Love Made Visible
Support FOCUS North America this Giving Tuesday.
Dear reader,
Giving Tuesday is just around the corner—December 2nd—and I want to personally invite you to join me in supporting FOCUS North America.
(Be sure to read all the way to the bottom for a truly moving video I think you’ll appreciate.)
I’m blessed to serve as the Executive Director of FOCUS, which is doing extraordinary work as the domestic service arm of the Orthodox Church:
feeding the hungry,
clothing the naked,
providing shelter to the unhoused,
forming our youth through YES (Youth Equipped to Serve), and
making the Kingdom of Heaven manifest to thousands of people across the country.
FOCUS helps make the Lord’s love visible for all we serve and serve with.
And right now, your gift to the FOCUS National Office will be doubled, thanks to a $75,000 Matching Gift Challenge. That means every dollar you give—$100, $500, or $5,000—has twice the impact to strengthen and expand this sacramental ministry across the country.
supports and sustains all 13 FOCUS Centers,
launches new Centers in underserved cities, and
spearheads a variety of outreach ministries such as YES, Back-to-School Backpacks, etc.
(You can also support a Center near you; we’ve secured additional matching grants for most of our local ministries.)
If you’re able, I’d be honored to have you join me in making a gift, large or small. It truly matters, and it touches lives across the country with the love of Christ.

Have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving!
Best,
Steve
PS Here’s a beautiful story I think you’ll appreciate. God loves us so much that He invites us to be cheerful givers who share our abundance with our brothers and sisters! Glory to God!
