October 2024 Update

Stacks Image 6463
Dear loved ones, I just want to share a brief up date on my health. Last week I was able to leave my brace off for short times, now I’m not using it at all and I feel so different and walking well, I’ve also been encouraged at physio to start walking with one stick until the muscles are strong again.

News in from Serbia: - Three young men have been attending church and regular contact is being made with them, other churches in the area are also seeing new people. God answers PRAYER. Please pray that they will give their lives over to Him. Some of you know that I am involved in a number of other countries which I cannot share on social media however, I am excited to share that two men from different gangs have given their lives to the Lord and attending the same church. The POWER OF PRAYER. In another area through street outreach people are asking the Lord into their lives. God is at work and as you pray for and with us, you too, are part of this great commission in seeking the lost. I must, we must, believe God for greater things. God Bless - He is faithful. Blessings, Tony.

(As promised, a video from my webmaster of his Philippians missionary trip is still being edited).

Autumn Update

Thank you for your prayers, God is certainly answering them. I had a new brace put on a few weeks back so that I could bend my knee and strengthen the tendons, after yesterdays visit to the hospital the surgeon adjusted it to its maximum, and if all goes well the brace may come off in two weeks time.

I’ve not lost contact with the Balkans, Summer camps were a blessing to so many even though there were some difficulties, but when God is working the devil is doing his best to disrupt things. On Sunday a young man stood up in church and asked if he could be baptised, we've been praying for this for a long time. Two other young teenagers have asked for one to one discipleship lessons. Mia, has started her second year in Bible School and growing strong in the Lord.

Around 5000 people have written in asking for books, half of these are first time enquiries, so PRAYERS are being answered. As these books go out and other contacts made, please PRAY believing that God will speak and lives will be changed. Thank you again and may you know God’s Blessings upon your lives.

Health Update

Dear Praying Supporters,
God has certainly been answering prayers over the past few weeks, can’t believe it was five weeks ago since this accident happened. I visited the hospital again and they removed my old cast/brace and replaced it with a new one which will allow me to start bending my knee, plus they give me a list of exercises I have to do everyday. Before putting the new brace back on they did some tests and were very happy with the results. When I asked, when I would be able to travel overseas, I was given a very disapproving look and was told in no uncertain terms, late 2025 at the earliest, then the bad news came….

My new brace has to stay on for 12 weeks, I will have to use crutches well into the New Year as I have lost so much muscle, and if I fall again and do any damage its going to be far, far worse.

I thank you for your prayers, I know the hospital has given me a timetable but God has His Own Time Table and He knows best, so I know I am in good hands. I also thank God for the surgeon and nurses and their dedication and care. I also thank God for Gerhard and Manuela who took me into their home for two weeks before being flown back to the UK and also for my family, Jon, David and Nicola.

Giving thanks to Him for your prayers, as you pray for me I too am praying for you. God Bless – Brother Tony

Accident Update

Many of you may have read on face book that I was involved in a accident at Vienna Airport on the 11th of July, for those of you who didn’t see it, here are the facts. On 11th July I travelled to Vienna for two weeks of meetings, outreach and one to ones, however, a number of us fell on a slippery surface at the train station and I ended up in hospital with a broken tendon in my right knee. They operated the same evening and I am now in a cast and have to keep my right leg straight at all times. My friends, Gerhard and Manuela (photo) took care of me for 13 days until I was airlifted to Belfast.

This means that all overseas travel has been cancelled until 2026 but will still undertake Zoom meetings. I am currently staying with my daughter and family in Belfast, Northern Ireland and hope to issue an update in two weeks time. THE WORK WILL STILL GO ON. Next week my web guy will give a report on his recent trip to the Philippines.

Thank you for your prayers for me, in the past, now and the future. God Bless, Tony

The POWER OF PRAYER

Stacks Image 6385
Dear love ones, I must share this. The first Wednesday in the month is normally our Missionary Prayer evening but it was different last evening. Plans had been made for churches here in Bristol to meet together and pray for peace in this area. We met in the park (around seventy people) where three stabbings including one fatal happened recently. Praying to God for peace to reign, for the victims families and for the churches to come alive and show care and concern. It also included communion which was very moving. The POWER OF PRAYER, in Croydon, South London last year there were so many knife stabbings, the churches came together as we did and after a night of prayer there were no more stabbings in that area for the rest of the year. God answers PRAYER. God Bless – Tony. (P.S The next report will be early August when my web guy returns from the Philippines.)
