A family who heard the gospel for the first time surrendered their lives to Our Saviour, a few days later they where found throwing out and burning the idols which they had been worshipping. This was very interesting for me as it was the first city I smuggled Bibles etc into in the 1960’s. I will be visiting them later in the year. This story via by OM Slovenia. Please pray for the OM Team there.

A few weeks ago I wrote asking for everyone to pray regarding the large commercial tent that was being held up in customs for use in the refugee camp. Our God is so faithful and answered prayer regarding this and the tent was released without having to pay any import tax on it. They were asking for 1000 Euro’s.

Breaking news from the UK

11.02.2022 written by: Tony Packer

Breaking news from the UK, 11th February 2022 This week I had to break the news to the workers in Serbia that I shall not be able to returned as promised later this month. For those of you who didn’t know, I have been waiting for a hip operation. A few weeks ago I received a letter to say that it's going to be a long wait. Last Thursday I made all the plans and was ready to purchase travel tickets on the Friday when the phone rang, it was my consultant saying that he is going to operate on the 26th March (next month). All of us are happy and sad at the same time, happy that the operation is going ahead and no more pain, sadness because I was getting all excited about returning to the country God gave me so many years ago to work in. July will be the earliest I will be able to return. God Bless - Tony

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERY ONE OF YOU

Luke 10 v 1 – 3. As I sat thinking and praying about what I should write in my first update, I realised that whatever I wrote will also apply to me. Sixty years ago (1962) God spoke to me from the above verses and within a few months, I found myself on Operation Mobilisation. I often prayed for workers then felt God saying why are you not going. I was young free and had no commitments other than to serve Our Lord and Master. The photo of George Verwer and myself was taken last November at an exhibition in London, how true those words, didn’t notice them when the photo was taken. A photo of the world was taken in Athens at a conference at a very early morning prayer meeting. Many of those in that photo are serving the Lord overseas. So for 2022, I encourage you, wherever you are, whatever your situation is, let our lives live for Him. Let us pray for the world and let us pray for each other. The world is a small place now as we have so many nationalities living in our local areas. The world is at our feet.
God Bless – Praying for you – Tony Packer

As I look back over 2021 it’s been another difficult year as we come to terms with the pandemic, we have lost loved ones, either through COVID19 and many are coming to terms with the health issues afterwards, or through other illnesses. My prayer is, as we enter into this Christmas period that you may know His Peace and strength, many will be standing with you in Prayer, you are not alone.
I send Christmas greetings to you all from our brothers and sisters in Serbia and they too thank you for your prayers and support over the past 12 months.

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

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.
