OCMC short-term missionaries Mike and Diane Oravecz of Wheaton, IL, who just returned from Kenya, found their experience “life changing!”

The Orthodox Christian Mission Center [OCMC] is seeking ten volunteers to serve on short-term mission teams in Albania, Tanzania and Uganda during the fall of 2014.

The Albania team, which will depart on September 17, will conduct spiritual retreats for clergy wives, women lay leaders and women’s groups.  The Tanzania team, which will depart on October 27, will offer theological training for the clergy of the Orthodox Metropolis of Mwanza, while the Uganda team, which also departs on October 27, will offer Christian stewardship workshops to clergy and lay persons in various communities.

“Are you able to serve on one of these teams?” asks OCMC’s Kenneth D. Kidd.  “If so, you are urgently needed! Without ten additional volunteers these teams may not go.”

Additional information and applications are available on OCMC’s web site at http://www.ocmc.org/about/open_teams.aspx or by contacting OCMC’s Teams Department at teams@ocmc.org or 877-463-6784.

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
