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.

Furniture and appliances were moved from homes in danger, while lodging was provided for those directly affected and for volunteers who came to town to assist. Oahe Presbyterian Church in Pierre hosted and fed volunteers. Funds and buckets full of cleaning supplies poured in from around the presbytery.
