Great and true missionary is not the one who conveys faith with words, but the one who lives it.

Let us all rejoice in the pure joy of the parishioners of the newly established Saints Cosmas and Damian parish in Malawi…

In almost 10 parishes that have been formed, our orthodox brothers gather in thatched huts. It is there that they pray. It is there that their holy services are conducted. In the rainy season the roofs are often leaky, or the mud bricks collapse.
