ACRY Ambassador's 2014 Real Break Mission Trip To Romania
In keeping with the missionary spirit of the ACRY, Nathaniel Choma, a student at Kent State University, joined a team of Orthodox College Students on an Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF) sponsored Real Break short term missionary trip to Romania from March 22-29, 2014.
The student team traveled to Valea Plopului, a remote village about 70 miles north of Bucharest, Romania. This community takes care of about 220 orphans, handicapped children and children from families with financial hardships. The orphanage is a ministry of the Pro Vita Association, an Orthodox, non-profit, non-governmental organization.
