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.

Today in the Mission Yearbook: April 22, 2013


MINUTE FOR MISSION: EARTH DAY - We declare that God created the earth and all in it and called it good (Gen. 1). We confess that God sent Christ to save the whole cosmos (John 3:16–17). Along with the psalmist, we sing of all creatures looking to God to provide food and satisfy desire (Ps. 145). Evidence of the love of God for God’s creation and of our human vocation to care for this creation is visible throughout Scripture. It likewise shows up in our hymns, The Book of Confessions, our Directory for Worship, and our celebration of the sacraments.
