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 2013 Mission Yearbook were gathered around the question of Jesus to his disciples, “How many loaves have you?” from Mark 6:38. The book is filled with stories of God’s abundance in the face of overwhelming needs and a scarcity of resources.

GRACE PRESBYTERY, TEXAS - -2-3-4” and “Feed-the-child-ren” could be heard on Saturday afternoon at Senior High Youth Connection (SHYC), an annual conference held at the end of January at Austin College in Sherman, Texas. The chanting helped with timing in SHYC’s mission project. Working in three shifts, the 587 youth and adults were creating packets of rice casserole for six. The goal for the project was to create 40,000 meals, and they surpassed it with 50,976 meals. The package meal was created by Kids Against Hunger, an organization that works to feed children who are malnourished.
