Welcome! We are members of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Nacogdoches Texas and look forward to a great adventure in Romania! Accompanied by 5 other Presbyterians from Texas, we'll visit the children of Romania through NOROC, New Opportunities for Romanian Orphaned Children. Our group from Nacogdoches includes Dr. Sharon Templeman, Marty Taylor and Bobbie Ann Anderson.
This trip is sponsored by the Mission Committee of Westminster Presbyterian Church and our generous church members, NOROC and many friends. Without their incredible support, this trip would not be possible. We hope to share the love you have given us with the children of Romania.
