We would like to share joyful news with our Orthodox public and all good-willed people who feel
love for the Holy Orthodox Faith. The Orthodox Missionary Center “Fr. Daniel Sysoyev” became
involved in publishing the Orthodox literature as means of help and support and a token of love
for our brethren dispersed around the world – Orthodox communities in Mongolia, Indonesia
and Pakistan.

A group of Orthodox Christians, who are zealous in their faith, gave offerings according to their
capabilities so that the precious words of St. Nikolai of Ochrid and Zicha could be translated into
languages spoken in these countries.

His capital work “The Faith of Educated People” (The Interpretation of the Symbol of Faith)
has been translated for our brethren in Indonesia and Pakistan. According to the words of self-sacrificing
Fr. John Tanveer, the only missionary and apostle in Pakistan, this book will contribute a lot to the
preaching of the Orthodox faith.

“The Faith of Educated People” (The Interpretation of the Symbol of Faith) – the Book for
Indonesia

“The Faith of Educated People” (The Interpretation of the Symbol of Faith) – the Book for
Pakistan

“The Faith of the Saints (The Catechism of the Eastern Orthodox Church)” – A Book for
Mongolia

“The Faith of the Saints” (The Catechism of the Eastern Orthodox Church) and
“The Interpretation of Lord’s Prayer” have been translated and published for the
missionary community of untiring Fr. Alexey Trubach from the city of Ulan Bator, the only
preacher of the Holy faith in vast Mongolia.

This missionary venture is the deed of our Lord and all of us who somehow helped publishing
the books. Although Christians, who gave offerings, are dispersed all over the continents, they
were united in one goal and one cause – in love for Christ, in wish to get closer to God with this
deed. May these words relate to them: “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy”
(Matthew 5:7). This may be the true form and example of the Orthodox unity and universality,
where physical distance, age and social differences completely disappear…

Our missionary editions are published with the blessing of Bishop David of Stobi and
Administrator of Strumitsa from the Orthodox Archdiocese of Ochrid (SOC). You can read the
inspired words written by our Bishop in the supplement. These words were written especially for
the editions translated into the languages of our brethren in Mongolia, Pakistan …

We hereby invite all our brethren and sistren who wish to join this project of publishing
missionary literature, this spiritual food for our brethren who are in worse hardship than we are.
Christ promised: “And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because
he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.” (Matthew 10:42).
This kind of help and support to our brethren in Christ is just that cup of cold water, “bubbling
spring within them, giving them eternal life“ (John 4:14) that Christ spoke about. Let us
remember them so that Christ would remember us, let us help them so that Lord would help us.

“Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running
over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
(Luke 6:38) And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least
of these my brothers, you did it to me.’(Matthew 25:40)

There are more projects in preparation. If you wish to join and take part according to your
capabilities, contact us at [email protected].

“So the disciples determined, everyone according to his ability, to send relief to the brothers
living in Judea. (Acts 11:29)

Thus, those who want to express love and gratitude to Christ the Savior for His love and mercy
towards us, let them serve His great deed of invocating the heathen to salvation through
missionary outreach… An Orthodox deed is a deed of every believer. Every son of the Church
should not only keep the purity of the Orthodox teachings, but he should also care to spread the
Orthodox faith among the heathen and heterodox. Therefore all believers have an obligation to
help with means they have.“ ( St. Macarius Nevsky, The Sermons, p. 217, 209)
