From David Jones’ email message:

Unfortunately Carmello Anastasi, was unable to conduct Passover & Unleavened Bread services in Milan this year, because of an illness affecting his balance. To move around he’s needed the aid of a wheelchair and doctors are still trying to identify the cause. As such, at very late notice the Deacon in the Milan congregation had to take both the Passover and 1st Day of UB services, and will presumably be helping significantly tomorrow, since although Carmello will attend, he won’t be well enough to speak. Of significant concern is that as things stand Carmello doesn’t believe he’ll be able to make the soon coming GCE meetings (including those for the GN) in the USA.

As you know the Italian work is even smaller than the UK, so restrictions on the ability to serve of both Carmello and Giacomo, two of their main speakers; CEO and Treasurer respectively, is a significant concern for our brethren there. They’d appreciate our prayers.

Carmello’s email address is: carmelo.anastasi@tin.it.
