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 6: Total So Far: $790

Saint Nektarios and the Protestant Who Became Orthodox


What follows is the testimony of a recent miracle of Saint Nektarios:

On June 20 [probably of 2009] we went with the Unborn Child Protection Society on a pilgrimage trip to Aegina. We venerated the grace-flowing relics of Saint Nektarios and went to his bedroom, his grave and his new majestic church, built by the late Metropolitan Hierotheos of Hydra.

A nun narrated for us many miracles of Saint Nektarios, such as cancer healings, severe injuries, even one who was clinically dead, as well as appearances of the Saint. The following is an amazing incident. She said:

"In 2007 a German Protestant came to our monastery. Some people told him to put his ear against the tomb of the Saint to hear the banging of his cane. He put his ear to the tomb and heard a voice in German say: 'You will become Orthodox and after two years you will come here and liturgize.' The German was shocked by this and when he returned to his homeland he was catechized, baptized Orthodox and became a Priest; and not too long ago he came and liturgized at our monastery."
