The Ambassador Program of the OCMC seeks to encourage others to answer the call to Missions. As Holy Cross Church's Ambassador, Kathleen Atkins maintains a bulletin board in the church hall providing updated information of the missionary work taking place throughout the world.

Please Pray for OCMC Missionary Katie Wilcoxson
We request your prayers for OCMC Missionary Katie
Wilcoxson, serving in Tanzania. After hours of severe pain her
missionary colleagues took her to hospital (Dar es Salaam). The CAT
Scan diagnosed appendicitis and they quickly prepared her for surgery
which began around 4:45 AM and concluded around 6:30 AM (US
time—Tanzania is 7 hrs. ahead of US Eastern Time). She is now in
recovery. Her missionary “family” in Dar es Salaam include Felice
Stewart (also a nurse) and Michael Pagedas (public health care admin.)
and others who are caring for her. His Eminence, DIMITRIOS, (Met. of
Irinoupolis) is at the hospital with her even as I write making sure
she is well cared for.
Thank you for joining with us in prayer for Katie
and for all who are caring for her. Remember her parents, Fr. Aidan and
Khouria Cynthia and all at Katie’s home parish, St. John the Forerunner
Orthodox Church (Cedar Park , TX), who have kept vigil with the
Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC) and her fellow-missionaries
praying for Katie and providing love and support.
