Slovak-speaking Jewish in Slovakia

Jews have been in Slovakia since the 14th century. They have been persecuted severely throughout Slovakian history. Through the centuries most Slovakian Jews moved to cities and acquired skills as artisans, merchants and shopkeepers. Jewish people in Slovakia need the opportunity to understand the perfect justice of the gospel of Jesus Christ, who loves them and laid down his life for them.

Ministry Obstacles

Although they continue to experience separation from other Slovakian people, their religion is largely inward-looking. They seldom discuss spiritual matters with outsiders.

Outreach Ideas

The complete Bible has been printed in Slovakian, and audio and visual resources are available for the Slovakian Jewish people. Jewish people working in Slovakian cities may be reached by Jesus followers as they meet in the business world. Someone needs to go to them.

Scripture Focus

"And he asked them, But who do you say that I am? Peter answered him, You are the Christ."  Mark 8:29

Scripture Prayer

Pray that this people would believe and proclaim, like Peter, that Jesus Christ is their Savior and Lord.

Prayer Focus

Pray that when Slovakian Jews hear the gospel, they would respond with heart-felt obedience. Pray for a mighty movement of this people group starting within families and growing into strong Bible teaching fellowships filled with disciples who will reach others. Pray that Christ-honoring families would be sent out to introduce Slovak-speaking Jewish families to their Messiah.
