Ministry Summary
Slovakia Ministry Summary

After 40 years of communist oppression, there is now religious freedom for all Slovaks. This freedom is provided for in the constitution and is being respected by the government. Lutherans comprise the second-largest Christian group in Slovakia.

LCMS World Mission began work in Slovakia in 1991. LCMS GEO (long-term) missionaries have shared the Gospel in church-related schools and small-group Bible studies; they have used printed materials, radio and television ministry to reach the lost in Slovakia; and provided theological materials for Sunday schools and leadership training. Outreach projects have also touched children with disabilities and the Roma (Gypsy) population.

LCMS World Relief and Human Care began work in Slovakia in 1993, remodeling a center for conferences and youth retreats, and providing food service for the poor.

The Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Slovakia currently reports a baptized membership of 329,117 in 602 congregations and preaching stations, and a national staff of 302 ordained pastors and 171 teachers. The church operates nine schools and the Evanjelicka Bohoslovecka Fakulta Seminary.

The main purpose of our ministry is to witness and share the Good News, which is what our partners want to do! Moreover, they do not want only to “touch” those who have not yet heard the Message of Salvation, but they also desire to keep them involved and active, changing their lives completely!

 

Rebuilding and furnishing the old parish house will transform it into the Youth Center, where they want to start new sorts of evangelism efforts and activities that will, with God’s Help, reach out to the untouched persons and bring their lives to Him. This project will create the environment for activities (described in a consequent project) through which an estimated 500 persons—of all age, gender, social, educational, religious, and national groups—will be reached during one year.

They have spent much time, money, and effort (without any external help, they have invested approximately $35,000) to transform the old parish house. Young people are the future of the congregation, and thus they want to share the Good Message especially with them!
