And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the Water of Life freely. — rev. 22:17, nkjv

Through the use of modern media, the AYS Global Project seeks to open the Eastern Orthodox Church and its ancient message of Salvation through Jesus Christ to a world thirsty for understanding. Are You Saved? has already reached tens of thousands in book form; with the global reach of the Internet, millions more will be able to reach for the Water of Life.

Operating with the blessing of His Eminence Metropolitan Iakovos of the Greek Orthodox Metropolitan of Chicago, the Project relies on the prayers of the faithful and the generosity of donors like you who support the production of professional translations and the distribution of the book. We have no paid staff and take no compensation ourselves, but we do incur printing and distribution costs, along with the fair compensation of our translators. Will you become part of the team spreading the Word and the Way across the globe? Help us move forward faster – donate today! Thank you!

Please pray for us, asking for God’s protection and blessing upon everyone touched by this effort:

In your name, O Lord, God of Truth, and in the name of your only-begotten Son, and of your Holy Spirit, I(we) pray today for all those who, in honesty and humility, seek out Your ancient Way. Let Your eyes always regard them in mercy and Your ears always attend to their prayers.

Protect them under the shadow of Your wings and remove far from them any error or prideful self-indulgence.

Fill them with the faith, hope, and love that is exemplified in Your Son Jesus Christ; for in walking with Him, they will find Life.

Grant that they will observe Your commandments, doing those things that are pleasing to You and rejoicing in the godly works of their hands.

Inscribe them in the Book of Life and, in due time, unite them to Your one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church, the flock of Your inheritance. Worshiping alongside the powers of Heaven, together may we hymn You, praise You, and give thanks to You all the days of our lives.

For yours is the glory of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. AMEN (Adapted from The Book of Needs of the Holy Orthodox Church).
