René Drápala, pastor of Zlín church, with family - wife Renata, children Daniela and Tobiaš.

Our primary ministry is church planting.  Presently we are serving with the Reformed Church which is Presbyterian, Covenantal and Reformed.  The Reformed Church is a new denomination in the Czech Republic with an organized church in Zlín with a vision to start home church groups in towns near by.  English and a Bible study ministries exist in Skavíčin, a town near to Zlin.

The first church of the Reformed Church was organized in Zlín in Moravia (southeast Cz. Rep.) in December 2000.  René Drápala and Mirek Štica are the Ruling Elders of this church and René is a licensure of the presbytery and serves as the student pastor.  He is studying by extension with RTS.  René also leads a Bible study in a nearby town.  MTW supports the ministry of this church and René in various ways.

Presently, all MTW missionaries in the Czech Republic (Andersons and Deutschmanns) serve in Zlín with the Reformed church.
