On 2nd December 2017, I received the news of the sudden passing away of Drazen Glavas, one of the members of the Central and Eastern European Association for Mission Studies. A quote he often cited was: “We were born as originals, but many die as copies.” He emphasized that God has created us all with a specific and unique goal. He did not call us to imitate someone else, but to become complete as He intended us to be.
Drazen leaves a large void not only in his family with three up-growing children, but also in our network. He leaves a big legacy for us all, to continue his vision and work, and to “copy” something from Drazen and his vision on connecting “Sunday” and “Monday”. This is of great importance not only for Croatia, but for the entire region.
