Follow Nicholas Savas and the Misssionary Team who went to Kenya at ocmc.org
OCMC is thrilled to have sent our first Mission Team of 2013 to Kenya this past weekend. Team members traveled to the Makarios III Patriarchal Seminary in Nairobi before traveling to Lodwar where they will be serving for the next week. They are helping plant the seeds of Christianity to those who have begun to respond to the Gospel in the Turkana tribe. Evangelism and teaching are taking place in rural areas outside of Lodwa
At the time of the team's arrival, there was an election being held in Kenya for the presidency. Millions of Kenyans are voting in the first elections since 2007, when polls were marred by violence. There have been sporadic reports of violence in Mombassa, which is far from where the team is serving. Despite the violence, the Kenyan people are peacefully standing in lines to vote today. Please keep the team in your prayers as they serve, bringing the message of Christ's love to the Kenyan people in the midst of the political situation around them.

MESSAGE FROM FATHER GEORGE
There
is nothing formal about a church. A simple smile or handshake
communicates friendly regard. Our church places great emphasis on
welcoming each other. We hope you have a chance to worship with us or
join us in fellowship. Ministries are provided to offer a real service
and Diakonia. As a south Florida parish we are in tune to many snow bird
visitors, we enjoy having them around and actually focus attention to
their needs.
Thanks for visiting our web site now make a note to be with
us in person. Looking forward to seeing you we remain faithful in the light of
our Lord, and we offer prayers and doxology to his holy name!
Fr George P Savas
Protopresbyter
