Working for hope
We were about to discontinue this program due to lack of funds and our whole existence was suffering thinking all these blind, disabled and elderly people who for years survive only thanks to this little food that our Mission gives them every day. It grieved me but I had no way out. The solution was finally given by the all-merciful Lord…
Necessary prints of Orthodox books
For years we have been preparing to write Orthodox books. These books are usually requested by people who want to learn more about Orthodoxy. So far we have very few books printed in Indonesian. We need to print some new books that we have written.
