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.

Dave and his Kenyan friend
Joseph get washed up!

MINUTE FOR MISSION: THE OUTREACH FOUNDATION - When his Charlottesville, Virginia, congregation initiated a prayer-partner program with Tumaini Children’s Center in Nyeri, Kenya, Dave was partnered with Joseph, a 15-year-old boy living at the center.

While other congregation members regularly received letters from their student partners, Dave received only one short letter from Joseph. Dave was disappointed that Joseph didn’t write more often.

Through The Outreach Foundation, Dave’s congregation, Meadows Presbyterian, organized a mission trip to Nyeri to visit Tumaini and meet the children. Dave decided to go on the trip, hoping to meet JosepH.
