Day 1 ~ Oct. 27, 2014 ~ Monday
We started our mission at
the headquarters of the Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC) in
Saint Augustine, Florida, for an orientation with other members of our team,
and two members of another team. This was our first time there and it was a blessing to meet the staff
and see the collaborative work of all the Orthodox jurisdictions in America.  |
