Grady, Miriam
Serving in Czech Republic | Acct # 12730
When Miriam was a young girl, she was fascinated by the gymnasts from the hard-to-pronounce country of Czechoslovakia. Then while attending Covenant College, Miriam participated in a semester-long program in Olomouc, Czech Republic. Following graduation, Miriam went to Trnava, Slovakia, to build relationships, disciple teenagers, organize English Camps, and help plant a church. The church in Trnava has fruitfully continued without missionaries and is an official church with a Slovak pastor.
In 2012 Miriam was privileged to adopt her son, Evan. Two years later Miriam and Evan moved to Zlin, Czech Republic, where Miriam supported her local Czech church by discipling students, organizing discipleship and English camps, and neighborhood outreach. In the Lord’s providence, the young adults (the former teenagers) and the church as a whole, faithfully continues the ministry without the aid of missionaries.
In 2021 the Gradys moved to Prague to work with DoSlova (In the Word), a Czech/English church plant. Miriam ministers to children and youth, grows disciples, and helps with church administration. Together the Czech team is developing a multi-cultural community to serve the people of Prague through the gospel of Christ.
