About

CZ ALIVE

We believe that a lifestyle of discipleship will change the world

Why?

Our keys values

We follow Jesus

Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. We lead our lives centred around Him. Following His teachings and surrendering to His Lordship. He is the saviour, redeemer and friend of those who surrender to Him.

We obey God's words

The Bible is our basis for a fulfilled, Christ-centred, and God-fearing life. God’s living word, inerrant, infallible, useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, is our reference point.

We are Holy Spirit empowered

To be a fruitful witness, we depend on the power of the Holy Spirit. It is through His indwelling that we have been made alive, enabled to break with destructive behaviours, unto personal restoration and sanctification.

We spread the Gospel

Called to be a witness unto the salvation of many, we proclaim the Gospel, set captives free and heal the sick unto the glory of Jesus Christ. Whether in season or out of season, we spread the gospel with complete patience and endurance.

We serve others

To be servants of the Most High means serving each other, looking to the interests of others rather than our own. We serve unto salvation, transformation and sanctification in the lives of those who want to be served. Following in the footsteps of the one who served us first.

We give unconditionally

Jesus gave Himself unconditionally, demonstrating God’s love through His unreserved sacrifice. Similarly, we give ourselves unreservedly to those who want to grow, mature and come into the fullness of Christ.

We present everyone mature in Christ

Our work finishes when we present everyone mature in Christ. For he is the one worthy of our complete dedication. It has to be Christ! no more, no less.

Statement
of faith

Jesus Christ is the true God and true man (Phil. 2:6-11). He was sent by the Father (John 20:21), conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin, Mary (Luke 1:34-38). He died on the cross, the Just for the unjust (1 Pet. 3:18), as a substitutionary sacrifice (Heb. 2:9), and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood (Rom. 5:9). He rose from the dead according to the Scriptures (1 Cor. 15:3-4). He is now at the right hand of the Majesty on high as our great High Priest (Heb. 8:1). He will come again to establish His Kingdom of righteousness and peace (Isa. 9:6-7).

Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all people (1 John 2:2). Those who repent and believe in Him are justified by grace through faith (Rom. 3:21-24), born again of the Holy Spirit (Titus 3:4-7), delivered from the dominion of darkness, transferred into the Kingdom of God’s Son (Col. 1:13), granted the gift of eternal life, and adopted as the children of God (Rom. 8:14-16; John 1:12).

It is the will of God that each believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit and be sanctified wholly (1 Thessalonians 5:23), being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to the will of God, thereby receiving power for holy living and effective service (Acts 1:8). This is both a crisis and a progressive experience wrought in the life of the believer followed after conversion (Romans 6:1–14).

The Church consists of all those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, and are born again by the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of His Body (Eph. 1:22-23, Col. 1:18), the Church, which has been commissioned by Him to go into all the world making disciples of all peoples (Matt. 24:14, 28:19-20).

The local church is a body of believers in Christ (Eph. 5:30) who are called to love (1 Thess. 3:12) and joined together for the worship of God, edification through the Word of God, prayer, fellowship, proclamation of the gospel through word and deed (Luke 4:18-19), and observance of the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper (Acts 2:41-47).

History

In 2005, the Lord birthed a longing for mission work in Rianne’s heart. A small seed that grew for roughly 15 years until it became a reality. After marrying Robbert in 2010, the two passionate Jesus followers had their own careers, Robbert serving in law enforcement and Rianne in education. These careers changed with a dream given to Robbert by the Lord in 2018, which marked the start of what would become CZ Alive. After having been accepted as candidate missionaries with the Dutch branch of the Christian and Missionary Alliance (CAMA), they sold their beloved house in Dordrecht and began their intercultural studies at Cornerstone Bible College in 2019.

In 2021, the couple moved with their two daughters to Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic to begin their assignment. Today, their pioneering work has grown into a full-fledged ministry. Primarily focusing on reaching, disciplining, and teaching Generation Z, so that they too will stand perfect before Jesus.

“We love Jesus, His word, His mission, and His bride with our entire being. Therefore, we do not let our enthusiasm cool down, but we are on FIRE serving the LORD so that the Czech Republic may come ALIVE.”

Romans 12:11 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. (ESV)
