Do Eastern Orthodox Evangelize? | A History of Orthodox Christian Missions | Vol. 3. (1601-1917)

Welcome to the third video we are doing in a series on the history of Orthodox missions in the second millennium.

Our first can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KslrBGk2-I

This series of videos was created mainly to answer the accusation of Catholic apologists that we do not evangelize and, therefore, we could not be the true church. Catholic apologists cite the supposed successes of Catholic missionaries throughout North and South America, Africa, and Asia but have these missions actually achieved results more spectacular than other religions and sects?
