We have been really touched by the warm-hearted messages we have received in the past week since we shared the news that Gary Cox, the former Director of Eurovangelism (now TEN), passed away this month. Your thoughts, memories and reflections that you have sent mean a lot to us, but especially to Gary's family. Thank you.
You can read about Gary's work in an article written by Paul Eddy, who knew Gary well and served alongside him - click the link to the article below.

Gary understood that Christian mission is not about importing an imported Western model on another country. It's about strengthening local believers so that they can become effective witnesses in their own communities.

James Vaughton was interviewed by James Morris of United Christian Broadcasters and shared some of his thoughts of Gary's way of working alongside Christians in Europe, and what his legacy means for us today.

Vera and Danny connected with us after they met Gary Cox while they were living full-time in Canada and Gary was visiting. From this one meeting, many ministries began in Serbia, including Novi Sad Christian Fellowship and Rainbow Rehabilitation Centre.
Vera will share about knowing Gary and the partnership that began, and her current ministry with Danny. Vera will also speak about the current situation in Serbia and how you can pray for the country, as well as the ministry to equip and encourage other Christian leaders. We would be delighted to see you there.

Christmas Cards with thanks from Ohrid

|
As we approach Christmas, we encourage you to take a look at our Christmas cards which are available to purchase now.

Our pack of eight cards feature four designs by people who are part of the art group at Ohrid Evangelical Church in North Macedonia. The group was established by Anita Dimitrievska, who leads the church, and wanted to start a group where people could feel comfortable coming to church to paint and chat.

|
Each beautifully illustrated card features a link and QR code on the back so that recipients can watch a video recorded by Anita, sharing Christmas blessing from the church in Ohrid. Each pack is £5.99 (excluding P&P). Please be aware that we cannot dispatch cards to addresses outside the UK.

Mission Accomplished in Sofia
|
|
|
Our team did it! We are delighted to share that our team of ten runners - eight from the UK and two from Romania - took on the Sofia Marathon and Half Marathon and exceeded their target to raise £15,000 for the work of Emanuel Hospice in Romania and the work of TEN. Thank you to everybody who gave to support our team, support the work of the hospice and TEN and encouraged us with every step.

Here is an extract from our latest news article on our website:
The team’s efforts were inspired by the work of Emanuel Hospice. For more than three decades, the hospice has faithfully served God by providing free palliative care to patients and families facing advanced cancer. More than half the money raised will support its plans for a new integrated Palliative Care Centre for adults and children—the first of its kind in western Romania.
