Russian Priest, Evangelist to the Punks
Missions & Evangelism

From ABC News

On a Tuesday night, a dark rec hall on the outskirts of Moscow is hosting its weekly "Rock Festival." Teens and 20-somethings mill about, a handful in front of the stage, the rest scattered throughout the low-ceilinged room sitting at tables or standing in groups. At 8:30 p.m., the door to the hall opens and a man who decidedly doesn't belong here walks in. Bald and bearded, he walks with the gait of a large man and the confidence of someone familiar with his surroundings. A cursory glance immediately identifies the black-cassocked man with an oversized gold cross around his neck as a Russian Orthodox priest.

"My job as a priest is to bring the light of Christ to the darkest basements" - awesome quote from the video that wasn't in the written text.

That is a great quote, and he has a great mission outreach. He goes to people in need, instead of waiting for people to come to him. Good story!
