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.

The year 2012 marked the 150th anniversary of the mass execution of 38 Dakota men—the largest mass hanging in U.S. history—for their part in the Dakota War of 1862.

Recently, Rev. Simon and Elder LaVonne Looking Elk, longtime leaders in the presbytery, recounted that history at the Presbyterian Women leaders’ installation service during PW’s U.S.A. Mission Experience among the presbytery’s congregations.
