May I take this opportunity of wishing you a Happy New Year, Philippians 3 verses 12 - 14 is very real to me right now at the beginning of this New Year. In 2022, we saw many answers to prayer in the Balkans, indeed great answers to pray which have encouraged me to pray for greater things for 2023. We Praise God that the booklet The Missing Peace came off the printing press in Russian and Ukrainian in time for Christmas here in the UK for use in the Avonmouth and Royal Portbury docks. Already these booklets have gone out, and we are praying for God’s blessing on those who are reading them. Today, I leave for Australia to see my family there but will keep you up with any news from the Balkans and Beyond. Praying for you all. God Bless - Tony

We are please to tell you all that the versions of The Missing Peace in Russian and Ukraine have now been printed and available on the GlobalPassion and MissingPeace web sites. Right now they are available in the UK and early next year will be available in the Balkans, it is available to download for free. We give thanks and Praise to God for this, we also thank Nadia who has spent so much time in getting these versions translated and checked. We ask that you will continue to pray that God will take this booklet and use it for His Glory, what a joy it is when people come up to you and say, ‘we found the Saviour through this booklet’. Thank you all again for your prayers and support over the past year and I pray God’s Blessings upon you over this Christmas period where ever you are, God Bless – Brother Tony.

Lidia went to be with her Saviour early on Monday morning after much suffering. Please pray for David and the family at this time. They moved to Trieste not long after they were married in Spain, to work among the Yugoslavians, I had the joy of living with them in 1965 and through them, became involved in the outreach to the Balkan countries and beyond. David and Lidia were such a great inspiration and mentors to me, not only while I lived with them but unto this day. They worked so faithfully for Our Lord and Saviour and their vision for the Balkan countries continues to this day. Thanking God for you, David and Lidia in obeying His call and serving Him so faithfully. I close with Philippians 3 v 10, 'That I may know Christ and the power of His resurrection', This certainly showed in your lives.

Dear Praying friends around the world, thank you for your faithfulness. This past month we have seen so much answer to prayer, it thrills my heart and causes me to believe God for bigger and greater things. Please give Him all the Thanks, Praise and Glory – God Bless you. A week ago it was time to say goodbye to Serbia, so I took the Pastor and his wife and another key worker and family out for a meal. He is giving up a very good job and going into full time service from January 1st 2023, his name Boban, please remember him and family in your prayers. My last Sunday here and we visited a small church, Boban preached and then asked me to share. In that meeting was the younger brother of my dear friend Simo (now with the Lord) he was so delighted and afterwards kept hugging me with tears in our eyes. Maybe, in January I will write a report about Simo Ralevic. Thank you all again for your prayers, this truly was a remarkable visit - Tony.
