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.

MAUMEE VALLEY PRESBYTERY OF MICHIGAN AND OHIO - In John’s account of the feeding of the multitude, Jesus asks Philip, “Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?” Philip answered, “Six months’ wages would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little” (6:5b–7). In the life of the church, disciples sometimes cannot see how resources can be stretched to address the hungers of the world.

The 71 congregations in Maumee Valley Presbytery are located in rural, urban, and small-town settings, and range in size from 6 to 980 members. Nine are served by commissioned ruling elders. Teaching elders lead 33 congregations. All have more ministry than resources. All face challenges in meeting the spiritual and physical hungers of the day.
