“In prison I had heard about the Orthodox Church from a prisionmate. I had grown up Baptist, but there wasn’t a real accountability and structure. When I got out, I started going to an Orthodox Church in L.A. When I moved to San Diego, I found St. Gregory of Nyssa Church. I told Fr. Simeon my situation. He helped me get connected with God’s Extended Hand and Pastor Curtis."

“The Orthodox that come in (Wednesday nights) are so great. I have made so many friends with them. I have seen FOCUS…you know, the Orthodox, being involved here for some years now. There is something different that I like. I really like the special meatloaf we had tonight…we have once a month!”

“I’m from the Pueblo Nation in New Mexico. I came here twenty years ago. I come around (God’s Extended Hand) a lot and I like it here. Thanks for talking to me”

“Im a native San Dieagan. I have a sister, but we live two different lives.
I come around God’s Extended Hand quite often, so I’ve met a lot of the Orthodox volunteers…
My favorite thing to do, besides going to church is roller skating, you know, like the racing kind with four wheels!”“Im a native San Dieagan. I have a sister, but we live two different lives.
