“Video Lessons” in a New Format

In keeping with the truth that the Church of Christ, in her missionary endeavors — which always and exclusively entail the proclamation of the Word of God — has ever been contemporary and in step with the times, the missionary portal Kinonia presents to visitors of the portal and its social media pages a series entitled “Video Lessons.” Thanks to the continued collaboration of our associate, Miss Jovana Babović, this series may now be followed in a renewed format. All video recordings are collected on our YouTube channel:

The aim of this series is to bring spiritual and cultural values closer to the faithful people, especially the youth — guiding them to follow the example of the saints while keeping their gaze fixed upon Christ. With the help of contemporary information technologies, we daily bring you teachings of the clergy and monastics, using short video formats such as reels (up to 60 seconds long) and shorts (up to 2 minutes long).

“Video Lessons” is a series disseminated through the Facebook and Instagram pages, as well as through the YouTube channel of the missionary portal Kinonia. The overall editorial effort of the project has been entrusted to Miss Jovana Babović, a regular associate of the portal Kinonia.

Previously, contributions to this project were also made by Marijana Babović and Milica Jeftić, to whom we express our heartfelt gratitude for their service to the mission of our Holy Church within the framework of the missionary portal Kinonia, wishing them every good gift from the Lord.
