Today in the PC-USA Mission Yearbook

The Mission Yearbook for Prayer and 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).

TAIWAN - In the States, the main fruits we ate were bananas, apples, oranges, and the occasional berry or melon. In Taiwan, the options have increased exponentially. Here there are star fruit, mangoes, durian, dragons' eyes, pomelo, loquat, lychees, wax apples, Buddha's head, guava, kiwi, passion fruit, pomegranate, bitter melons, and more. Our toddler has a book with pictures of more than 60 fruits. We often get fruit as a gift, sometimes from students' home orchards or from co-workers' hometowns. When this campus was created, missionaries planted papaya, plantain, pomelo, wax apples, and cherries, and sometimes our communion wine for chapel is made from these cherries by an inventive worker on campus.
