SPIRITUAL PROTECTORS OF THE FOUNDATION
Holy Hierarchs JOHN MAXIMOVICH and CALINIC from CERNICA
Saint John Maximovitch (1896-1966) was tonsured as a
monk in 1926 and was ordained as a deacon in Milkovo
Monastery in Yugoslavia. He was professor at the
theological seminary "John the Baptist" in Bitola, and in
1934 was ordained bishop and sent to China, the
Shanghai diocese, from where (at which time) the saint
took refuge with his spiritual children in the Philippines.
In 1951, he was appointed as archbishop in Western
Europe, where he maintained a constant interest in
pastoral care of both the Russian Diaspora, over which he
labored tirelessly, and local people, having jurisdiction
over the Orthodox Churches of France, Holland, Belgium
and Spain. He also organized many philanthropic and
charitable societies, hospitals, retirement homes,
orphanages, and schools. Furthermore, he settled religious
conflicts and raised churches. In America, he fought
against contemporary heresies and founded Saint Herman
of Alaska Brotherhood, which became the most important
missionary center in California. He was a defender of the
poor, an accomplished ascetic and a loving parent to
orphans. A follower of the first apostles, he behaved in
imitation of fools for Christ, often walking barefoot. At
night he used to visit hospitals, nursing homes and
hospices to pray at the bedside of the sick, many of whom
were then miraculously healed by the intercessions of
Saint John. Canonized in 1994, he's celebration is July 2.
Saint Calinic from Cernica (1787-1868) was
tonsured as a monk in 1808 and shortly became the
leader of the monastic congregation of Cernica, then
bishop of Ramnic in 1850. He was one of the finest
representatives of Romanian spirituality, a great
patriot, as well as a lover and supporter of local
tradition and culture. He managed in a wonderful way
to reconcile the ascetic and contemplative life, by also
actively initiating many organization and construction
projects: founding many monasteries (Frăsinei,
Pasărea, Căldăruşani, Icoana, Ghighiu, Poiana
Mărului, Răteşi, Ţigăneşti, Ciorogârla) as well as
many churches, hospitals, orphanages, schools and
typographies, bringing about revivals throughout the
whole of the theological and ecclesiastical life of
Romania. His impressive spiritual life was full of
abstinences, kindness and gentleness, posts and
vigils, and numerous charities. He had lists of people
to whom he always gave aid. If he had nothing else to
give to charity, His Holiness gave the clothes he was
wearing, and would those who were around him "to
give money for poor brothers of Christ.” His prayers
for the sick were swift and brought miraculous
healing, also effective were his prayers for all those
who were in any kind of trouble. He was canonized
in 1955 and the day of he's celebration is April 11.
“BUT IF ANYONE HAS THE WORLD'S GOODS AND SEES HIS BROTHER IN NEED,
YET CLOSES HIS HEART AGAINST HIM, HOW DOES GOD'S LOVE ABIDE IN HIM?
MY CHILDREN, LET US NOT LOVE IN WORD OR TALK BUT IN DEED AND IN TRUTH.”
I JOHN 3, 17-18
According to its own Articles of Incorporation and Status, The Foundation of Saint John
Maximovich is an Orthodox Missionary Organization, nongovernmental, non-profit,
apolitical and independent, established under Ordinance 26 of 2000 (Romanian legislation), in
the purpose of performing missionary activities of the kind that the Holy Hierarch John
Maximovich developed, mainly by programs of religious, educational and humanitarian type,
in order to continue, with its humble means, the great apostolic work of the one who is the
spiritual patron of the Foundation, together with Holy Hierarch Calinic from Cernica.
The Foundation works with the blessing of
His Beatitude Theodore II, Orthodox
Patriarch of Alexandria and All Africa and
in partnership with the Orthodox
Archdioceses of Congo, Kenya and Tanzania
(see documents posted on website) with 22
missionary
infrastructure
projects
(churches, schools, hospitals, dormitories)
ongoing in these countries.
Why Africa?
The whole orthodox missionary African structure
is at present in serious financial difficulty
because of the global economic crisis, before this
time, it was able to rely upon the financial
support of traditional Orthodox countries The Patriarch of Africa together
with the President of the Foundation.
Greece mainly.
