Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We need your advance support, very crucial at this moment! Very important and significant for the parish of Saint Barbara, and for you! We need it now. Today. At this minute!

Please help the church! This call is directed to all those, who can help the church of Saint Barbara, at this responsible moment…

If your children are still small and you put aside some funds for their education, please, take from there some small part and give to church! Deposit some of your children’s educational funds into spiritual orthodox education of your kids! Into Russian Orthodox Church in Orange County.

Into it’s Sunday school, into it’s music classes, drawing classes, chess classes, dance classes, kindergarten, day care, etc. Our goal is easily accomplished if all of you will make a small (or as large as possible) donation and then share our URGENT plea with all of your friends and people that you know or work with.

We are a non profit organization.  So if you require a receipt for tax purposes representative of your kind donation, then please contact us and we will be happy to email or mail to every donor a tax receipt!  We will gladly report every dollar donated and provide an accounting report as proof to any interested party in how all donations have been spent!

We are Saint Barbara Christian Russian Orthodox Church located in Irvine, California, USA.

Everyone’s help is URGENTLY NEEDED!  Please read this and send this link to EVERYONE in your mailing list,  using your email address book and on Facebook or any other social media network!

It does NOT matter what nationality, religion or faith that you are!  Please know that your donation whatever the amount will definitely make a difference!  Without your donation it will not be possible for us to reach our URGENT GOAL!  We are all brothers and sisters in THE EYES OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!  Let’s spread the love and make a difference!  We need to support each other and be loving to one another!

This is VERY important so please do not ignore our URGENT PLEA AND REQUEST!  Your kind attention and donations will be life changing for our parish and will provide a building and home for another Christian Church in this world!

Literally every dollar will make a difference!

God is LOVE and God’s Word is very important to this world!  God sees everything and he will bless you a thousand fold in return for every dollar that you donate! We will PRAY for everyone and mention your names in our liturgies!

At this moment our church is located inside another church building where we have a room, where we pray glorifying God and hold services every week, this is where our parish currently is located.  We have been here now for over 3 years and we are no longer available to remain here any longer as the situation has become impossible.

It is very problematic and expensive to find a place to lease in Orange County.  It is easier to purchase a property instead.  We have found an affordable office building that we can make and convert into our church. We only need to remodel the building the way we need it.  We then will serve GOD there bringing light, love and happiness into all peoples lives.

Our church also has a Bible school with many classes for children and adults including Bible study, languages, music, theatrical plays, etc…  We also put on many festivals, picnics etc…  Everyone who serve in our church does so voluntarily and also donate their own money too.  But at this moment, everything that everyone is doing is just not enough to purchase our building.

The building that we found cost $428,835. It is located in Lake Forest, California.  It is the most affordable office building on the market at this moment.  To date we have raised $130,000 thus far.  We will need a total of $300,000 USD to purchase this building debt free.  We need to purchase the building debt free because it is not easy to secure a loan for the church.

This may sound like a lot of money to raise in a short period of time.  But in reality we only need 30,000 people to donate $10.00 USD each IN ORDER TO REALIZE IN FULL OUR GOAL!  You can see for yourselves that this goal is easily achieved if all of our friends will donate the same amount or more and then forward and share this link with all of their friends!

We have to hurry because time is of the essence and this building is available to be purchased NOW!  We cannot wait or we will lose this opportunity.  We do not have the time to wait!
