Orthodox Christians and Missions?!?

People don't usually think of Orthodox Christians being active in world-wide missions. The truth is that the world's 700,000,000 or so Orthodox Christians have been under immense pressure for the last couple centuries due to Communism in Russia and E. Europe and of course Islam, that it's almost a miracle that Orthodoxy even exists anymore.

But the life of the church is Mission. I really believe that: the church that is not involved in preaching the Gospel to every creature is not living, but slowly dying.

Fortunately there are some signs of life for Orthodoxy. May God bless them lead them more and more into the unreached frontiers of the mission field:

Orthodox Christian Missions Center.

It's not much, but it's a beginning.
