Czech Republic Prague

■Marek & Sally Jaxa-Rozen (TELA Prague Church)

Ahoj! We really appreciate your intercessory prayers and precious offerings for us!

　In the Czech Republic, parliamentary elections took place on October 3-4, the day before a special prayer meeting to pray for the peace in Jerusalem. The populist party led by former Prime Minister Andrej Babiš emerged as the largest party.

　The Babiš administration has pledged to abolish Ukraine support policies and also advocates a “Czech First” principle. Consequently, the likelihood of military aid to Ukraine ceasing is very high. The Czech Republic already hosts many Ukrainians living in the country and war refugees. We are concerned that the already deteriorating relations between Ukrainians and Czechs within the country will worsen further, potentially leading to more frequent disturbances and riots.

　Thinking of Pastor Volodja and his church in Ukraine, with whom our church shares a close friendship, it pains me deeply that the previous Fiala administration was so thoroughly supportive of Ukraine. These days, I find myself thinking we must pray even more fervently for the future actions of this new Czech government!

　Amidst this, our close friend, Mr. O.H., a devout Catholic and member of the Christian Democratic Party, achieved success in this election and secured a seat. Before the election, he participated in various meetings at Catholic and Protestant churches, asking for prayers of intercession, so many brothers and sisters prayed for him. We saw the answer to those prayers! Hallelujah!

　However, at the same time, Mr. O.T., who is Mr. O.H’s younger brother and was my former president, invited me to the Czech Republic and is now the leader of a far-right party, is close to Mr. Babiš. A new cabinet is being formed based on three parties: the populist party, his party, and another party. Mr. T. is also beginning to rise to prominence within the Czech government. Both are close friends familiar to us. Moving forward, we will keep a close eye on the actions of these two individuals while continuing to intercede and pray for them.

　The mission trip to Europe in December has been postponed until January next year. The Christmas concerts in Prague and Germany that many brothers and sisters were looking forward to have also been canceled. We’ve received passionate requests saying, “Please hold a gospel concert when the mission team comes!” Kokoro Gospel in Europe! Please pray that it may be realized in January, if it would be God’s will!

　Thank you so much for always interceding and praying for us and the Prague church! Now, ahoj!
