Adam and Carilyn Kristofik

Missionaries in the Czech Republic

“Ahoj!” from Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic! Our three girls, Lucrezia, Anastasia, and Zerkova, as well as Karilyn and I, send our greetings from Central Europe! We are here for a total of two years thanks to Carilyn’s job opportunity. We are excited to be in the Czech Republic because we believe God has called us here to serve Him in the ministry! Currently, I have been able to share the Gospel, fellowship with other Czech Christians, and preach at the Reformed Presbyterian Church in Prague! I am in the process of completing my ordination requirements. Once these are fulfilled, we will raise the necessary financial support to settle in the Czech Republic! We ask for your prayers as we continue to pursue this goal!

In Christ Alone,

Adam, Karilyn, Zerkova, Anastasia, and Lucrezia Kristofik

Matthew and Maggie Loftus

Missionaries in Chogoria, Kenya

We live and work in Chogoria, Kenya at PCEA Chogoria Hospital. From 2018-2023, we worked at AIC Litein Hospital. Before that, we worked in Yei, South Sudan before we had to unexpectedly evacuate. Before that, we lived for 6 years in the Sandtown-Winchester neighborhood of Baltimore (where we are still members of New Song Community Church). Matthew is a family doctor who likes to write. Maggie is a mother-baby nurse who likes to take pictures. We send out email updates roughly once a month with more details of our work, prayer requests, and pictures. If you’d like to support us financially (we have to raise all of our own support), you may visit matthewandmaggie.org to do so as well as for more information.

You can e-mail Matthew at Loftus.Matthew@gmail.com
