I find important, that we should not judge according to appearance, but according to what people are like on the inside.

Impact
Since its launch, the Healthy Youth programme has become a vital tool for sharing Christ’s love in the Czech Republic. With over 30 workers reaching schools, INCZ provides support on sensitive topics like abortion, gender, and behaviour. The programme currently reaches more than 73,000 students annually, with plans to employ four additional workers to meet the growing demand for spiritual guidance and emotional support in classrooms across the country.
Support Healthy Youth workers in the Czech Republic to continue reaching thousands of students with Christ-centred guidance. Your contribution helps employ new workers, expands outreach to more schools, and provides life-changing resources to youth facing emotional struggles and spiritual challenges.
Grace in unexpected circumstances
Last June, I visited a seventh-grade class where I met a young girl who was five months pregnant. Her situation was challenging for everyone—her family, her classmates, and the teachers, who were uncertain how to handle it. The father of the child, an older boy, was facing legal trouble, and her family struggled to decide what to do. It was a heartbreaking scenario for a 14-year-old.
I recently revisited the class and was relieved to hear that her baby was born healthy and that both she and her boyfriend, who received a suspended sentence, were raising the child together, with the support of her parents as guardians. While not an easy path, they are working through it responsibly.
Through our program, I also shared with the students a message of empathy and grace, encouraging them to support one another. The class responded beautifully, and by the end of the program, they were recognized for their growth and understanding. God’s grace truly knows no limits.
