Material help was collected by the Cyril and Methodius
Mission Charitable Foundation and Missionary
Department of Saint Tikhon's Orthodox University of
Humanities with the support of the Missionary Commission
at the Moscow Diocesan Council, organizers told
Interfax-Religion.
Last November, Father John came to Moscow and met with the
students of the Missionary Department. Powerful monsoonal
rains in Pakistan resulted in floods and epidemics of
pyrexia. According to the UN data, over two million people
suffered from the epidemics, including 500 thousand
children. Then St.Tikhon's University students initiated
fundraising for the suffering brothers.
"Father John with his community asks for prayers. Three hundred people out of five hundred Pakistan Orthodox believers make his parish. The community in the jurisdiction of the Constantinople Patriarchate hold divine services in the priest's house as they don't have a church," press service of the Missionary Commission mentions.
