Put Your Faith in
Action - OCMC Mission Teams in 2005 |
 |
 |
In 2004, OCMC Mission Team
members shared their time, talent and energy as
they reflected the Love of Christ and taught the
Orthodox Christian Faith in many places around the
world. In 2005, it could be YOU!
The Orthodox Christian
Mission Center (OCMC), St. Augustine, FL - Do
you want to be a witness of your Orthodox Faith
internationally? Put your Faith in action and
apply to participate on an OCMC Mission Team in
2005!
Fifteen scheduled OCMC Mission Teams will offer
multiple ways for Orthodox Christians to share
their time and talents with an Orthodox community
in need around the world. Hard working Orthodox
Christians from all walks of life are needed to
serve on an Orthodox Mission Team for 1 to 4
weeks. Those who are priests, presbyteras,
deacons, students, seminarians, health care
personnel (doctors, dentists, nurses), teachers,
youth workers, substance abuse counselors, Sunday
School teachers, construction workers,
photographers and all those willing to share the
Orthodox Faith are urged to apply.
While assisting the Orthodox Church, you can put
your faith into action by serving in one of the
following locations: Alaska, Albania, Guatemala,
India, Kenya, Korea, Paraguay, Philippines, Puerto
Rico, Romania, Tanzania, and Uganda in 2005.
Youth outreach and teaching in general is the
focus for many of the OCMC Mission Teams in 2005.
If you have experience with either teens or
children, there is a need for you on an OCMC
Mission Team in 2005. Nurture orphans in Guatemala
or Albania, or help run a youth camp in Korea,
Romania, or a Vacation Bible School in the
Philippines. Be a reflection of God’s love for
all, especially children, by joining one of these
Teams.
People are waiting all around the world to learn
about the Orthodox Christian Faith, and many are
hungry to understand more deeply that which they
have already embraced. In 2005, Orthodox
Christians will have the opportunity to teach in a
variety of settings including Alaska, India,
Puerto Rico, Paraguay and Tanzania this spring and
summer.
Many of OCMC’s mission efforts address physical as
well as spiritual needs of the people we serve and
OCMC Mission Teams are no different. In 2005 a
team of Substance Abuse counselors will go to help
OCMC Missionary, Floyd Frantz, with his programs
in Romania. An OCMC Mission Team of dentists will
travel to Alaska to provide both treatment and
education. A Team of doctors, nurses and other
health care professionals will serve in medical
clinics in Uganda.
In July 2005, one OCMC Mission Team is going to
Chavogere, Kenya for the construction of a science
laboratory for a secondary school built in 2002.
This area of Kenya has received many OCMC Mission
Teams over the years including the first-ever OCMC
Mission Team in 1987.

Teams including date, costs and downloadable
