Join us as we build up a network of small, vibrant church expressions where individuals and communities are introduced to Jesus and served by the believers around them.
Greetings from the Harrodovi! We are a Czech-American couple who are committed to making Jesus known in Post-Christian Europe – an area that has a deep spiritual heritage but is now in dire need of spiritual revival.
The seeds of the Reformation run deep in this area of the world that we have chosen to reach and to call home. Sadly, Europe in general and the Czech Republic specifically have cast off the truths of the gospel that once made her flourish.
It is our prayer that God would reach the heart of Europe, Prague and the Czech Republic, and that Jesus would be made much of on this continent once again.
We invite you to join us as we pursue God’s mission in the Czech Republic and beyond in Europe. Read on to discover how we do it, and how you can invest in and partner with us in the Lord’s work.
“Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease. But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.”
– Jeremiah 29:4-7
We’re Zachary and Michaela Harrodová, a family living in Prague with a heart for people, storytelling, fostering community, and most of all, our Lord Jesus Christ.
We’ve witnessed transformative changes in lives and remain eager to see God continue His work amidst the challenges of this post-Christian landscape.
Today, we’re channeling our energy into initiatives like Kolem Stolu (Around the Table), fostering authentic spiritual connections, and Stōri Kolektif, a creative community that celebrates storytelling and artistry.
It is our prayer that God would reach the heart of Europe, Prague and the Czech Republic with the gospel. We invite you to learn more about how God is enabling us to participate in his mission, then decide on how you may want to join us!

Here’s how we cultivate apprentices of Jesus who actively apprentice others, by creating movement of small, local communities centered on Jesus.
Our aim is to cultivate apprentices of Christ who actively disciple others, and build churches that actively plant other churches.
Serving others and building trust are essential in a post-Christian society. It is for this reason that we place such a high value on investing in relationships while fully immersing ourselves in Czech culture, [and teaching others to do the same]. When we integrate into Czech culture, we are blessed and become a blessing to others.
Once trust is formed and relationships are built, we aim to create a network of missional communities and microchurches that are centered on The Word, community, and service. Building micro-churches requires investing in real relationships that in turn foster accountability and spiritual growth.
Another step along the way is to build up new leaders within the local church in Prague and beyond. This occurs as we work to establish a network of “tables” around the city.
Tables are simply gatherings where we share meals, enjoy fellowship, and study the Word. Our desire is to see a table in every neighborhood in Prague where Jesus is the host. Leaders are built up as they invest deeper into our table ministry and then the cycle of disciple-making continues throughout the Czech Republic. This can only be accomplished through prayer and by the power of the Holy Spirit.
One way we see lives transformed by Jesus is through meeting the immediate needs of those around us.
We find practical ways to serve several people-groups throughout Prague, including: homeless, mothers, families, creatives, and other vulnerable populations we encounter. We recognize that our own welfare is intertwined with the well-being of the community we serve.
Learn more about how you can help us make an eternal difference in the lives of the Czech people. When you partner with us, you’ll be directly impacting our efforts to plant the gospel, make disciples, reach the lost, and enhance the welfare of the local Czech people we encounter.
Start a conversation with us and discover how you can invest more into what God is accomplishing in Prague, the Czech Republic, and post-Christian Europe. We’ll guide you on how best to get updates on what God is accomplishing here, how you can support us financially and in prayer, or how we can provide you with additional spiritual content to fuel your spiritual growth.
We look forward to partnering with you to see God change lives through life-on-life discipleship in Prague, the Czech Republic, and beyond!

In just a few weeks, our family will leave Prague and spend the summer reconnecting with churches, ministry partners, friends, and family across the United States. Before we go, we wanted to share a prayer that has been on our hearts—a prayer for provision, open doors, transformed lives, and the work God continues to do in Prague.
Something is happening in Prague — the quieter kind. Less than one third of one percent of Czechs follow Jesus. We have been here for years setting tables, and this spring we need our people to help us set more. Four or five names. That is it.
I’ve spent nearly two decades as a missionary in Prague, Czech Republic. This is the honest answer I wish someone had given me when I was trying to figure out if missionary work was right for me. No romanticism. Just real experience, real costs, and a practical way forward.
We are coming to you this summer — and we need your help to make it count. From mid-June through late August we will be moving from DC to Florida to Wisconsin to Connecticut, with three kids including a baby in tow. We have been praying over this trip for months....
We often say that we treat our website like a guest table—a place where anyone can come, listen in, and interact with what God is doing here in Prague. But for those who want to pull up a chair at the family table—to partner with us in prayer and financially—we send...
There is a quiet moment in the resurrection story that is easy to miss. Mary Magdalene stands outside the tomb, weeping. She has come expecting to find a body, to complete what had been interrupted, to grieve what she believes is over. When she turns and sees Jesus,...
There is a kind of silence that feels empty. And then there is the kind that feels full. Holy Saturday is the second kind. It sits between what has already happened and what has not yet been seen. The work of the cross is finished, but the resurrection has not yet...
Good Friday centers on a statement that is easy to read and difficult to live from. In John’s account, Jesus reaches the end of His suffering and says, “It is finished.” He is not summarizing what just happened. He is declaring that the work He came to do has been...
We have arrived to Thursday in Holy Week, it’s easy to shrink what’s happening into something small and familiar. We picture a quiet moment, a piece of bread, a small cup, something almost symbolic and contained. But that isn’t what this was. This was a table. A...
