Dear Readers and Supporters: Last March I told you about an anonymous long time friend and supporter of this ministry who fell on hard times, and a generous portion of you volunteered to help her financially to prevent her eviction and car repossession. Unfortunately, once again she and her child are in a similar difficult position, though a little bit worse. I hate to see this happen to her and not try to help in any way. So if once again you can help out with a financial contribution, it would be greatly appreciated. You can contribute to her through the link below. My hope is that we can raise around $3000. Thank you.
Day 7: Total So Far: $838

Rector of two Moscow churches Hegumen Sergei (Rybko) presented the Icon of Our Lady of Vladimir to the Deep Purple frontman Ian Gillan.

The renowned missionary and the legendary musician met at the Rock on the Volga festival, which took place on Russia Day and attracted about 200 thousand spectators, coordinator of the Orthodox Fraternities Unity Yury Ageyeschev told an Interfax-Religion correspondent on Tuesday as he also participated in the meeting.

According to him, Fr. Sergei turned to the multi-thousand audience with a sermon and urged them to keep their Orthodox faith.

Earlier, the priest more than once confessed that he had come to Christ thanks to rock music.
