Call of faith: The story of American Orthodox Christian priest that moved to Russia 

Welcome to Russia! Glad you made the move 🙂

Glory to God

Are you Russian?

Are you from Krasnodar?

could we message about how you managed to move

Telling my Serbian friends about Mega Churches and theres a Rock band.. Serb friend "We new need more Rakjia for this story " lol...

Amin. 🙏☦️. I am also an Orthodox convert in the U.S. (what’s left of it). It is beyond sad because I love my heritage here and my historic blood ties to this land; my family has been here since the 1640s. Many more of our Anglo-American people will begin to emigrate to places like Russia. Hungary also has rural “Anglo villages”, as they are known, where Brits, Americans, Canadians, Aussies, etc. all live together. But consider this: As you well know, many of the Orthodox in Russia during the early Bolshevik days had emigrated to places in the West (namely the UK and US). During that time, there were some very holy and pious elders that believed that some of the faithful should resist emigrating and stay in their native land, for the sole purpose of suffering for Christ, for willingly allowing themselves to suffer and, for some, possibly face martyrdom. So too then should some of us right-believing Orthodox folk in the West stay here in our native lands to endure the sufferings to come in our own western lands. Some of the more modern elders of the Church say that America will be a land of many martyrs. We would be wise to listen to what these elders said and stay here so that we might help to evangelise our lands, bringing them back home to Holy Orthodoxy.

There is a big Canadian family (parents + 8 kids) that sold their farm and moved to Russia like 2-3 weeks ago. I've been following their new channel (countryside acres). One of the recent videos introduces their Russian lawyer that works with foreigners that want to move to Russia to get away from the crazy. Just sharing food for thought.

​@charlesmaximus9161, ​Unfortunately, you will not be able to preach. You will be immediately betrayed by your neighbors or colleagues. And you're just going to jail? Isn't it better to give a good God-like life to your loved ones?

@@charlesmaximus9161 Numai ca esti Roman, daca nu gresesc?

Not enough brain in the East.

thank you very much for watching!

Thanks for watching! And good luck on your move to Russia. Keep following my channel as I plan to produce more useful and practical content about life in Russia.

@@TimKirbysTravel thank you 🙏

@@TimKirbysTravelhowd you get into russia with the us passport ban?

@@MadSlav11 there is no such thing as a "U.S. passport ban".

Best of Luck! 🙏🌠

Thanks for watching 😊

Thanks so much for your support!

Oh damn dude you already had many Orthodox Christians in Ukraine walking the walk. Such a shame you had to invade them.

@@xenoliferttv9803the ukranian government banned the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Russia was never the problem.

Truly.

Hey Man ;)

No two ways about it!

Спасибо :)

@@Death2Compromise Yes it is hard. But if you will live hear, it will be easier. Especially if you will live in "american willage" or in the big city, where are a lot of work for english-spoken person.

I’m not going to lie to you - it’s not an easy language! I also wasn’t particularly academic at language learning but by being here and putting in the effort, I managed to learn it fluently. So you just need to start 😉

​@@Death2Compromise They say that our language is complex, but it conveys all shades of any emotion, it is a living language of the soul. When you start to speak and read in Russian, you will understand what this mysterious Russian soul is 😊❤️

@@interpretologWow so amazing! This is definetly a real conversation and not propagada! If Russian is so great, why are you having the conversation in english?

if im Catholicism can i covert to russian orthodox

Thanks for your kind words 😊

@@TimKirbysTravel Thank you for showing the faith to others.

God bless brother

Thanks for your words of support 🙏🏻

I'm sure it has. I viewed it quite a few years ago, before Covid. It disappeared from RU-vid some time after, and now it has been reissued. But this is not Russia today. I've been wondering just how things are with Fr. Joseph now. He is in my prayers.

Thanks! I’ll pass it on to my team 😊

DANG! Some people really dont give a shit about the morality of deceiving others for personal gain!

@@xenoliferttv9803 Yep, my country Canada is the #1 champion in that category, at par with Brits, US, and Germany.

Thanks for watching. Don’t forget to share his story with your friends ☺️

У Вас русская внешность

That’s a great start 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 keep up the studying and good luck when you do make the move 😊

Hi, I'm from St. Petersburg. I'm actually trying to find someone I could practice talking to in English (at least talking through text and maybe potentially talking in person). Perhaps if you are interested in talking to someone (at least by messages) for practicing russian we could get in touch somewhere on social media? It could be a productive exchange of language, literature and culture knowledge, or it could be a conversation that will die after a few messages, who knows

@@justmark6906 Hello, I just saw your message and I would be interested in this.

Рад, что вас обрадовал 😊 не забудьте поделиться каналом с друзьями!

America could learn a lot if the people would listen. God has a plan for Russia.

Thanks for your kind, supportive words! Don’t forget to share my channel with friends to help it grow ☺️

thanks for watching!

USA citizen also and I am so saddened by the moral decay in usa

I’m very happy to see more foreigners here, but I hope that won’t be the reason that there’s more of them.

Maybe from other countries but USA is a secular state

You mean regular people in america being persecuted by fake christians

✝️❤️☦️

На самом деле их намного больше,чем 2. В Подмосковье строится деревня на 200 домов для переселенцев из Америки. Я подписана и на американцев,которые живут в Москве,и в Магадане,австралийцев, которые переехали в Новосибирск. Все с разными профессиями и увлечениями. Но все счастливы,что оказались здесь и получили наше гражданство

​@@natashaosipova5190 благодаря вам некоторые подписки у вас позаимствовал ) А иак, часть каналов у меня с вашими совпадали )

Thanks 😊

@@Dimitrius0713 🤝

Thanks for watching and good luck with the move! You’ll love it here.

Hey i am MegaTubetiger. I had to change my identity. I got granted permanent citizenship for just 2 years of service. Sounded like a good deal as it came with free scholarship. After 2 months my legs got blown off and now the only way to get the scholarship is to write positive comments about Russia online. Please help me i cant leave.

Thanks for watching 😊

Thanks for watching 😊

Did someone try to make you marry someone of your same sex?

@@suecastillo1733 not at all. . .since 2017 when Australia legalised same sex marriage, it has been all downhill for the nation. Add to that legalised abortion and Australia has sealed its fate along with all western nations. Take a look around u, it's not hard to see.

​@@Blue1SapphireI just took a look around me and had a laugh thinking about you in the Philippines and this yankee charlatan advertising his cult for bigots in russia.

Absolute balderdash. People are dying to get INTO the USA.

​@@suecastillo1733balderdash 👍

@@brinjoness3386 have you heard about a little unpleasantness we are having re immigrants at our southern border, dying to get in?

Paperwork is paperwork everywhere…but it’s definitely getting easier.

I hope this helps: www.rbth.com/science-and-tech/331042-how-to-join-russian-army/amp (Note this is an article from 2019 so some things may have changed)

Thank you and may God bless you for taking time to share this information. Sadly I am past the age limit of 30. ​@@TimKirbysTravelMay God also bless president Vladimir Putin and the Russian people.🙏❤️🕊️

Come!
