Hands for the Holy — Media for Monasteries
““And certain women… provided for Him from their substance.” — Luke 8:3”
Hands for the Holy exists in that same posture.
Orthodox Orthodox monasteries carry ancient wisdom into a world that desperately needs it — but most lack the tools to reach it. We close that gap. Through media production, strategic marketing, storytelling, and fundraising, we put professional‑grade resources in the hands of the communities that need them most.
We are not the message. We serve the ones who carry it. We know God will always provide as He always has — but we carry a burning desire to extend the hands when they’re needed.
Eastern Orthodoxy is alive and growing in America by numbers never seen before. That is not a footnote — it is a sign. Our work is to make sure that sign is seen, heard, and resourced.
We are the liaison between the monasteries and the world
Fundraising
One project at a time. We build the campaign, tell the story, and carry the ask so the monastics don’t have to.
Media & Story
Short films and photography that honor privacy — hands, distance shots, and blurred faces where that is asked of us.
Products & Provision
Olive oil, icons, honey, chant — a place to find and buy what a monastery makes, so its hands stay free to pray.
Needs & Volunteers
We connect specific, named needs from the monasteries to the people who can meet them. Do you have skills to offer where they’re needed most?
A City of Refuge, Rising.
The nuns of St. Macarius the Great of Egypt bought 80 bare acres in Casa Grande in 2018. Since then, they’ve dug their own fence posts, laid their own roads, and broken ground on their first building — only to lose nearly $500,000 to a contractor’s sudden death in 2024.
Construction has resumed. What’s needed now is the capital to finish what they started in faith.

We Listen
Every monastery has a different rhythm, a different bishop, a different need. We start by asking.
We Resource
We build the story, run the campaign, list the products, and find the volunteers — freeing the monastics to do what they were called to do.
They Stay Monastics
The sisters and brothers keep to their prayer and their work. Asking for money is not a monastic’s calling — it’s ours.
