Hi all,

just wondering whether anyone has ever created a list of Orthodox missions
(top ten?) for Orthodox to contribute to.

Cheers
John

I personally prefer to give only to specific efforts. I have few funds and my parish is small and needs my support. Frankly, I've always been a bit uncomfortable with giving to charities (as opposed to a specific charitable mission).

Even some of the best reputed charities in the world have been caught with their financial pants down recently (9-11, Katrina). I once heard the President of the Red Cross for the San Diego region interviewed on the radio. He admitted to receiving a salary of over $400,000. As far as I'm concerned that's criminal.

The IOCC is a good one.

OCMC is another worthy cause.

Thanks Paul, Fr Themis Adamopoulos is doing a grand job in Sierra Leone, check out http://www.paradisekids4africa.org.au/

I'm guessing there are many worthwhile missions in Asia as well. J
