Russian Faith: Christian Renaissance

I received this information in an email and decided it is worth passing along. MW

As the senior editor of of the Russian Faith news website, I have joined forces with a great team of dedicated people, working hard to bring you breaking stories, conservative Christian teaching, English subtitles for Christian videos, and Christian missionary adventures from across the globe… Rostov the Great — hometown for Russian Faith There are lots of websites out there, so it’s a fair question: “What makes Russian Faith unique?” What do we have to offer, that not everyone else does? What are the special things that you can only find here? To make sure you don’t miss out on the great resources that can only be found on Russian Faith, you can savor the following samples . . . Breaking News — Stories you hear first from us, such as: Christians Sing in Ukraine After Police Lock Them Out of Church Russian Orthodox Church Officially Opposes Compulsory Vaccinations of Children NY Churches Forced to Pledge Special Protection for Transgenders and Homosexuals Christians Moving to Russia May Receive Help From Russian Church, Says Patriarch Kirill English Subtitles for Christian Films — Russian Faith works hard creating new subtitles, so you don’t miss out on great films like these: Cyril & Methodius – Apostles to the Slavs Fr. Seraphim Rose – A Legendary American Who Inspired Russians Animated History of the Middle Ages – Russian Primary Chronicle Honest Social Commentary — Where else can you find articles that are more powerful, hard-hitting, and relevant? Homosexuals Persecuting Christians in America Practical Ways to Avoid Lust – Answers from a Priest in Russia High Quality Videos — At Russian Faith, we help bring you great videos like these: American Father – Big Family Moves to Rural Russia When America Was Russian – The Slavic Roots of the American Northwest We Bring Traditional Christian Values to the World, in SIX LANGUAGES — Russian Faith (ENGLISH) Fe Rusa (SPANISH) Foi Russe (FRENCH) Besimi Rus (ALBANIAN) Русская Вера (RUSSIAN) Russischer Glaube (GERMAN) Fе́ Russa (BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE) It is not easy to find a website with this specific focus, operating on this type of scale. Honestly, who else is doing this sort of work? — If you want to see this kind of material, and reach this many people around the world, where else can you go? Thanks to your support, I am able to personally interact with people in Russia and around the world, helping pave the way for devout Christian families who are seeking a new life in Russia. For example: At a nationally televised conference, I asked Patriarch Kirill — the leader of the Russian Orthodox Church — to provide assistance for Christians Moving to Russia. His response was hopeful and encouraging. I helped a young couple from Brazil become Orthodox Christians and begin a new life in Russia. On both regional and national television stations, my family and I have given numerous TV news interviews, where I talk about the importance of the Christian Faith, and the reasons why modern Russia has become a haven for conservative Christian values. This autumn, we want to keep Russian Faith running strong, continuing to bring you great articles, videos, and movies. And of course our faithful workers need to feed their wives and children. That’s why we all need to pull together and support this noble cause. Please DONATE NOW, and help us as we work to make Russian Faith better than ever! Russian Faith is not owned by some big media company, and is not supported by some rich patron. So your donations won’t disappear into the black hole of some ominous corporate ledger. Instead, your donations will help us keep great people on staff like Geraldo Silva, who has done amazing work building up the Portuguese and Spanish pages for Russian Faith. Your faithful donations will also help support my wife and eight children, as we build our new lives in Russia, and help other families to do the same. The Gleason Family Geraldo and Karen Even before I wrote this letter, I noticed that generous people have already donated $1628 over the past couple weeks, getting us up to 23% of our goal. This is very encouraging, to see so many people giving without even being asked! And now, I am reaching out, humbly asking for your continued support. I look forward to seeing our goal hit 100%, so that we can keep operations running at full strength for the rest of the year. By donating to this noble cause, you are helping with this amazing work, and you become a part of this incredible story. I have said it before, and I will say it again: We can’t do it without you. Your faithful donations are what keep us going. There are only three weeks left in this fundraiser, so please, DONATE NOW. And in advance, I want to say “Thank you”, from the bottom of my heart! Your donation makes a difference, and it is appreciated. in Christ, Fr. Joseph Gleason Senior Editor
