Dear OYM Friends,

"I see my work as an extension of my baptism. As an Orthodox Christian, my faith is at the core of who I am, and my work reflects that—hopefully in a meaningful way."

The above quote is from this month's installment of our What's Your Ministry? article series profiling Warren Farha, owner and founder of the beloved Eighth Day Books in Wichita, Kansas. It is also an excellent encapsulation of what we hope to help Orthodox young people to find in their own lives — the ways in which they might use the unique gifts and talents given to them by Our Lord to lead lives of purpose and service to Him.

In your generosity, we ask that you please consider making a donation to support us in this work. Our efforts are made possible solely through the support of individuals like you. On behalf of all of us at OYM, I wish you a blessed remainder of the Great Fast and a truly joyous Pascha.

Yours in Christ,

Dr. Christopher Krampe

President of OYM
