Few days ago the Russian Orthodox Church released a new social network build on top of Telegram.

In this dedicated social network users can join the official channels of over 16 000 churches as well as connect to people within the same church. They can receive news, Bible readings and organise volunteer help.

Within the social network users can also use different chatbots available on Telegram. For example a chatbot which searches for a nearest pharmacy ect.

You can try the Telegram Social Network yourself here (available in 8 languages)

I think that Paypal integration to receive donations from volunteers will look interesting here:
