Czech Republic Extra Giving Opportunities

Evangelical Church Of Czech Brethren

Diakonie 

(Health) 

The Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren established Diakonie on June 1, 1989 as an organization to care for persons with special needs. After a gap of 40 years (during the communist era) the church is again involved in service to others. The Diakonia represents the outstretched arm of the church, reaching out to society, to respond to its needs. The Diakonie currently manages 32 centers that provide a variety of services to help children with special needs, the elderly and those in various forms of crisis.

Hospice 

(Health)        

In the Czech Republic, the needs of the dying often go unmet, and even unrecognized. The Diaconia (the social-service arm of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren) is creating a hospice facility that will provide direct care to the terminally ill and respite care to their family caregivers. It will also serve as a much-needed (first of its kind) training center for health care workers from around the country.

(Mission)

Since the overthrow of the communist regime in 1989, increasing numbers of laity are seeking theological education along with those preparing for various professions in central Europe. The Protestant Theological Faculty of Charles University is an interdenominational, ecumenically open theological school. Funds will aid the seminary in training new ministers for service in the region.
