Olga (Nick's dear wife) Markin has been in touch from Sochi following the recent car crash involving her husband.  Nick was travelling near Sukhum with Bishop Ivan when his car left the road and fell from a cliff.  The Bishop is still in hospital with a broken leg and Nicks’ scans showed many broken vertebrae.  Nick was offered either bed rest wearing a brace or surgery.  As he was unsure of the skills of the surgeons he requested advice and much prayer.  Those across the nations and our team of supporters took his plight to their hearts and have been magnificent in pulling in medical opinion from friends and colleagues.

Our latest news is that Nick is back home again and has decided not to go ahead with any surgery.  He values everyone’s prayers and practical support.  Please continue to pray for him, his wife Olga and Bishop Ivan.

Our thoughts are with you all at this time.
