OCMC Missionaries on Tour - Invite them to your Parish today!

St. Augustine, FL - In the next few months, several OCMC Missionaries will be touring the country to share the highlights of their ministries in the foreign mission field. This fall, your parish could have the blessing of hearing about the work of these dedicated servants of the Lord first-hand. By hosting an OCMC Missionary, your parish will learn how to assist in the growth of the Orthodox Faith around the world.

Panayiotis and Shannon Sakellariou will be coming to the USA in August and September. Shannon is the director of “Protagonists” elementary school run by the Orthodox Church in Albania. Now in its third year, the school has three grades and 76 students. Panayiotis teaches English and computer skills at the Resurrection of Christ Seminary. Panayiotis and Shannon are both involved in youth ministries at the Orthodox Youth Center, the girls’ summer camp program and the university’s Orthodox fellowship and youth leaders’ Bible study. Find out about the importance of education, youth ministry, and more by inviting the Sakellarious to speak at your parish!

Melanie Linderman will be visiting the United States in September and October. Melanie works alongside Panayiotis Sakellariou teaching English at the Resurrection of Christ Seminary, and is “grandmother” to over 30 children at the Children’s Home of Hope in Albania. On her speaking tour, she will also be representing the ministries of her daughter and son-in-law, Pauline and George Russell. The Russells worked diligently to open and operate a Soup Kitchen, which now serves 90 people three times a week. Learn about the challenges and joys of feeding the hungry, teaching future leaders of the Church, and more by inviting Melanie Linderman to speak at your parish!

Floyd Frantz will be touring the States from late September through November. Floyd developed the St. Dimitrie program, through the Orthodox Church in Romania, to help people who have substance abuse problems. The treatment program focuses on the whole person – physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and spiritually. Discover more about how God transforms and physically saves lives through addictions programs by inviting Floyd Frantz to speak at your parish!

To invite one of these OCMC Missionaries to speak in your community, please contact Maria Gallos at 1-877-GO-FORTH or missionaries@ocmc.org. For more information on these and other OCMC Missionaries please visit www.ocmc.org.
