“The Voice of Orthodoxy”
January 2016 – Orthodox Mission Fraternity – Congo
The Voice of Orthodoxy is broadcast every morning reaching houses, huts, villages and the surrounding cities of the natives. It is the daily catechesis conducted here in the heart of Africa, in the Orthodox diocese of Central Africa by “Saint Athanasios the Athonite” Orthodox University. Here, in Kinshasa, the capital of Congo (DRC).
The Voice of Orthodoxy is the hymns, the lives of the saints, the catechesis, the interpretation of the daily gospel readings, it is the homilies of the Holy Fathers of the Church, it is the message of Orthodoxy.
For four hours in the morning and four in the evening the “Voice of Orthodoxy” travels through radio waves and reaches, not only ten, twenty or a hundred people, but everybody tuning their radio to 94.1 MHz.
Where the priest cannot go, where the catechist cannot enter, in houses of people of any religion, enters the Voice of Orthodoxy and there miracles can happen.
Our phone often rings.
—I can hear you through the radio, I have learnt about you through it. What should I do to become an Orthodox Christian?
—We are 200 kilometers away from Kinshasa. We have not got any church here, neither a priest, nor a catechist. We listen to the Orthodox radio station every day. We get to know how we can be saved, we chant along what we hear. What beautiful hymns!
—I visited my friend in Kinshasa. He was listening to your broadcast, the “Voice of Orthodoxy”. “My soul found refuge”, he said, “I learnt things I didn’t know, I realized what the truth is; something spoke inside me. I got jealous of him. During my stay there, we would listen to the broadcast together. Soon I will be leaving for my village, which is 600 km away from here. How can we receive your signal there? Make such a radio station for us, too.
—I am an Orthodox Christian. A priest comes here regularly and conducts the liturgy for us. Every morning and evening the catechist gathers the faithful at our grass hut-church to chant.I am in bed, I cannot go to church, but I listen to our Church’s radio station and rejoice, forget my loneliness and my disability and praise God.
—I became an Orthodox Christian by listening to your station, and I now say to my friends: listen to the “Voice of Orthodoxy” and your life will change.
The catechesis going everywhere, the Church entering every Orthodox or non-Orthodox home, the “Voice of Orthodoxy”.
But alas! This voice of Orthodoxy is running the risk of not sending its message anymore, of being silenced. Not because it has no other words of God to send to the people, nor because it hasn’t got vibrant and self-sacrificing people to operate the station. But because it has not got the money to buy oil and feed the electro generator, so that the radio station machinery can work.
The financial crisis in Europe has also brought financial difficulties to the Mission. We understand. Who can help us from Europe, when they can hardly make a living?
All of us here reach out our hands and wait for contributions from benevolent people in order to cope with the missionary expenses, continue operating our schools, help those who have nothing to eat, take them to the doctor, pay for their medications, make it possible for them to study and get married.
We are doing our best to scrimp and save every little bit we can, counting every single penny, every single franc. But it hurts! Should we allow the “Voice of Orthodoxy” to get silenced, our diocesan radio station to shut down, just because we have no money to buy oil for the generator?
We appeal to God every day for donors and sponsors to be sent forth, so that the “Voice of Orthodoxy” will keep entering into the homes of the natives and permeating their hearts.

This post is genuinely a nice one it assists new internet people, who are wishing in favor of
blogging.
I’ve been surfing online more than 2 hours today,
yet I never found any interesting article
like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me.
In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good
content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.
Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it
or something. I think that you could do with a few pics to
drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is excellent blog.
A great read. I will definitely be back.
Its such as you learn my mind! You appear to know a
lot about this, such as you wrote the ebook in it or something.
I feel that you simply can do with a few percent to force
the message house a bit, however instead of that, this is fantastic blog.
An excellent read. I will definitely be back.
Hello, i think that i saw you visited my website thus i came
to “return the favor”.I’m attempting to find things to
enhance my site!I suppose its ok to use a few of your ideas!!
There is definately a lot to know about this subject.
I really like all of the points you made.
Nun gar, wenn man sehe, dass der Topf prall
mit Wurzeln gefüllt sei. Daher müssten die Weihnachtsbäume regelmäßig in größere Kübel umgetopft werden – so lange das bei
ihrem Wachstum geht. Eine Alternative zum Kauf ist das Mieten von Weihnachtsbäumen im Topf.
Auch darum ist ihre Verwendung als Weihnachtsbaum endlich.
Es handelt sich dabei meist um lokale Angebote ohne lange Transportwege.
Wer online kein regionales Angebot findet,
kann in nahe gelegenen Gärtnereien nachfragen. Zu finden sind sie
oft in größeren Städten. Und dass man so die Spitze des Baumes für den Schmuck nicht kappt
und keine echten Kerzen oder Kunstschnee anbringt. Bei
Niels Reinke ist außerdem Lametta tabu, da die Bäume beim Entfernen dieser Deko oft Zu Schaden kommen. „Wenn wir etwa sehen,
dass grobfahrlässig nicht gegossen wurde, dann muss der Mietkunde den kompletten Verkaufspreis des Baumes bezahlen”, sagt Reinke.
Wichtig zu wissen: Die Nachhaltigkeit kostet. Die Mietbäume können teurer
als ein abgesägter Baum sein. Zu den Angebotsbedingungen gehört, dass der
Baum gut gegossen wird. Denn ihre Produktion im Topf und ihre Pflege sind aufwendiger als die eines
Baumes, der abgesägt in den Handel kommt. Ein grober deutschlandweiter Überblick zeigt: Eine Blaufichte
von rund 1,50 Meter Höhe kostet 60 bis 80 Euro Miete, eine Nordmanntanne 30
bis 85 Euro.
You should be a part of a contest for one of the greatest sites on the internet.
I will highly recommend this website!
Holz als Material für Fensterrahmen sind ein beliebter Klassiker.
Leider müssen Sie bei der Wahl von Holzfenstern etwas
höhere Kosten als bei Kunststoff erdulden und berücksichtigen, dass Holzrahmen regelmäßig neu überflüssig werden müssen,
um wetterfest zu bleiben. Sie überzeugen durch eine angenehm natürlich Optik und allgemeine Robustheit.
Aluminiums größte Stärke ist seine strukturelle Stabilität.
Diesen Vorteil kann ein Aluminiumrahmen aber Hand in Hand gehen normalen Wohnhaus
nicht ausspielen und dieser Fakt ist eher bei industriellen Gebäuden oder Hochhäusern von Belang.
Mit einem Aluminiumrahmen lassen sich Fenster bauen, die größer sind und stärker
beansprucht werden können als mit jedem anderen Material.
Fürs durchschnittliche Wohngebäude dürfte eher entscheidend sein, dass Aluminiumrahmen deutlich mehr kosten als die Alternativen. Genutzt werden sie in diesem Bereich also vor allem aus ästhetischen Gründen, wenn das Geld
eine untergeordnete Rolle spielt. In diesem VOR-ORT-Video sind
wir bei einem unserer Projekte in Hagen (bei
Dortmund) dabei. Gemeinsam mit unserem Handwerkspartner LFB werden hier in einem 12-stöckigen Hochhaus alle Fenster erneuert.
Dabei werden 420 Fensterelemente modernisiert.
That is a very good tip particularly to those fresh to the blogosphere.
Brief but very accurate information… Appreciate your sharing this one.
