Ours is Not to Judge
by Katrina Bandeli
First impressions
are the most important; we only get one chance to show the
world who we are. For many this first impression is lost,
and second impressions are rarely given a chance, because of
being in the wrong place at the wrong time and ending up in
unpleasant situations, such as homelessness. When many of us
come across those who are homeless, we assume that...

You Just Ruined My
Breakfast
by Jordan Henderson
You just
ruined my breakfast.
This is not the most pleasant thing to hear when one sits
down to eat. Yet as I sat down in the McDonald’s to eat my

Shakespeare
by Nancy “Eve” Sapp
Before the Nashville OYO trip, I don’t remember the last
time I shivered so much. As a resident of Florida, anything
under sixty degrees is considered extremely cold. So,

I Left My Heart in
South Central
by Elaina Matook

discovered. For nearly half an hour we searched the
streets of Los Angeles trying to find someone to eat

corner with... READ

SOYO Orthodox Youth Outreach
by Fr. Kevin Scherer
Orthodox Youth Outreach (OYO) was designed to be a resource
to the local Church in fulfilling the commission of Christ
as outlined in Matthew 28:19: “Go therefore and make

Western
Region Teens in Action
by Katrina Bitar
Someone once said that if your faith is struggling… if you
are feeling weak and wavering… go feed the hungry. You are
sure to find God there. Whoever said that left one thing
out, and that is that no matter how strong your faith is,
and no matter how clearly you are able to see God in your
life... READ MORE |
