MESSAGES OF SUPPORT TO

OUR NEW MISSIONS IN GUATEMALA AND COLUMBIA

Dear Fathers, Brothers, & Sisters in Christ,

Greetings in this season of Holy and Great Lent! This time of the year calls to mind our expulsion from paradise and return to repentance. Through a period of repentance we meet the risen Lord on Holy and Great Pascha.

Our Lord, after he accomplished the work of salvation, commanded us to spread this saving message. He commanded us to be partners with the Holy Spirit in spreading the Good News of His Gospel (Matthew 28:19-20). This Holy command, either directly or indirectly, is a privilege for every Christian to embrace.

This year, by invitation of the Archbishop of Kenya, Makarios, we are planning another mission with the goal of constructing more icons for the churches and conducting agricultural training. The aim of this mission trip is to address spiritual and physical needs of our Kenyan Orthodox brothers and sisters in Christ.

We were deeply moved that Archbishop Markarios would contact us and are very grateful for the opportunity to serve. We very much look forward to committing our time and talents to helping the Kenyan church. However, we do not have the means to do this alone. This monumental task will require us to raise $100,000 in order to commission printed icons, building supplies, tools, shipping, and other construction costs. This is why we are asking for your material support in donations and prayers. Please prayerfully consider partnering with us to make the goals of this trip a reality. A family can donate an entire set of icons in one church for $773.
