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 by September 22nd. Thank you.
Day 8: Total So Far: $958

News from the Orthodox Diocese of Burundi and Rwanda:

Today on 17th August 2014, His Grace Bishop Innocentios Byakatonda has baptized 200 people in the Nyamazi River located in the Kirehe District of the Eastern Province of Rwanda. After the baptism His Grace Bishop Innocentios conducted the Divine Liturgy in that valley where over 800 people were present.

After all ceremonies had been concluded, there was a friendly football (soccer) match between the Rurenge team and the Kaziba youth Orthodox team at Rurenge Stadium.

In this community of Kaziba, more people wish to be baptized (more than 2000 people, according to Bishop Innocentios) but there are also more needs: to catechize them, to build a church and a priest. On 09/14/2014, Deacon Maximos will be ordained as their priest.
