After quite a long illness and discomfort, dear brother Simo Ralevic was called home to be with his Lord and Saviour this morning 30th Nov. 2021.
I met Simo and his dear wife (also with her Lord) back in the Sixties and they were a leading light in sharing and spreading the gospel in the then Yugoslavia which was under Communism. Simo was also imprisoned on a number of occasions in those early days. Lets us give Thanks and Praise to God for his life, being a faithful servant, also please pray for all the family at this time. A further report on the work will follow this weekend. God Bless you all – Brother Tony

Here are two 3 min videos of the young people enjoying themselves at summer camp. Every morning and evening started with a Bible study and by the end of the week, many had made decisions to follow Our Lord. For the older group there was more in depth teaching which enhanced their walk with their Lord.

I have spoken about Stefan many times in my reports. I met Stefan when visiting the Bible School in Nis, Southern Serbia where he was a student and soon learned that he was the grandson of my dear friend Simo. He had a real passion for the Lord and to serve Him faithfully, He turned down the offer of a three year Bible study course at London Bible College to remain in Serbia and serve his Lord. Last year Stefan married a lovely Christian Lady called Daniela and now they serve Our Lord and Saviour in the Northern town called Backa Palanka. Stefan and Daniela have a heart for the young people and we are seeing many come to Jesus as their Saviour. Stefan is also a very good teacher of the Word to both young and older people and is involved in a number of churches in all areas of the Balkans. Young as he is, please pray for him and Daniela that their lives will be a wonderful example to all who connect with them. God Bless - Tony.

Let us Praise and Thank God for these young people as they go out on the streets and door to door with the gospel. Pray for them, young as they are that God will give them the right words to say at the right time. Pray that souls will be added to the church there and give thanks to God for the many that have already been saved. They all send greetings in the Name of the Lord to all our web readers. God Bless – Brother Tony

I am sorry to bring you sad news from the Balkans and Bristol. Three weeks ago our dear brother Timothy Ralevic was rushed into hospital with COVID-19. At first he made a brief recovery but God called him home a week ago. We shall miss him greatly. His father Simo is also poorly (not COVID-19) and wasn’t able to attend the funeral.

Yesterday I had the joy of sharing on video with brother Simo, Stefan was visiting his grandfather (Simo) in Arandelovac and it was a great joy to have sweet fellowship with him. He is now very ill and ready for his heavenly Father to take him home. I have known Simo since 1965 and God has used him greatly over the many years. He also served many sentences of imprisonment under communism for the sake of the gospel. Please pray that he may be kept comfortable in these later days.

As you are all aware I was hoping to have travelled back to the Balkans this month but after seeing my consultant regarding pain in my right hip, this now is impossible and I am waiting for an operation due later this year or early next. Please pray that it will be sooner rather than later. But I will end on some good news. Within a few days Stefan along with the young people will be visiting every home in Backa Palanka. Stefan is the pastor of the church in Backa Palanka and was married just a few months ago. I'll do a short write up about them next week. God Bless – Brother Tony

A email received today quoted this: -

I’m ready to die for Jesus but I don’t want to die unknown.

Let us lift our Brothers and Sisters in Afghanistan up in prayer. Father God, we pray for our brothers and sisters in Afghanistan as they face the unknown that you will give them strength to stand firm for you. As we pray for them, we pray that their example will be an encouragement to us all. Give us strength Lord to Walk the Walk and Talk the Talk Amen - Brother Tony - Philippians 1 v 21

I just want to share with you the joy I had and  the excitement that Steve Loader had when I handed over two boxes of The Missing Peace in Tagalog. We had a time of prayer and Steve asked if I could get The Missing Peace translated and printed into Russian, Ukraine and Indonesian. All things are possible and I am sure Our Lord will lead us to the right people for this job. The Missing Peace can be downloaded from our Partner https://www.themissingpeace.org/Booklet/ - God Bless - Tony.
