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 5: Total So Far: $730

550 Students Baptized at Saint Mark's In Belgrade


Outside the Cathedral of Saint Mark in Belgrade yesterday, April 17th (Palm Sunday), 550 primary and secondary students were baptized into the Orthodox Christian Church. This marks probably the largest mass baptism in the city of Belgrade.

The baptism is organized by the Commission for Religion of the Archdiocese of Belgrade and Karlovikiou, headed by Bishop Athanasios of Chvosnou, President of the Commission. The service was conducted by Bishop Athanasios along with clergy of the Patriarchate of Serbia.

The Bishop spoke to the students outside the Cathedral where this years marathon is set to begin, saying: "You action is the beginning of a spiritual marathon - a marathon of life in Christ."
