Being a Good Shepherd

Fr. Chris Metropulos

What would you do if a plague were to hit your area? Father Themi Adamopoulo proved what he’d do. He is a true example of the Gospel of John 10:11, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.” Today, Fr. Chris Metropulos speaks with Fr. Themi regarding his ministry in Sierra Leone, West Africa, while thousands of people were dying from Ebola. Listen to this inspiring discussion on how love can give you the courage to do what God has called you to do. To support Fr. Themi’s work, go to www.paradise4kids.org.

But first, listen as Fr. Chris speaks with Dr. Maria Khoury, the writer of the “Christina Goes to…” series, about her experience living in Taybeh, Palestine. She has been to the Holy Life-Giving Tomb of Christ to experience the Miracle of the Holy Fire at Pascha and is dedicated to maintaining a Christian presence in the Holy Land.
