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 in the 2012 Mission Yearbook were gathered around the prayer of Paul for the Colossians, that these faithful brothers and sisters would bear fruit and grow in the knowledge of God (1:10).

Today in the Mission Yearbook: March 13, 2012

PRESBYTERY OF ALASKA - The Tlingits chose well when they located the village of Kake on the north shore of Keku Strait. Salmon runs in the streams, clamming flats, a sheltered moorage, and Southern exposure capture the richness of southeast Alaska and the traditional lifestyle of its Native peoples. When evangelists came to Kake, the gospel was received with joy. Kake Memorial Church was founded in 1912 and nurtured a host of Tlingit teachers, evangelists, and pastors.

Once home to a thriving cannery and fishing fleet, Kake has seen many leave their traditional home to seek work, and the village is now half its former size. Elders continued to worship each Lord's Day, struggled to maintain their church, and prayed that God would sustain them and bless them with a pastor.
