We are a Czech-German couple. Irene Neustupny grew up in the former GDR and fled in 1953. Paul Neustupny is a native Czech and fled in 1968 to Munich after the breakdown of the "Prague Spring". We live in Berlin and have six married children, 15 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.

In the summer of 2002 we founded Go East, a missionary ministry for east European countries with special emphasis on the Czech Republic and Estonia. We are based in Berlin. From here we travel to the East and also realize outreaches with small teams.
