Today in the PC-USA Mission Yearbook

The Mission Yearbook for Prayer & Study is a daily devotional with 365 inspiring mission stories that come from next door and all across the globe. It inspires thousands of Presbyterians daily as they uphold the mission of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) in intercessory prayer. The stories for the 2011 Mission Yearbook were collected around General Assembly Mission theme “Grow Christ’s Church Deep and Wide” based on Matthew 28:18-20 and Mark 9:35. Each yearbook page bears witness to the abundant possibilities of the church because of the leadership of Christ.

Recently U.S. partners built 100 pews for the new churches of the presbytery. Many "highlanders'' hear the gospel through Radio Amauta. They responded in faith and built a place to worship with adobe walls, a thatched roof, and a tamped earth floor, but with only rocks and tree stumps for seats. The gift of pews has been a huge encouragement to them!
