Missionary Highlight:
Steve James, IMB Missionary
Prague, Czech Republic

Steve James serves in Prague, the capital city of Czech Republic, which in earlier times was
combined with Slovakia in the communist nation of Czechoslovakia. Prague's streets and buildings are much improved since Czech Republic became part of the European Community; prosperity has increased for the country's 10 million+ people. Prague is a beautiful city, more than 1,000 years old.

But most Czechs are apathetic to the Gospel. Steve and his wife are media workers who produce videos and print materials about countries throughout Eastern Europe to inform and link up U.S. churches with our missionaries in this huge, challenging region. Informed Baptists can pray better, support missions better and respond more effectively to Eastern European spiritual needs.

The Jameses also work with a church in Prague. They ask that Baptists pray for Pavel, a young man
who came to the church to learn English. Pray for the Jameses, our media missionaries, as they work to keep Baptists informed about Eastern Europe and as they also work to reach the people of Prague.
