Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Over Christmas break, we traveled to Antiochian Village for the national OCF College Conference, an annual gathering of Orthodox college students. Kyra led a workshop on the call to live as saints through resilience and we continued our efforts recruiting applicants for the first OVC cohort this fall. It was energizing! We talked with dozens of students. We shared the vision of OVC. We listened to their stories. It was clear OVC resonated with them.

We have a singular focus this month: Recruit OVC’s historic first cohort! You can help us. Please consider nominating a young adult for the program. To do so, we ask that you please complete this short nomination form by January 30.

Could you prayerfully consider young adults (21-29 years old) you know?

• Someone ready to deepen and stretch her faith?
• Someone at a transitional moment in his life, discerning the next step?
• Someone with a heart for service and ready to learn?

The application deadline is February 15, 2022. Once you nominate, we will do all the follow-up, including (for those accepted into the program) investing 10 months of full-time leadership development and faith formation!

Finally, we’re hosting another info session for prospective OVC applicants on January 18, 8pm EST. Please spread the word and (if you’re 21-29) sign up to attend. Register at the link below.

In Christ,
Michael Sider-Rose
