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).

The Roman Catholic Church here has long had overwhelming power, privilege, and wealth. In such an environment, it is difficult to be a Protestant, and it is a testimony to both God's faithfulness and the resilience of Portuguese Presbyterians that the IEPP even exists.
