Aleksandar ‘Sasha’ Veljic

I received the following in an email Thursday afternoon March 21st:

We just received a notification from Steven Sookal that Sasha died yesterday.

Thank you all for the prayers you prayed for him.

Aleksandar ‘Sasha’ Veljic reportedly had two strokes this year and then went in and out of a comma. He seemingly was the first person from an eastern block communist country (when it was then called to Yugoslavia) to attend Ambassador College in the 1990s.

He was mentioned in the March 1, 1994 edition of old Worldwide News for being part of an Ambassador Foundation project in Ukraine. That is when I first became aware of him.

Sasha was also mentioned in the old Journal: News of the Churches of God.

He and I kept the Feast of Tabernacles together in Serbia back in 2018.

After leaving WCG, Sasha was once part of UCG, then COG aic, then independent, then CCOG, and then left to become the leader of ‘Hope of Israel.’

Sasha never married, but often lived with his mother until she died a few years ago.
