Introduction / History

Slovak language has some similarities to Czech but is different. Slovakia was part of Czechoslovakia until it became an independent country in 1993. They began to migrate to countries with strong economies during that time. One of these countries was Austria.


What Are Their Lives Like?

Many Slovaks work in industry, but they have contributed to Austria in many ways. Some are noted scientists. Others are politicians or professional athletes. They like sports such as football and tennis and like to go to the cinema. Slovaks like folk music and making pottery.

Cabbage soup and dumplings with cheese are popular Slovak dishes. Guests to a Slovak home usually take off their shoes.


What Are Their Beliefs?

Most Slovaks are Catholics in a traditional way and there are a number of atheists. Belief in the supernatural in some regions leads them to perform religious rituals.


What Are Their Needs?

Slovaks in Austria need to see beyond institutional religion. They need a firm relationship with Jesus Christ if they are ever going to enjoy the abundant life he promises.


Prayer Points

Pray that the religious traditionalists and even atheists will come to a living relationship with Jesus Christ.