By ceasing this funding, most projects started in recent years have been stuck in
various stages of implementation. This is the case of Congo and Kenya, where the
orthodox missions are more than half a century old (eg. in those countries statistics
show that over 50% of missionary school’s students become orthodox during an
education stage). In Tanzania, where the Orthodox mission is younger (15 years) the
economic crisis came at a time of real expansion. Due to the demographic explosion
around the new golden mines and in order to absorb the over-demand in the education
field, municipalities offered free land to the Orthodox Church, under the condition
that schools would be built within a maximum 3 years term, with the sanction of
revocation for not starting the works until the end of this period (see projects
Nyankumbu-Geita and Ukerewe, where the deadline has already passed and the land
may be lost at any time.
Why infrastructure projects?
Since his descent into Africa, the white man only brought violence,
oppression, exploitation, injustice and abuse, sowing discord and
maintaining poverty and disease in order to control the masses,
ruthlessly pursuing nothing but immediate economic interests, seriously
affecting the environment and health of the indigenous population.
Under these conditions the African people are rightly
skeptical when the white man suddenly declares
unconditional love, even in the form of the straightest
institutionalized religion in this world.
Indeed, the word is not enough. The church is the bridgehead. But
African people must see that what is preached there has immediate
application in their everyday reality. Churches we have already.
But we have to build schools, homes, hospitals, canteens, and
welfare centers to put around the churches.
The vast majority of Africans suffer physically and mentally
from practicing witchcraft, pagan traditions and local
idolatrous beliefs.
We, the whites, must now demonstrate through our
actions, that this time we keep our word and the love of
orthodox people is not just another empty promise.
We need to continue what we started. Otherwise, the
Orthodox apostolate will permanently lock by losing
its moral authority and even converts will return to
their old practices.
We know that "in terms of energy, Africa is starving in the
midst of plenty" - J.Stiglitz, Nobel Prize winning economist
(eg., Electrification rates in concerned countries are: 20%Congo, 14%-Kenya, 11 %-Tanzania); we know that one average
African family has over 10 members who eat once a day and live
in earthy huts covered with straw - given that, compared to
Europe, prices of construction materials are 5-6 times higher
and wages are less than half; we know that 70% of the
income of such families is spent on children schooling; we
know that because of poverty, people do not have access even to
basic healthcare and on top of occupational diseases caused by
non-ecological exploitation of natural resources, they die of
diseases that in the occidental world are considered banal...
... And above all, WE KNOW
that currently over 80% of
africans die unbaptized!
We know all this ...
BUT WHAT ANSWER
WILL WE GIVE?
The Projects of the Foundation of Saint John Maximovich
Students of Orthodox School from Kolwezi
(Congo - Katanga)
Churches. But mainly schools, dormitories and
hospitals. ALL CHARITABLE, BECAUSE
ORTHODOXY MUST CONVINCE WITH
FACTS. We need schools and dormitories,
where children of Africa can escape from
exploitation, poverty, delinquency and starvation
without being asked for anything in return. We
need hospitals, where Africans are treated as
human beings, bearing the image of God and
where orthodoxy annually saves thousands of
lives. But it's not enough. Love should be
multiplied over and over again, reinforced with
acts and offered unconditionally.
With its humble means, the Foundation is currently developing 22 projects, in various
stages of completion, all sanctioned in partnerships sealed at the bilateral level with
one of the Orthodox Archdiocese mentioned. These documents can be fully examined
on www.fsioanmaximovici.com, section “Proiecte in derulare,” including estimates
of execution, graphical scheduling of works and payment installments, technical
projects of execution, specialized drawings and photographs taken in each location
by Foundation's representative. The total amount of these projects is about 2 million
USD and the targeted segment of population is about 1.22% of the African continent.
CHURCH KATUBA (“BISERICA KATUBA”)
Location: R.D.Congo, Katanga Province
Beneficiaries: 250,000 people
Amount already invested: 50.000 USD
Amount required: 72.000 USD
In 1976 one of the first Orthodox missionaries in Congo,
Father Cosmas of Gregoriou, built on this plot the
Church "St. Stephen", the church became impractical
given the increased number of Orthodox in Katuba, it
had to be partially demolished in order to build the
joined Church of "Holy Fotini and Catherine ".
The foundation of this church and the steel structure already completed can be seen in the
photo; in the background, the old church and the school "Light of Christ", where a classroom
for religious services was provisionally arranged. The construction will fully comply with the
technical project of the church "St. Sofia" (photo right) completed at Kipusi by the local
partner of the Foundation also – The Orthodox Diocese of Katanga.
