Teaching

Henry lectures at the university level in the Czech Republic as well as in U.S. He also speaks to groups. Lectures are specified to the themes that had not been taught for decades and also do not appear too much from the point of view of Christianity until now.

Henry teaches social psychology, focusing on the development of human individuality in society, to personality, faith and God in our inner world. We explore topics such as the purpose of human existence, inner conflicts, interpersonal problems, family, education, problems of society, psychology of society, totality, democracy, freedom and freedom of denomination, persecution of churches and its results, psychology of the culture and of the nation.

Meetings and Groups

Learning is more powerful in the context of common meetings, sharing, practicing faith, and common discussions, just being together and playing as a form of learning, and mainly common prayer as well as common help to needy.

Groups are formed by students as well by people from different professions: from politicians, through all kinds of different professions to prisoners, where is the activity more missions oriented.

A special group that meets in Prague is a big number of pastors and missioners of different churches and denominations, usually of English speaking community who work in CZ. The purpose is to connect each other, create ecumenical meetings and cooperation between different people, who have the same vision. Common meetings and new personal friendships through all churches is in a country that used to be historically and traditionally separated is very useful.

Prison Ministry

We have been blessed by starting the Prison Fellowship International in Czech Republic. Gabriela is the founder of the CZ PFI. In our country we are starting our first prison project with women prison Svetla nad Sazavou, where a group of volunteers will cooperate with leaders of the prison to help women individually with their transformation back to civil life during several months of individual sessions in the prison. We trust that prisoners can be changed through the power and love of Jesus Christ only.

We also work with a variety of prison groups in cooperation with The Salvation Army.

Public promotion

There is a big spiritual vacuum in the Czech society, which had missed freedom and inner conviction for forty years. Mainly, many historical problems have yet to be addressed.

Therefore, Henry has written a book, Psychology of Communism, which deals with freedom, persecution, incarceration, but also psychology of ordinary day, school, churches, and institution of family, interpersonal relationships, stress, tiredness, and desires of people during the totality. It describes in details the direct pressure toward churches, the life of believers and mainly the psychological and social changes. It describes the development of life style during the period of communism and the way out of it.
