The Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC) in St. Augustine, Florida, is offering you the opportunity to join one of the Orthodox Mission Teams in 2010. Acknowledge your commitment in implementing Christ’s Great Commission by serving on a short-term mission team.

There is a need to present a visible expression of the love, unity, and support that truly exists within the Holy Orthodox Church around the world; to share the teachings of the Faith and to provide needy communities around the globe with labor; and to increase awareness of overseas churches and the unending mission efforts of the Church. Your continued support of Orthodox missions is greatly needed, and you can help by serving on a Mission Team.

Orthodox Mission Teams will travel and assist Orthodox communities on various projects. Mission Team efforts in 2010 include:
