Sending Agency: SWBIBLE

The Czech Republic

Email: Marshall & Cathryn (a good way to get on their prayer support team)

Marshall and Cathryn have been in the Czech Republic since 1989 and are directly sent out by SWBIBLE. Their main desire is to be a witness to the presence of God in this atheistic country and to help build up the church.

Marshall has long been involved in preparing pastors to accurately teach the Word of God through a variety of different teaching opportunities. Marshall’s job description has included teaching seminary courses, functioning as interim pastor at their church in Celakovice, meeting to disciple the elders and traveling to teach in many places through Czech and Eastern Europe. Cathryn is involved in a variety of ministries: being a wife and mother, helping run an evangelistic kids club, a women’s Bible study, meeting with other women in discipling and encouraging relationships, ministering on the board of a Christian school in Prague. Their family has been involved in evangelistic camps that use English as a method to share the gospel to the Czech community and discipleship camps directed toward missionary children. Teams from SWBIBLE have joined with the Browns at these camps in the past.

From 2013 through February 2021, Marshall served on the Romans Project team as International Deputy Director, then as the International Director. Marshall traveled to Czech to meet with RP Country Directors (mostly in Africa) and taught at pastors’ conferences. He also oversaw the translation of the Romans Project messages to allow for the expansion to pastors in non-English speaking countries. He has now transitioned from RP work to regularly traveling to Africa to teach modules for the Pastors Training Program in multiple countries. Krista is working to increase communication about and visibility of the Pastors Training Program.

Marshall & Cathryn are currently ministering from Georgia while they help Cathryn’s parents for several months.
