The Bucklands were appointed missionaries to Czech Republic in 2013 after pastoring and planting churches in Indiana. Matthew, being raised as a missionary kid in both the Pacific and Europe Regions, has always been connected to missions. Matthew and Angie are heavily involved in training and have re-opened the Bible school in Prague and represent the Global Association of Theological Studies (GATS) in Central Europe. In this capacity, Bro. Buckland travels throughout the sixteen nations of Central/Eastern Europe, helping to start Bible schools, teaching in already established Bible schools, and expanding teacher training for Bible schools throughout Europe.
In the Czech Republic, the Bucklands have helped grow the headquarters church in Prague and spearheaded the effort to establish more works by facilitating Bible Study groups throughout many of the major cities. Due to the growth of the church in Prague, the Bucklands, in unison with the national leadership, have worked to establish a second church within the capital city that focuses on the huge immigrant population, while the headquarters church is able to focus on evangelizing and ministering to the Czech speaking community.