SCHOOL KATUBA (“SCOALA KATUBA”)
Location: R.D.Congo, Katanga Province
Beneficiaries: 250,000 people
Amount already invested: 65.000 USD
Amount required: 15.000 USD
This is the school "Light of Christ", located in the
vicinity of the Church "Holy Fotini and Catherine"
mentioned above. Construction is almost finished,
and to become functional still requires electrical
installations and plumbing, gutters and finishing
work. The school's capacity will be over 800
The chapel provisionally arranged in a classroom children annually - primary and secondary.
HOSPITAL KOLWEZI (“SPITAL KOLWEZI”)
Location: R.D.Congo, Katanga Province
Beneficiaries: 2 million inhabitants
Amount already invested: 90.000 USD
Amount required: 81.000 USD
The new building – construction in progress;
in the background, the existing hospital.
In Congo, the state health system is on the
verge of bankruptcy; therefore patients are
forced to choose private health structures.
However, they prefer the orthodox hospital
which is CHARITABLE and offer the best
treatment conditions in the area; this is being
officially recognized and awarded by
International Human Rights Organization.
In the Katanga province, the population is exposed to specific occupational diseases caused by
inappropriate use of uranium in mining (severe malformations of newborns, sterility,
severe kidney disease), further health problems arise because of the lack of minimal
prophylactic means, producing illness even in the cases of diseases considered ordinary in the
occidental world. This extension is necessary due to the low number of beds of the existing
structure (87 mounted - 120 in case of epidemics) which is why most patients are discharged
before their complete healing. In addition to treating local diseases (malaria, typhoid,
leprosy) the new structure will also include a maternity ward and the first dental service in this
region. Our project is to complete the construction of a new hospital building that will expand
the capacity of the Orthodox "Sts Cosmas and Damian" Hospital in Kolwezi (Katanga
provincial capital) from 6000 to 10,000 patients annually.
SCHOOL TSHALA (“SCOALA TSHALA”)
Location: R.D.Congo, Katanga Province
Beneficiaries: 18,000 people
Amount already invested: 3.000 USD
Amount required: 24.000 USD
Due to ongoing degradation of the
building, in recent years the building
has become impractical and even
risky for children's lives, and for this
reason more and more students
dropped out, and even parents are
reluctant to send their children to
school.
Built 36 years ago, near the Orthodox Church
"Saint Anastasia", the school "Light of Christ 4"
works so far without electrification, no drinking
water and no bathroom. In the building shown in
the picture, over 500 students (in 3 rooms of 48
sqm!) are taught in two shifts, in overcrowded
spaces at very high temperatures. During the
rainy season (6 months/year) when the day is shorter, the last courses are virtually held in the dark.
The proposed works consist of urgent renovation
and strengthening of the existing building and
construction of 4 classrooms of 50sqm each, an
office, a bathroom and a water well.
SCHOOL LWALABA (“SCOALA LWALABA”)
Location: R.D.Congo, Katanga Province
Beneficiaries: 15,000 people
Amount required: 24.000 USD
The 30 years old School "Light of Christ 9" has
never been renovated and is in poor condition
similar to Tshala school (shown above) operating
with 600 students in three overcrowded rooms
(40sqm each!) without electricity and with very
poor study conditions.
The building is close to the Orthodox Church "St. Andrew" from Lwalaba (pictured overleaf), in
a region where the average population density is 5.8 inhabitants / km ², children are being forced
to walk long distances to reach school, which is yet another reason to quit education.
The situation being similar to that of Tshala school
(except for the pit toilet and water well - already
built), the school urgently requires the renovation
and strengthening of the existing building , also to
build 4 classrooms and a 50sqm administration office
The school is right next to the church “St. Andrew”
CHURCH MORONGIOT (“BISERICA MORONGIOT”)
Consacrated to: Saint John Maximovici
Location: Kenya, Nandi District
Beneficiaries: 50,000 people
Amount already invested: 30.000 USD
Amount required: 22.000 USD
Finalizing works of the church are: masonry completion, metal roof, ceramic flooring, plastering, painting,
windows + doors, electrical installation and bell tower.
