Orthodox Christian Mission Center
For just $600 per year, your parish can make a huge difference in the lives of indigenous priests around the world!
Currently, around 50 parishes in the US and Canada have budgeted an annual commitment to the Support a Mission Priest (SAMP) program. Their support helps make it possible for priests to meet the needs of their communities in some of the poorest areas in the world.
One such parish is the All Saints Church in Chicago, IL. One of their parishioners, Hannah Stapleton, served on an OCMC short-term mission team to Kenya in 2016. At her urging, the parish began including the sponsorship of a SAMP priest from Kenya in their annual budget! Every year they continue to assist the same priest, Fr. Moses, greatly contributing to his ministry and making his work possible. That parish also gives a monthly donation to support Missionaries Nathan and Gabriela Hoppe in Albania – so they’re directly participating in the life of the Church worldwide!
Your parish can make a difference too! If you'd like to add a SAMP priest to your parish budget, please reach out to us by either e-mailing samp@ocmc.org or calling 1-877-463-6784 and asking for Markella Balasis, our SAMP Coordinator. If you’re interested in supporting a priest from a particular part of the world, feel free to mention that.
With each parish that supports a SAMP priest, we build another relationship with our Orthodox brothers and sisters around the world. Only by working together, can we share Christ’s love with the whole world and “make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19).
