Teaching on a Virtual Team at St. Clements Orthodox Primary School Nairobi, Kenya
Christ is Risen! I was just accepted to participate on a Virtual Orthodox Mission Team to Kenya, held in the early AM from 18-19 May 2021. This team will be part of a youth mentorship initiative geared to help at risk youth with life skills in an Orthodox context.

Kenya is just coming down from their third Covid-19 wave since last summer and the CDC still ranks Kenya at ‘level 4, very high’. My participation on this mission team, along with four other Orthodox Christians, will consist of teaching about topics related to the pandemic at the St. Clements Orthodox Primary School Nairobi, Kenya: Social Media and Mental Health, Anger Management, Stress Management and Technology and Covid-19. Their headmistress, Virginia Gathoni, provided topics to prepare the youth as they process the pandemic in the next few months. I will discuss Technology and Covid-19 (any ideas you can think of on that topic will be helpful!). Since I am not going on a mission trip this summer, I thought doing a virtual trip would be just as rewarding; please help by supporting my fundraising efforts with a donation to the Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC).Your gift will underwrite the cost of this event and provide support to the St. Clements Orthodox Primary School. Your tax-deductible gift will make a difference in the lives of many! Click My Page below to support. You can make your donation online by simply clicking on the link at the bottom of this message. Or if you prefer, you can also send a check made out to OCMC 220 Mason Manatee Way St Augustine, FL 32086. Please put my name and "Kenya virtual mission" in the memo line. Any amount, great or small, helps in the unending work of missions. Thank you for your support!
Yours in the Risen Christ,

One way the Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC) is bridging the distance between Churches is through Orthodox MissionTeams. Mission Teams connect Orthodox Christians in North America and communities around the world, establishing bonds of love, support and mutual learning. Teams accomplish this by:
- Presenting a visible expression of the love, unity, and support;
- Sharing the teachings of the Orthodox Faith and providing labor; and
- Increasing awareness of overseas Orthodox churches and the unending mission efforts of the Church.
OCMC Teams respond to the needs around the world -- send disciples and change lives. We thank you for being a part of this awesome ministry!
