Tragedy in Kumanovo - Update 1

Dear all,

Today was a very long day for all of us. After yesterday's accident, all of us are under great shock.
The funerals of the two workers were held today. The 33 year old Saso Petkovski was buried in Kumanovo, with many from the Evangelical Church attending and the Pastors leading the ceremony. It was sad, but also encouraging to see the what it means to have Christ as Saviour and Lord, as Saso had, and the power and hope that this faith gives.

Pastor Saso Georgievski and brother Sime Nikolovski were under police custody for 30 hours. In the late afternoon today, the judge decided that there were elements of for prosecution. Pastor Saso was let go until trial, while brother Sime will be held under arrest for 30 days until charges are brought up. It is now a criminal matter which will be brought against these two brothers.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Please continue to pray for us.
