"Come Across and Help Us". This is the soft cry of the Coptic Orthodox presence and the millions of lost souls, in Africa.

Charged with the saving grace of God, the youth group of the Virgin Mary & St. Athanasius COC, Mississuaga, Canada- will embark on a mission trip, fulfilling the words of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Changing Lives! Our own, first and foremost and yet, our prayer and firm acknowledgement is that God would change and inspire others to accept Him into their hearts.

*Please don't hesitate to open discussions/prayer requests related to the topic of mission. This group will work tirelessly in updating you on meetings, deadlines, spiritual exercises, fundraising events etc...

Spiritual spoonfuls:

“There are many nations, and millions of souls across the universe, who live in spiritual famine: in the darkness of ignorance and paganism. If we embrace the evangelistic thought, we shall be able to reach the whole world and to look at all these people with eyes of love, concern and responsibility. We will be able to offer them all that was handed to us by our Lord Jesus Christ and his apostles, and share with them one communion”
