Aaron Kwakye - Media Lead
Aaron’s journey to Holy Orthodoxy began much like many young people today: through the vibrant portal of the internet. It was online that he encountered the richness of Orthodox Christianity, and within him ignited a passion to share this discovery with others in the same digital space.
He believes that captivating videos can become windows into the heart of our faith, offering glimpses of joy, meaning, and connection that resonate with a generation raised on screens. His vision isn't just about creating compelling content, but about using it as a bridge – a bridge that invites viewers to step across the threshold and experience the depth, authenticity, and warmth of our church community in person. He dreams of crafting videos that spark curiosity, ignite questions, and inspire young people to seek out the source of the light they see shining through the screen.
