Sending Disciples and Changing Lives!
All together we can be a part of this amazing work.
It's Time
I first learned of the Orthodox Christian Missions in the early 90's as two young men from my church went to Kenya. At that time I was married with a 4 year old son and working as an Elementary School Counselor. The seed of mission work was planted but reality prevailed. It was not a good time.
Ten years later, we learned of the Hogar Rafael in Guatemala. Once again I felt the tug to go on a mission trip to the orphange. Rather than going on a 10 day mission trip our family decided to adopt our second son. Oscar is now 31 years old and father of 3 beautiful children.
Fast forward to Pascha 2021. I have been retired now for 8 years and living in Clearwater, Florida and volunteering as a receptionist at Holy Trinity's church office. As I am sitting at my computer I feel the tug again. I go to the OCMC web page and I know, "It is time."
Although there are several mission trips, I am drawn to Albania. I am honored to be part of the Home of Hope Virtual Summer Camp and with God's Blessings on a mission trip to Albania the summer of 2022.
Recently, while visiting my grandchildren in the Washington DC at a nearby playground I engaged in a conversation with a lovely family. As we chatted I asked them where they are from. Yes, Albania!!!! Thus, my journey begins.
Won't you share in my journey?
Warmly, Jeanette

One way the Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC) bridges the distance between Churches is through Orthodox Mission Teams. 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!
