A Special Year-End Message from Father Chris
Dear Friend of Orthodox Christian Network,
I wish you could have been there with me when I received the following message from a listener:
Dear Fr. Chris,
I started listening to your programs and coming to your Web site regularly a few months ago. OCN's clear presentation of the Truth is so powerful — and RELEVANT! I am a new convert precisely BECAUSE listening to your Internet radio stations stopped me in my tracks — and kept my attention. What a blessing they have been for me. A doorway to the Truth!
—
N.S., from Lansing, MI
What a powerful testimony! Think about it for a moment. The Orthodox Christian Church has SO MUCH to offer the contemporary world, but it needs a contemporary voice. A voice that is timely and RELEVANT. The beauty of our Faith WILL stop regular people in their tracks, but we have to proclaim that Faith in a way that everyone can understand.
That's why I was so grateful to receive this message from a young man whose life has been deeply touched by OCN's exciting new online outreach ministries. If you've been visiting our Web site over the last year, you're well aware of all of the ways in which our ministry has been growing.
In fact, there's simply TOO MUCH to describe in one letter. But one thing is clear: OCN is reaching MORE PEOPLE for Christ than ever before and YOU make this possible.
I really mean that. Whether you are a regular supporter or you haven't given to our ministry in some time, the end result is still the same: Your visionary support has allowed OCN to grow into what it is today -- a pan-Orthodox ministry that is touching people's lives EVERY DAY through our nationally syndicated radio program AND our other daily programs available on our new, high-traffic Web site.
At Year's End: You Can Make a Difference
And, now, as we pass rapidly through the Lenten season leading to Christmas, I hope that you'll prayerfully consider the following questions:
- Are you excited by OCN's mission to create a powerful, pan-Orthodox media witness for the glory of God and the strengthening of His Church?
If so, then let the light of your conviction shine during this Lenten season by sharing a special gift with OCN before the end of the year.
Together, we can build on the past year's success. Together, we can enter the new year with EVEN MORE potential for outreach and dynamic growth. There are still countless people of all ages who are searching for a timely presentation of our timeless Orthodox Faith. You can help OCN reach them by contributing to our ministry today.
Perhaps you find it surprising, but it's true: Your end-of-the year donation DOES make everything at OCN possible!
In fact, your tax-deductible gift at the end of this year of $50, $100, $200 or more will allow OCN to continue to reach MILLIONS of potential listeners through our existing network of Come Receive the Light radio affiliates.
While that kind of ministry potential is truly amazing, it's only ONE example of what your gift will help OCN accomplish. I encourage you to look around our Web site today, where you’ll be able to see first hand all of the different ways that your end-of-the-year gift will make a difference.
Be assured: When you join with me in this sacred cause, you’ll be helping to create something truly valuable. You’ll be standing with our SCOBA hierarchs and thousands of Orthodox Christians from around the country in a concerted effort to build a powerful media witness for our Church. And you’ll be touching lives for Christ! Thank you!
Yours for the spread of Orthodoxy,
Rev. Dr. Christopher T. Metropulos
Executive Director
Orthodox Christian Network
