Tragedy in Kumanovo

Dear brothers and sisters,

There is a great prayer need we want to share with you.

Yesterday in the morning there was a tragedy in the church building site in Kumanovo. There was a land slide while some underground pipes were being laid, and two of the workers were buried over 3 meters under the land. Both of them died. It took more than 3 hours to find the bodies. Their names were Dragisa Angelovski (61) and Saso Petkovski (33). Saso Petkovski was a brother from one of the churches, and has was married and had two very young children.

Because of this, Pastor Saso Georgievski, the pastor of the church in Kumanovo, and Sime Nikolovski, the engineer in charge, who is a brother from one of the baptist churches are still under police custody. They have been under custody for over 20 hours now and are probably going to be charged for the death of the two workers.

The media, TVs and newspapers have been writing about this issue and usually they are not on our side.

The leadership of the Evangelical Church has been involved this whole time, engaged a lawyer and raising finances for the support.

Please pray with us:

For the families of the two workers

For Pastor Saso and brother Sime

For the families of Pastor Saso and brother Sime

For the leadership of the Evangelical Church as decisions are made

God bless you,

Mirco
