CWJS Ep. 21 | Saint John Maximovich: A Valiant Crusade in Shanghai's Slums!

Cloud of Witnesses Radio

Welcome to Cloud of Witnesses: Journey with the Saints! Cloud of Witnesses is a podcast version of a dynamic, full-cast retelling of the Lives of the Saints!
Prepare to journey through the gritty slums of Shanghai with us, and be gripped by the heroic and heartrending story of Saint John Maximovich. Listen as we recount how this small man, with a speech impediment, used his faith as a shield and his courage as a sword to rescue countless children from the mire of despair. His extraordinary act of trading vodka bottles to save children from the streets and his impactful work in running an orphanage that has touched over 3,000 lives, paints an inspiring portrait of Christian faith in action.
We at CWJS hope someday, we'll also be peeling back the curtain on the phenomenal actors who breathed life into the characters we've been following throughout this series. Hear firsthand the tales that inspired their performances, the gratitude they feel at being part of this project, and the profound hope they share that listeners will feel the guiding hand of the saints in their own lives. Join us as we, Jeremy and Nick, immerse ourselves in these powerful stories and pay tribute to the legacy of saintly lives and their lasting impact on the world. You absolutely won't want to miss this enlightening exploration of faith's true power.
Every episode is written, recorded, and produced by our team of Orthodox Christians here in sunny San Diego, California! So brew yourself a hot cup of tea, grab yourself some popcorn, and enjoy this edifying voyage on today's episode of: Cloud of Witnesses: Journey with the Saints!
