A unique missionary trip will soon be underway in Siberia. 30 Orthodox priests will set sail on a boat-church, visiting remote areas of Siberia in need of spiritual and material support, reports tayga.info.

The boat, housing a small church on board dedicated to the holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called, will set sail from Novosibirsk and visit a total of 47 lightly populated areas during the trip.

The missionary endeavor is being jointly held with the Novosibirsk Metropolitanate of the Russian Orthodox Church. The first such trip set sail in 1996.

“The main goal of our trip is to provide spiritual and material support to people in remote areas of the Novosibirsk region… All who wish may receive Baptism, take part in the Holy Sacraments of Communion and Confession, individually speak with a priest, invite a priest home, receive holy water and obtain spiritual literature,” reports the Novosibirsk press service.

Medical staff will also be on board in order to assist any local residents that may require medical support.

Several times a week a group meets at a church in central Moscow to study various foreign languages, and especially English. The gatherings are all part of the St. Felix Orthodox language courses. The group, founded two years ago and directed by Alexei Makarov, seeks to provide a valuable service to all who are interested, within an Orthodox context, in a spirit of Christian charity. From its humble beginnings the group has blossomed to offer courses in three languages at various levels of competency, as well as a Patristic-based Bible study for those of a high level of English, conducted by Philip Champion.
