Ms. Christina N Semon
MISSIONARY BIOGRAPHY
|
|
C hristina was born to pious Orthodox parents. While attending Binghamton University in New York, she played Division 1 softball. The aggressive training schedule removed her from the rich liturgical life of the Church, and she knew that changes needed to be made. As that door closed another opened, and Christina spent her junior year studying in St. Petersburg, Russia. She also began to read articles by students who had participated on short-term mission trips, which compelled her to contribute her labors to missions.
She is dedicating her experience and passion to assisting the efforts of the St. Dimitrie Program and Protection of the Theotokos Family Center. According to the UNICEF, over 9,000 children are abandoned in Romania each year. Alcoholism and substance abuse are increasingly pervasive; reported cases have doubled in the past 4 years.
Please offer your prayer and financial support on Christina's behalf so that she may serve the people of Romania. |
