On Friday afternoon, my study-room mate and good friend Kosta Milkov (second from right in the photo - I am on the far left) was knocked off his bicycle by a car on the Banbury Rd in Oxford.He landed it seems on his face and sustained multiple fractures to the bones on his face and a broken wrist. He had a six-hour operation on Sunday to re-set his facial bones.
Kosta is an evangelical Christian from Macedonia. He and his wife Nada and their daughter Gabriella are here in Oxford while Kosta works on his DPhil on Maximus the Confessor. They hope to return to minister in the Balkans in the long term, perhaps amongst students in Macedonia.
Thanks to God that his injuries were not more serious in terms of a) his life and b) his brain; and prayers for a swift recovery so he can continue with his important work.
