This is the testimony of a young Greek man who was raised a nominal Orthodox Christian, contemplated monasticism and came to love the simplicity of the Saints. Having turned into a worldly man in pursuit of gain, his sister converted to Islam in search of simplicity. Inspired by her he also turned to Islam. He left Christianity because of ignorance of his Orthodox Christian Faith and of who God is. He rejected the doctrine of the Holy Trinity because he could not "understand" it, and was attracted to the unity of Allah. I offer this to inspire the need for the proper education of the Faith for our youth. Because they will seek the truth somewhere, if not in Orthodoxy then somewhere else.

Testimony of an Orthodox Christian Who Became a Muslim
For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.
Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.
This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.
If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.
Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.
Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
