In the 1990 U.S. census, about 1.3 million Americans claimed Czech ancestry. Another 300,000 Americans claimed Czechoslovak ancestry. (Czechoslovakia was divided into the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 1993.)Over 92,000 Americans speak Czech at home (number 28 on the list of 50 Most Common Languages in the U.S. (1990 figures).
Many Czechs and Slovaks emigrated to the United States following the USSR invastion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. Most of the new arrivals settled in large cities such as New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Cleveland, and Washington, D.C. Other Czech refugees settled in Canada and West Germany.

Information for Churches
Perhaps you've noticed that several Czech families have moved into your community. Your church would like to get acquainted with them and find ways to serve your new neighbors. But how can you begin?Begin by cultivating a loving heart, a listening ear, and the habit of prayer. Look for opportunities to learn about other cultures and develop skills for cross-cultural communication. There are lots of resources on this site, including the article "How to Start a Cross-Cultural Ministry," that can help you prepare to move forward in faith.
The Jesus Film is a great way to share the gospel in the "heart language" of your Czech neighbors. Campus Crusade for Christ has produced this beautiful film of the gospel of Luke and translated it into over 600 languages, including Czech. Your church can buy a video for less than $20 and sponsor a "Czech Night" to show the film and begin a dialogue. Ask Czech leaders in the community if they would like to see the film and if they'll help you invite other families.
To order the Jesus Film, visit Jesusfilm.org. Or order by phone from Campus Crusade at 1-800-432-1997.
You can also view the Jesus Film online in Czech. (You will need to download the RealAudio Player, available free at the site.)
