The nation of Czech Republic (Czechia) is widely regarded as the most atheistic nation in Europe. Alžběta Špičáková (Betty or Beth for short), Every Home’s ministry director for the nation, believes otherwise. She and her team are leading a movement to challenge this label and empower local churches to reach a spiritually hungry population. Listen in as Betty shares about her life, ministry, and passion for her nation in conversation with Tanner Peake on this episode of Redeeming Missions! Alžběta will leave you encouraged and inspired to see the people in your world and care about them in practical ways, even in difficult places.

Alžběta leads Every Home’s ministry in Czechia. She lives in Ústí nad Labem, Czechia near the Germany border, with her husband Bronislav and their 3 children. Through her creative and compassionate ministry, Every Home is mobilizing the church in Czechia to carry Christ to everyone, everywhere, in every generation in this nation.
