Please know that my family and me are thankful every day for the enormous outreach of AFR. As a cradle Orthodox, nearly 70 years old, my only regret is that AFR was not a part of my life from the cradle onward. The consolation is that, with God’s blessings, AFR will continue for generations to come. Grant O Lord!

I just wanted to thank you for the recording of the Paraklesis service, There are many version of the service, but this is the one we do in our parish and the one my kids know from Antiochian Village. Now that we are not all together (from LA to Newfoundland and several places in between), we still all listen to the Paraklesis during the Dormition Fast when we can't get to church. Thank you, thank you and God bless your ministry! This is the kind of thing that keeps young people connected to the church.

Can I just say that I love Ancient Faith Ministries? Y'all have been a blessing to both my wife and myself on our journey out of Mormonism and into the arms of Christ. I am very grateful.

I just want to thank you for AFR, I wake up with it and go to bed with it, I listen to it when driving, cooking and pretty much throughout the day, I’m from Australia and although I go to fellowship weekly, I find AFR has so much to offer and has answered many of my questions. It goes hand in hand with my fellowship classes, as I bring a lot of what I learn here into our class discussions. A heartfelt thank you for all you do. I thank God and pray that AFR continues to provide a place for us to come and feed our souls

I am a traditional Anglo-Catholic, part of a parish that is isolated in a very PC Episcopal Diocese. I am so grateful to Ancient Faith for providing me with the learning and nourishment that my own church is no longer able to provide.

Thank you for all you do! AFR has enhanced and deepened my faith... and has furthered my understanding of Orthodoxy to a much greater level. I can actually defend my faith to my Protestant friends! Also AFR has helped me immensely in my marriage and parenting through the many resources and podcasts that are available. How truly blessed we are to have AFR so readily available. May God continue to bless and guide you! My only wish is for all listeners to generously support AFR!

I am 50 years old, have been in Baptist Churches since the age of two weeks old (according to my mother), have two degrees from Baptist seminaries, and have served on church staffs. As I began exploring the Orthodox Faith, Ancient Faith Radio (and Ancient Faith publications) became invaluable to me. I imagine it will always be invaluable to me. I’ve not made any public announcement yet, but I’m hopeful that my wife and I can begin the process of converting to the Orthodox Church later this year.

Thanks for all your hard work over the years with AFR. A true Godsend for an English-speaking convert in Wales where orthodox services/sermons, etc., are mostly not in English.

Thanks for making so many of your older podcasts available. During Lent I listened to a lot of Fr. Hopko's Lenten podcasts going back to 2008 and was blessed greatly by them. Y'all do a great job!

I want you folks to know how very much my husband and I value and appreciate AFR. You truly are a lifeline to those of us who are not blessed to have a church that offers services more than once or twice a month. We must rely on your podcasts and books to keep us fed between Liturgies.

Good afternoon. Every morning when I wake up, I listen to your radio. It gives me energy and a good mood for the whole day. Now, I cannot imagine my normal day without your radio. My whole family also listens to your radio. With thanks and best wishes, your regular listener. Good luck to you all!

I have been Roman Catholic all my life, and it has been a constant struggle to convince myself that amid all its contradictions, factions, and chaos that it was indeed the "true faith" as I was always told it was. I do not know how Orthodoxy was hidden from me for so long, but now that God has revealed it to me, it seems that everything I read, watch, and listen to regarding the Ancient Faith makes sense, and no contradictions. What my heart yearned for in the Roman Catholic faith that I only sometimes sensed there I consistently experience when I approach Orthodoxy. The shadows that the Roman Catholic faith left in my life have been illuminated, and even that faith now makes perfect sense. I am not yet Orthodox in nature, but am getting there—at least in my heart. It all makes sense now, and I love accessing this website, listening, reading and learning. I have bought several Ancient Faith books, including the Orthodox Study Bible, which is such a joy to read, and again, illuminating. We have even attempted to fast in the Orthodox fashion, and have found that it is not impossible. My heart is overjoyed, as I think my wife's is too, that we are now on the original and intended path to Jesus Christ. Thank you for providing that light for us.

Hi! I‘m a regular AFR listener! Thank you so much for all your hard work!

My wife and I listen to you every day. We heard about your program from a link in an article about our local Orthodox Church in Berlin, MD. What a blessing you have provided us. Please keep up the great messages and God bless you all.

I just wanted to let you know how thankful I am for the Ancient Faith Radio app and your listing of podcasts on your website. I’ve been wanting to get back to church, but I wasn’t sure where to start my search. In searching for podcasts, I came across the Faith Encouraged Daily podcast and subscribed. This had me search for more Ancient Faith Radio podcasts and I also found the app. I’ve been listening daily to different podcasts for the past two weeks, and they have encouraged me to learn more about Orthodox Christianity of which I was not familiar. Thank you for the great work you do.
