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.

Centered in worship and using the conversation model of World Café, we spent time getting to know one another.

 

We examined, reflected on, and shared our understanding of leadership, the dynamics of our context, the challenges of our ministries, and how we imagine our legacy. We discovered that collectively we had more to offer each other than we realized.
