Focus Gateway City: A Flourishing Ministry In Saint Louis
Saint Louis, MO – Matushka Christine Mcdonald has been named the new Director of FOCUS Gateway City. She succeeds Father Matthew Mcdonald, who has served with distinction over the past four years. Christine has been a dedicated volunteer at FOCUS Gateway since 2021, finding joy in connecting with guests and volunteers during Sunday Suppers. With a background as a teacher and youth specialist in residential treatment facilities, Christine is passionate about addressing poverty and engaging Orthodox Christians in acts of service.
FOCUS Gateway City, based out of Saint Michael the Archangel Orthodox Church in Saint Louis, offers a range of services, including Sunday dinners, Wednesday breakfasts, a food pantry, a clothing closet, haircuts, and bus tokens.
“We’re excited to see the beginning of the next chapter at FOCUS Gateway City,” said Steven Christoforou. “Father Matt has not just stabilized but brought this ministry into a new era of flourishing. We’re confident Christine will continue this vital work and further the impact of the Center.”
Christine remarked, “I truly feel I receive more than I give from my time spent serving at FOCUS. It’s a blessing to have a place where we can tangibly fulfill Christ’s commandment to feed the hungry while working alongside our Christian brothers and sisters.”
Christine began serving as Director on December 2, which marked the start of a month-long transition. For more information, visit gatewaycity.focusna.org or contact the Center at JavaScript required to view address

Focus Phoenix: Building A Community Of Care In Arizona
Phoenix, AZ – Christopher Lopez has been named the inaugural Director of FOCUS Phoenix. He brings his passion, consistency, and dedication to serving those in need to this new role. A native of Phoenix, Christopher began his career as a Banquet Captain for the Phoenix Mountain Preserve Reception Center, located in the Sunnyslope neighborhood he now serves. Transitioning into the field of Information Technology, he played a key role in the business merger of Safeway Inc. and Albertsons LLC, before pursuing a more purposeful path in the nonprofit sector.
Christopher’s journey into service was inspired by his reception into the Orthodox Christian Church. Leaving behind a successful I.T. career, he embraced roles in nonprofit account management, obtained multiple state licenses, and is currently pursuing a degree in Psychology at Phoenix College. As Co-Chair of Community Outreach for the Living Orthodox Ministry at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral, Christopher brings a unique blend of technical expertise and heartfelt service to his new role. Christopher shared his favorite verse, Matthew 25:40, as the verse that started it all: “And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.’”
Christopher began serving as Director of FOCUS Phoenix on December 9. More information is available at focusphoenix.org, or by contacting the Center at JavaScript required to view address