In recent years the Orthodox population of this district has grown so much (90% Orthodox)
that the old church (built in 1990) had to be partially demolished to rebuild a new one three
times larger in size. The new church will have 160sqm and it will be made of durable materials.
SCHOOL NAIROBI (“SCOALA NAIROBI”)
Location: Kenya, Nairobi
Beneficiaries: 3.2 million people
Amount already invested: 40.000 USD
Amount required: 150.000 USD
Existing
foundation
The Kenyan education system requires school fees, except from orthodox
structures that are charitable. For this reason, for orphans or children from
other disadvantaged groups, Orthodox schools are the only chance to have
access to education. But when they get out of institutionalized adult
supervision, these children end up on the street, forced to do anything to
survive - which is why in Kenya, juvenile crime is a serious social disease.
The Missionary Centre in Nairobi has only a primary
school (6-14 years old). In the absence of a secondary
school, most primary school graduates give up education
at the most vulnerable ages, consequently entering the
Kenyan criminal environment (alcohol, drugs,
prostitution, etc).
For the children who will learn in this school, the Foundation will build also a dormitory,
objective detailed in the next project. In the photo can be seen the foundation of the school
(90% completed) and the plot on which this dormitory will be built.
DORMITORY NAIROBI (“CAMIN NAIROBI”)
Location: Kenya, Nairobi
Beneficiaries: 3.2 million people
Amount required: 125.000 USD
This dormitory will serve both the Secondary School and
the Superior College of the Nairobi Missionary Centre
(schools foundation photographed in remote plan). The
dormitory will provide free accommodation and meals for
all the students of these structures.
The dormitory is meant to ensure a favorable environment for education and healthy personal
development for orphan students and as well as for those coming from other disadvantaged
circumstances. Except for the Orthodox charitable educational structure, these students would
not have another chance to continue their studies, being exposed to abusive exploitation so
characteristic in the social environment of the Kenyan capital area.
CHURCH NGECHA (“BISERICA NGECHA”)
Consacrated to: Saint John Maximovici
Location: Kenya, Sobea District
Beneficiaries: 70,000 people
Amount already invested: 8.000 USD
Amount required: 29.000 USD
In this district the Orthodox population number is 7,000,
and the 40 years old existing church is too degraded and
too small for our faithful already. This temporary
building is proposed to be demolished in order to build a
new one on the new foundation next to the old church. It
will run the same technical design as in the Morongiot
project (160sqm church), with stone masonry, reinforced
concrete belts, metal roof, ceramic flooring, plaster, painThe new foundation next to the old church ting, windows+doors, electrical installation and bell tower.
DORMITORY KESENGEI (“CAMIN KESENGEI”)
Location: Kenya, Aldai Region
Beneficiaries: 70.000 people
Amount already invested: 12.000 USD
Amount required: 50.000 USD
The existing structure accommodates over 400
children, facing the same typical problems as in the
aforementioned project "SCHOOL NAIROBI".
The complex of Kesengei consists presently of a secondary school, a church and an overcrowded dormitory.
Currently, two classes are arranged with a dormitory
for 60 boys, however with the lack of a canteen,
children have to eat on the school yard (photo left). It
is intended to complete the construction of a dormitory
with 70 beds and a canteen to serve the whole structure,
the works being stuck with the present status:
foundation completed + 20% masonry.
SCHOOL KAPKECHUI (“SCOALA KAPKECHUI”)
Location: Kenya, Eldoret District
Beneficiaries: 80.000 people
Amount required: 45.000 USD
Here the Orthodox educational structure consists in a primary school attended by over 300 children annually. For
these children, the only chance to attend a secondary
school in this region is enrolling in the catholic one.
Our project proposes the construction of a
CHARITABLE secondary school consisting of
a building with 7 rooms (60sqm each), 5 for
classes and 2 for teachers. Given the scale of
this project, both primary school graduates
from the existing school and children from
other disadvantaged groups will have a chance
at education in this extremely poor region.
DORMITORY BUSALI (“CAMIN BUSALI”)
Location: Kenya, Vihiga District
Beneficiaries: 100.000 people
Amount required: 29.000 USD
In this district the Orthodox population is nearly 60%, a
marked increase in recent years, which is why the number
of students has grown at a rate that exceeded the capacitys of
education and accommodation of this 25-year-old complex.
