• Our Romanian Mission...NOROC.   NOROC is a program started by Dr. Fred White and his wife Carolyn of FCPC. Seeing the need in the orphanages of Romania for loving, human contact with the babies, they started a simple program where Romanian grandparents are paid a small amount to come to the orphanages and hold and play with the children. With a minimum of investment the payback from NOROC in the children's improved development has already been enormous.   See pictures and read the latest information from Mary Ferris, our FCPC missionary in Romania here.
