The Orthodox Christian Network has launched a new podcast on social ministry and outreach:

The Orthodox Christian Network is excited to announce another addition to its already dynamic and ever evolving list of Radio on Demand Programming (Podcast), The FOCUS North America Podcast.

The Focus North America Podcast will feature engaging commentary and timely updates on Orthodox Christian social action volunteers, agencies and ministries of the Orthodox Church reaching out to the poor and needy here at home.

Rev. Dr. Christopher Metropulos, the Executive Director of the OCN, an agency of SCOBA, said, “Serving the poor and needy in North America should be a priority for every Orthodox Christian. We are proud to partner with FOCUS North America and to support their dynamic and growing ministry on behalf of the whole Church.”

“We are excited to have this opportunity to partner with OCN and the great work they are doing in sharing the Orthodox faith. Every dollar given to FOCUS North America and every podcast listened to and shared with a friend helps to provide vital Food, Occupations, Clothing, Understanding and Shelter for the truly needy in North America,” said FOCUS’ Executive Director, Fr. Justin Mathews. Fr. Mathews continued, “The podcast will feature how FOCUS North America is uniting the faithful in serving our neighbors in need as the Lord commanded us to do in Matthew 25.”

The new podcast titled “FOCUS North America" will be available on OCN’s newly enhanced and upgraded web site www.myocn.net. Hosting the podcast each episode will be Fr. Justin Mathews, with co-host Jacob Lee, the host of the popular “Generation Orthodox” and “Journeys to Orthodoxy” podcasts, along with special guest Nick Kasemeotes and many others.

FOCUS North America is committed to serving those in need in North America by providing aid through its programs and partners, supporting existing Orthodox agencies, ministries and professionals, and supplying parishes with what they need in order to initiate new social action ministries in their own communities.

Support the OCN

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 21:25:48 -0500

In a letter stating the need for regular supporters of the Orthodox Christian Network, Fr. Christopher Metropulos mentions some of the new and upcoming activities at the OCN:

Summer is an amazing time of rebirth and rejuvenation for everyone, but especially for Orthodox Christians. During this season, we celebrate Christ's Ascension, the Feast days of many important Saints, as well as the Apostles’ and Dormition Fasts. What do all of these things have in common? All commemorate the Church's mission and efforts to continue spreading the saving Word of Christ after His departure from this world. At OCN, that's exactly the mission that we continue.

Each month, OCN is pleased to offer you new podcasts, blogs and special features that keep you up-to-date on the latest news and greatest minds in Orthodoxy. Our site is continually adding new programs such as: Beyond the Veil, our renowned podcast on the Apocalypse, my youth trip blogs, and useful resource pages where listeners can find the best learning material for any season of the year. OCN is committed to offering these programs and services in order to continue spreading the saving message of Christ to people all over the world.

And this summer, it’s getting even better at myocn.net! Stay tuned as our OCN team travels to Greece to cover more youth events, upgrades our online radio stations, and continues to offer exciting coverage of global Orthodox events. With all this and more, you'll see why OCN has become the one-stop source for Orthodox media coverage!

But reporting on the global pulse of the Orthodox Church takes time and funding. That's why I hope you'll consider becoming a monthly donor. No matter what donation you give, it would truly help ensure our ability to inspire the faithful, spread the faith, and connect you to the Church. Please visit us now at www.myocn.net or call 954-522-5567 to find out how to set up your monthly donation.
