So happy I came home to Orthodoxy after many years as a Baptist. My father, a Baptist preacher, was appalled that I converted to the “great Eastern heresy”. I told him I would always honour him as my father, but that he spoke to me with no understanding that Orthodoxy is the Truth, and that he in fact was in error. I was chrismated January 8th, 1956; one day after Christmas. My father passed away on May 11th, 1969; i had not spoken to him since 1952. He left instruction that I was unwelcome at his funeral, which I thus did not attend. I hope he is in Heaven, I truly hope he found the Truth of Christ as I did.

@skmcee I am an old man of ninety-three who has outlived his wife (whom I lost to meningitis in 1997) and all seven children (The first two stillborn, the third a miscarriage, the fourth in the Gulf War in a bombing, the fifth choking to death on a chicken bone, the sixth to suicide due to drug use, and the seventh on his 29th birthday from a kidney infection) and now live alone in an empty apartment, but my faith in God is absolute, even with all my tragedies and one of my children in Hell. I pray you are well yourself, and I thank you for your concern.

The African saints take their reverence ..I am Orthodox from Greece and in our churches we have many icons with black saints like great Antonios great Athanasios the Egyptian saint Minas saint Ekaterina ( very popular name in Greece) saint Onufrios saint Moses the Ethiopian and many many others..and that because the African brothers are Christians from the beginning . One of the twelve Apostles Simon the Canaanite has teach the Christianity in Africa . He proclaimed the Gospel of Christ in Mauritania and generally in Africa. Eventually he was martyred by death.

A few months ago, this video struck me so deep in my soul that I have started looking into orthodoxy and learning as much as I can about the original, ancient and undivided Church. I have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ and I feel that this is His church. Please pray for me that I can become a catecumen soon. I really need prayer! I learned the Jesus prayer and that has been helping me so much! This Orthodox faith is so mind blowing to me! I have been getting so many ANSWERS HERE! May all who read this be continually blessed in the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit! Amen.

Being a missionary is a great responsibility! The missionary must have great energy, fortitude and courage. Wherever the missionary goes, in whatever part of the world he is in, he must spread the Word. The local people must understand what the missionary is saying to them. The missionary must get the Word right to the people! Therefore, every missionary must know the language of the local people! To everyone who is going on a mission or preparing for one I would like to recommend a very good workshop by Yuriy Ivantsiv Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language. This excellent book will give you answers how to correctly learn a foreign language with a minimum of your time and effort. This book answers many of the questions that everyone faces when learning a language. Good luck with your important work!
