Like everywhere else, the Balkans are in complete lockdown but our young men are using their time in keeping in touch with all the contacts through the wonderful technology we have. I believe that nothing but good will come out of this and already stories are filtering through how people are reading the Bible and praying more through this crisis. It’s good that I too can stay in contact with so many and continue to encourage and pray with and for them.

The Hindi version of The Missing Peace has now been printed in the UK and will be ready for distribution as soon as possible.

The Hungarian version is now being checked and God Willing be printed soon.

The Spanish version – We are pulling out the stops to get this printed when things start to move again.

PRAYER

For a missionary family home from Chad, He is seriously ill with the virus and now in hospital.

For all missionaries worldwide who are still serving the Lord in places where He has called them.

Pray for a Mission out in the Far East (cannot reveal details) as they care for 100’s of young children, every care is being taken to protect them, but many do not understand what is happening to them. To date, all are well.

For all the Doctors, Nurses, Ambulance personal Police and care workers and many other organisations who are caring and serving for so many at this time.

And of course, let us pray for each other and also to allow God to speak to us.

Please drop me a line if you need prayer though this difficult time, I am aware that many will be facing many difficulties through not working etc, God Bless Tony

The gentleman in the photo above is called Andrew Hepburn, he is one of the organisers of the conference. Please pray for him, a few days before the conference he was rushed into hospital with a heart attack. We praise and thank God for answered prayer and is now after an operation he's back home and yesterday (Wednesday) he went for his first walk outside. Andrew works for our Lord in Laos. Thank you again for your prayers, I'm praying for you all, young and old as we face future and not knowing how long this virus will be with us. For you older people who have to remain indoor more than you would like to be, I'm praying for you. God Bless - Tony

There was uncertainty about the conference, should it go ahead or not? However, the organisers felt that it was too short notice to cancel it. Numbers were really down and it was felt the conference should close in the afternoon as the evening speaker (Matthew Skirton of OM) had to self isolate, this still turned out to be a blessed time as those who came to listen to the speakers with great interest and were able to speak with the many of the missionary exhibitors afterwards. I was so thrilled when a young man came up to me and asked if we had some books for a young Christian, he came to know the Lord 3 months ago. Pray for Rob as he grows in the faith. Many too, were looking for books to help then in a closer walk with Our Lord.

It was great to meet up with Sasa again as he leads up the work in a difficult area of Nis, I was there three years ago and spoke at the church when there were only a few people gathering. It was a great joy to see so many people meeting together and the work has grown. Will be spending time with Sasa next year. Please continue to pray for him as he serves the Lord in Serbia, as you can see prayers are being answered and we are looking to God for greater things. God Bless - Tony