Currently the complex includes a church, a medical center, an
overcrowded dormitory for girls (70 girls in 40 seats) and a
multipurpose room which is currently also used to
accommodate girls. For lack of a dormitory for boys, they
are crowded (two per seat) in extremely damaged
classrooms which are unsuitable for accommodation (see
photo). Our project is to increase the accommodation
capacity of the center with a girls dormitory (60 seats) and a
boys dormitory (200 seats) in order to create a decent
learning environment for these children.
ARCHDIOCESE MWANZA (“ARHIEPISCOPIE MWANZA”)
Location: Tanzania, Nyamagana District
Beneficiaries: 1 million people
Amount required: 239.700 USD
The Orthodox Mission in Tanzania is in its
beginning stages. The first Orthodox church in
Mwanza is the Cathedral "Saint Nicholas" (photo
right). The cathedral is under construction and will
be completed during 2013 (funding completely
covered). It has 430 sqm and is situated on a plot of
6000 sqm, where is to build the archdiocese building also, according to the authorized project.
This will be a two-story building containing the
minimal administrative space required for the
archdiocese. At the ground floor will be offices for
the archbishop and for the vicar and secretary,
administrative rooms and bathroom; upstairs, a
chapel and accommodation for the clergy.

In the background, St. Nicholas Cathedral
SCHOOL UKEREWE (“SCOALA UKEREWE”)
Location: Tanzania, Ukerewe Island
Beneficiaries: 320.000 people
Amount required: 270.000 USD
The center, dedicated to St. John Maximovici, is
positioned amidst an area that is the subject of a
recent urban development project approved by
local city hall, which also provides an airport
nearby. The secondary school to be built will have
two floors (total 1100mp) and will be equipped with
classrooms, laboratories and a library, as required
by legislation (detailed plans on the site).
His Eminence JERONYMOS,
Archbishop of Mwanza,
on the land of the future Missionary Center
in Ukerewe Island, Lake Victoria
Due to the deficit of secondary schools on this island, given the demographic
growth in recent years, the city hall has offered free land to the Orthodox
Church in order to build a secondary school. According to Tanzanian law, if
works do not begin within three years, the city hall has the right to revoke this
act. This term expired in 2012. IT IS THUS COMPULSORY TO START
WORK IMMEDIATELY, in order not to lose this land, which is set to build
the first Orthodox Missionary Center of this island (see following 2 projects).
CHURCH UKEREWE (“BISERICA UKEREWE”)
Consacrated to: Saint John Maximovici
Location: Tanzania, Ukerewe Island (Lake Victoria)
Beneficiaries: 320.000 people
Amount required: 22.000 USD
Fenced plot of the future center
The church will be constructed on durable materials and will serve for the first Orthodox
missionary center in Ukerewe, to which reference was made in the previous project. On this
island there are not any other Orthodox churches and no other Orthodox establishment.
The Missionary Center will contain, besides the
Church of St. John Maximovici, also the
Secondary School presented in the previous
project (to which should be added in time a
college, a faculty, a dormitory and a medical
clinic) and the administrative center presented
in the next project.
His Eminence Jeronymos, on the apostolic
road to the place of future missionary center
ADMINISTRATION UKEREWE
(“ADMINISTRATIE UKEREWE”)
Consacrated to: Saint John Maximovici
Location: Tanzania, Ukerewe Island
Beneficiaries: 320.000 people
This objective is necessary to manage the full Orthodox missionary center in Ukerewe and
will contain both the parochial house where the priest who will serve in the Church of St.
John Maximovici shall dwell, and the administrative area with related dependencies.
The building will have an area of 70sqm and must be built together with the church and the
Secondary School, the latter being a legal obligation in order not to lose the land provided by
the local municipality for this purpose - remember that the term of three years to begin
work has already expired.
MONASTERY KIBUYE (“MANASTIRE KIBUYE”)
Consacrated to: Saint MAKRINA
Location: Tanzania, Bukoba District
Beneficiaries: 2 million people
Amount already invested: 70.000 USD
Amount required: 16.000 USD
This is the first Orthodox monastery of
nuns in Tanzania. The church is "on red,"
roof is 80% completed.
Near the church is a building of cells. Also
intended to be financed in the project is the
finishing of the church by completing the
roof, plastering, flooring, doors, windows
and painting.
