Giving
Orthodox Christian stewardship is our responsibility. “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace”
Mark 12:38-44
And he sat down opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny. And he called his disciples to him and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.”
Financial support – Stewardship
Stewardship (Epistasia / Upravleniye / Rukovodstvo) enables the manifestation of the Ancient Orthodox Christian commitment of consistent, cheerful, and purposeful sharing of one’s time, talent and treasures for the Glory of God.
From supporting the needs of St Tabithas orphanage in Fiji, to supporting the local parishes to be able to be upon the work of God, to the maintenance of the existing buildings and the foundation of new churches. The Orthodox Apostolic Ministry gives you, the faithful, the opportunity to contribute to the work.
