The summer has ended. The first part of this project has come to a close.

Thank you everyone for all your thoughts, comments, and stories. YOU cared enough to fill out the survey and voice opinions. YOU want to help the Church. YOU made this project possible. The project has come to fruition and now the Church will listen.

We're entering phase 2 of the project now. I'm going to work with professionals (who will know a lot more about the Church and data than some 18 year old kid) to interpret this data and figure out where we should go in the future. While I don't know what all come of this, I can promise that this project will not fade away into obscurity. Our church leaders will hear your voice.

It's been a crazy summer. Until the next time, everyone.

The survey asks "what is one question you have about Orthodoxy that no one will give you a straight answer on," and I'm always amazed at the sheer number of 4th and 5th graders who ask what the Second Coming is like or what it means for God to be Infinite.

Was at Holy Apostles Orthodox Church today in Mechanicsburg PA today! What an amazing group - they contacted me to get out to the church because they had some stuff they had to say!

The summer is coming to a close! We want to show everyone that the Orthodox Faithful are committed. That we want this. That we are willing to play our part. It's time to make your voice heard, and it's time to build the Church.

At the OCF Summer Leadership Institute! Young adults can often feel ignored and left out of the equation in Orthodox ministry, so I'm super happy to be at a summer Institute with them!

Archbishop David of Sitka and all Alaska wants you to take the survey, make your voice heard, and help create the national youth program. And we can't say no to our bishops, can we?

Seriously, we are 20 replies away from 1000! So close!

We're having an INCREDIBLE time in Alaska! We had one of our talks last night, and I must say - the young men and women here are so incredibly insightful, dedicated, and eager to help here. I've been just blown away by everyone's dedication to Christ. They need our help and love, and also want to give help and love to the rest of the world. By the grace of God, the youth project will come to fruition in such a way that will help them deepen their love, and all young Orthodox Christian's love, for Jesus Christ. They deserve it.
