Traveling to Kenya to witness the Orthodox faith is not something that is easily accomplished. Not everyone can journey 9,500 miles to experience the vibrancy of the faith, the piety of the people, and be immersed in a new cultural atmosphere.
There is so much that can be learned from the Orthodox Christians in Kenya, and this is your chance to discover how the missions program has positively impacted the growth of our faith and motivated volunteers from the United States to support this much-needed effort.
Saint John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church in Beaverton, OR is offering a four-part free webinar “Orthodox Life in Kenya – The Impact of Missions”. During these livestream webinars, participants will be transported to the churches, villages and schools a world away, yet connected through our faith and love in Jesus Christ.
The webinar schedule is:
- Thursday, November 12 – “Effects of Dependency” with Dr. William Black
- Thursday, November 19 – “Response to Change” with Joel Pleban, Elayne Goldman, and Virginia Gathoni
- Thursday, December 3 – “Education and Liturgical Needs” with Theodoros and Eleni Karamatskos and Virginia Gathoni
- Thursday, December 10 – “A Personal Talk with His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Kenya” with Dr. William Black
The free webinars will begin at 5:00 p.m. PST/8:00 p.m. EST, and will be live-streamed on the St. John the Baptist YouTube page. There is no need to register – just click and be inspired! Please post your questions for the presenters and every effort will be made to have them answered during the livestream sessions. If you are unable to participate, you can also view the webinars which will be posted online following each session.
This is a unique opportunity and one that truly connects Orthodox Christians throughout the world. Mark your calendars and don’t miss it! For more information visit www.stjohngoc.org/orthodox-kenya, or email orthodoxkenya@gmail.com
