishing teams in all 14 provinces.

  • In the northern Czech city of Decin, Fields of Faith has established a Bible-believing church. All church plants will be self-led; self-supporting, and self-governed.

  • Subsequently, the Decin congregation has established another mission several kilometers away. 

  • To work with the Czech Bible Institute in Kromeriz by assisting them with English camps and evangelism campaigns.

  • We will partner with TMAI to enhance the training of pastors so that they will be equipped to establish expository preaching churches.

  • To assist CBI in reconstructing their facilities to accomodate students for housing and teaching.

Each Team Will:

  • Pursue and engage in evangelism opportunities

  • We highly advocate the use of direct evangelism. Our teams make a concerted effort to go where the unbelievers are located. Our teams go with a compassion of love to show locals the way of salvation. It takes multiple efforts and extreme patience to reason with locals the tenets of the Gospel. It is the primary method we use to start a believer to maturity in Christ. Other evangelical methods may be utilized as the team sees fit. The church’s mission will be advocated regardless of the event the team is implementing.

  • Train disciples in evangelism and outreach.

  • All church members will be taught to present the Gospel in a clear and concise way. The Team will model the method for evangelism.  The disciples will be expected to go areas where unbelievers are and to share the gospel. They will invite all to fellowship with them when meetings are planned.

  • Ground believers in the truths of God’s Word and Doctrine and to disciple them to become mature followers of Jesus Christ.

  • During church service and Bible studies, and other one on one times early church doctrines will be taught using proof texts throughout Scripture. A posting of church doctrines will be posted in a conspicuous place in the assembly area and on the church’s and team’s website. All church members will sign an acceptance of the church’s doctrine before they partake in a public full-immersion baptism.

 

Seek to establish future church planting teams

  • Our national team has successfully planted a church planting church in the northern Bohemian city of Decin. They have released that congregation to operate with its own leaders.

  • Our plan is to replicate the work in all 14 provinces of the Czech Republic.

  • Our plan is to establish new church planting teams. The church planter pastor will be able to train Czech believers in evangelism and to do effective follow-up. The Teams will be located in any of the 14 Czech Republic provinces.

  • Encourage new churches to establish more church planting churches

  • Once the Team has determined there is sufficient mature leadership within the congregation, they will be encouraged to release the assembly to those elders whom have been selected.

  • The elders will be encouraged to plant more local churches in their immediate vicinity.  Then repeat the method continually.
