A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU to Reader Alexander Popichak, who revised and modified this web page to be both beautiful and Much More Functional than my rudimentary one. Thanks Alex, and God Bless you for your work for His Church! Please continue to pray for the guests and staff of the Eastern Orthodox Foundation! Please remember in your prayers His Eminence, Metropolitan Paul and His Eminence Mar Gregorios, who were kidnapped in April. Media coverage continues to be minimal to non-existant! “Metropolitan Paul Yazigi of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Aleppo (brother of His Beatitude Patriarch John X of the Great City-of-God Antioch and all the East), and Mar Gregorios Yohanna Ibrahim of the Syriac Orthodox Archdiocese of Aleppo, were both abducted this morning, Monday, April 22nd, while they were traveling together on the road between Antioch (Antakya, Turkey) and the north Syrian city of Aleppo. The driver of the vehicle in which they were traveling was killed in the attack. Your prayers are requested.” Icon of the 21 New Coptic Martyrs of Libya A very special THANK YOU to Darlene D. for her very kind donation to our church. May God reward her a thousand-fold for her generosity. God Bless you!
