It is with a sincere sense of grief that Moriel & Jacob Prasch learned that Antony Simon (from Manchester, a UK-born Jewish/Israeli evangelist) was killed in an automobile accident in Kurdistan, Northern Iraq while there on an evangelistic outreach.
Tony was led to Yeshua by Jacob Prasch in Israel on Christmas Day (around Hanukkah) in 1982 and emerged as a radical evangelist in The Middle East to both Jew and non-Jew alike. His zeal to see lost souls come to salvation in Jesus was without exaggeration nothing short of phenomenal.
We ask for prayers for his Scottish born wife Donna and for their children. Antony is with Yeshua. We will see him again in glory and in the Millennial reign of Christ. In the meanwhile however, The Body of Christ has insurmountably lost an evangelist whose enthusiastic drive to see souls saved is without exaggeration nearly unparalleled. We do not state this hyperbolically. He was indeed unique.