MONASTERY KAAGYA
(“MANASTIRE KAAGYA”)
Consacrated to: VIRGIN MARY
Location: Tanzania, Bukoba District
Beneficiaries: 2 million people
Amount already invested: 15.000 USD
Amount required: 60.000 USD
Started 6 years ago, the works for the
church of the first monk monastery in
Tanzania were stopped at the level of
20% masonry.
Near the church is a block of cells where a
chapel is improvised. Here lives Father
Demetrios, the first monk in this country. To
complete the church (the same technical
design as in Kibuye) required the following
works are required: completion masonry,
the roof, plastering, flooring, doors,
windows and painting.
DORMITORY KAYANGA (“CAMIN KAYANGA”)
Location: Tanzania, Karague District
Beneficiaries: 500.000 people
Amount required: 47.000 USD
In Tanzania primary education is free and provided by the state. But
secondary school requires tuition, except Orthodox educational structures.
As in Kenya, also here many graduates of primary schools give up education
for lack of money. The Orthodox CHARITABLE system is their only chance
to have access to higher education and a healthy personal development.
This dormitory shall serve Orthodox secondary school in
Kayanga where students are currently accommodated
in classrooms (photo left), which is why authorities
have warned the school board to begin the works
immediately to build a dormitory, under the penalty of
interruption of didactic activity..
The dormitory must be constructed in strict compliance with the technical specifications
laid down by the ministry of education in Tanzania, with 48 beds, two storage areas and
other appurtenances, in accordance with the Tanzanian law.
ESTABLISHMENT KAYANGA
(“COMPLEX KAYANGA”)
Location: Tanzania, Karague District
Beneficiaries: 500.000 people
Amount required: 245.000 USD
The plot for the
future establishment
Since Kayanga educational structure is in a rural area, in order to obtain legal authorization
as a "Boarding School," according to legal regulations, the law demands that on the same
plot (see photo) a permanent accommodation facility for the school staff of the whole
structure to be created in addition to the secondary school and dormitory
The technical requirements for these buildings are strictly imposed by the Tanzanian
authorities that must be compulsory followed. These projects require the construction of a
separate management staff house (100sqm) and a minimum of three duplexes for the teaching
staff (3x180mp).
SCHOOL NYANKUMBU (“SCOALA NYANKUMBU”)
Location: Tanzania, Geita District
Beneficiaries: 80.000 people
Amount required: 270.000 USD
Here the situation is similar to the one in Ukerewe: the
3-year term to begin the school construction has
already expired and the land can be lost at any time.
Currently Geita district officials are facing a broad demographic explosion generated by the
opening of new mining industrial exploitations, for which they provided free land in Nyankumbu
for the Orthodox Church, with the obligation to build a secondary school within maximum three
years, in order to reduce the big deficit of schools in the region.
Different from Ukerewe is that on a plot adjoining the
land offered by the city hall, the Mission has already
completed the construction of an Orthodox church
(photo above) and a parish house (photo left). By adding
this secondary school, the purpose is also to create a
missionary center similar to the one in Ukerewe (the
technical design used will be exactly the same).
HOSPITAL BUKOBA (“SPITAL BUKOBA”)
Location: Tanzania, Bukoba District
Beneficiaries: 2 million people
Amount required: 150.000 USD
The quality of health services in Tanzania is the result of lack of money, lack of professional medical
staff, the poor infrastructure, lack of electricity
and water.
In Bukoba an orthodox medical center already exists, with
3 buildings well equipped but only for outpatient services,
without the possibility of hospitalization. There is also a
dentistry service, a pharmacy, and 3 labs for analysis. In this
medical center the most important tropical diseases (yellow
fever, malaria, leprosy) are treated as well as endocrine
diseases (diabetes), heart disease, etc.
Patients come from very remote areas (even from Uganda) because this medical center provides
services and equipment that are only available here. It is also the only place that offers,
professional care for both: body and soul, and the most important of all is to mention that
IT OFFERES EVERYTHING IN FULL CHARITY.
It is proposed to partially finance the authorized project approved, which includes the construction
of a new building complex (the plot in photo left) that includes, in order of priority: a chapel
dedicated to St. Panteleimon, three units for hospitalized patients (women, men, children),
incinerator room, maternity, ophthalmology and accommodation for medical missionary staff.
“For judgment is without mercy to one who did no mercy;
but mercy is victorious over judgment!
What use, my brethren, if one claims to have faith but has no deeds?”
