The Berisso Project – Join the First OCMC Mission Team to Argentina!
October 7, 2005
The Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC), St. Augustine, FL – The
Orthodox Christian Mission Center together with the Greek Orthodox
Metropolitanate of Buenos Aires is coordinating “The Berisso Project”
which is in need of an international team of young Orthodox Christian
adults to repair the homes of elderly founders of the Orthodox Community
in the town of Berisso, Municipality of La Plata, Provincias de Buenos
Aires, Argentina. These elderly families lack the materials, the tools,
and the physical strength to repair their modest homes. The Project is
a Mission in Christian Service, given with respect for the individual
and with “filial” love.
This first OCMC Orthodox Mission Team to Argentina has been invited by
His Eminence Tarasios to the town of Berisso, Argentina. The 2006
Argentina Orthodox Mission Team will assist with construction, repairs
and partial restoration of five (5) dwellings outside of Buenos Aires.
Team members will work with a local team of Orthodox youth from
Argentina, and have the opportunity to share what it means to be an
Orthodox Christian. The Berisso Project will also help develop a sense
of voluntarism with the Orthodox youth while involving the community at
large as well.
Team members will be housed in homes of the local Orthodox community
members. Some Spanish or Greek fluency would be helpful, and only basic
construction skills are required.
