Tram Carrying Message of Faith Roaming Prague's Streets

Prague Morning

Starting in early August, a tram is operating across Pragueโ€™s streets covered with messages promoting Christianity.

The goal of the project is to help passengers become more familiar with faith and the Gospel.

The funding for this effort came from church donations and cost around CZK 1 million. Passengers will see signs like โ€œFeeling stressed? Get to know the King of Peaceโ€ โ€œWant love? Love is searching for youโ€ or โ€œNeed a miracle? Meet the God of Miracles.โ€

Josef Bajzรญk, the person behind the project, explains, โ€œWe want to share the Gospel in new, modern ways. Weโ€™re saying that Jesus has the answers, and God brings peace and love.โ€

However, not everyone is excited about the idea. Some people on social media and even some church members have criticized the tram.

Pastor Karel Berka, for example, says, โ€œI see this tram going through nรกmฤ›stรญ Mรญru. I respect it, but I donโ€™t like how itโ€™s forcing itself on people. I think these things need to be handled carefully.โ€

However, the Prague Transport Company views this form of advertising as acceptable, with DPP spokesperson Aneta Rehkova stating, โ€œUpon investigation, we have determined that it adheres to the established regulations.โ€

So, this tram, covered in messages of faith, keeps moving through Prague, starting conversations and making people think about their beliefs.
