Fr. Daniel Presentation:
The Great Mandate of Evangelism
Fr. Daniel —the Apostle to Indonesia, as Fr. Thomas Hopko has called him— will speak about fulfilling the Lord’s command to Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit
on Friday, June 22nd, 7:00 PM, at Fr. George Johnson’s home (13209 Bellevue Street, Silver Spring, MD 20904). This talk is a how-to presentation, aimed at Orthodox Christians who are interested in missionary work. Many people think of missionary work as a calling to go to a foreign country. However, the first missionaries, the Holy Apostles, went to their own people first (the Jews,) and then to others (the gentiles.)
Fr. Daniel will talk about how to go to the Mars Hill of our time to proclaim the good news of the Orthodox Faith.
For us, our own people are right here in America, wherever our church is located. Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the worl
d —even, for example, unto Beltsville, College Park, and Laurel, Maryland.
