Join Us in Irvine to Support OCMC's Life-changing Work

On Saturday, September 30, 2023, St. Paul’s Greek Orthodox Church in Irvine, CA is hosting a benefit dinner to support the work of OCMC. Our hope is that people from all the Orthodox parishes in the area will attend.

It is our honor to have St. Paul’s host this event since they have been such a long-standing partner with OCMC. Through such collaboration OCMC brings people to Christ and shares a tangible expression of Christ’s love to “all the nations.”

We are blessed that a former OCMC missionary, Anastasia Barksdale, now serving as Parish Engagement Coordinator, will tell her story and introduce the most recent OCMC video so you may see for yourself the life-changing work that you support. It will also be my honor to share some of the latest developments and stories of how OCMC is working around the world today, especially in the Turkana region of Kenya where we are collaborating to reach people who have never heard the Gospel before.

Since its inception, thirty-eight years ago, OCMC has helped establish the Church in 52 countries around the world, bringing people to Christ and sharing His love through our missionaries, team members, support of local clergy, and millions of dollars in grants and projects.

We invite you to become an integral part of this event by attending and/or becoming a sponsor of the event. You can register and make your sponsorship pledge online at www.ocmc.org/Irvine-Dinner.

With love in Christ,

Rev. Protopresbyter Martin Ritsi
OCMC Executive Director
