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.

EGYPT - My husband and I serve with Christian Action in Orient, a mission agency of the French, Swiss, and Dutch Reformed churches, in collaboration with PC(USA). Here we work beside Egyptians to build the kingdom of God by living with and serving people in need. My husband teaches French in a school of the Synod of the Nile. I work with the synod in a Fowler orphanage, which houses almost eighty girls. A Catholic nun who heads this house teaches them that God loves them and that they have value in God's sight. To the girls, she is a parent, a role model, a director, and a spiritual mother.
