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.

PRESBYTERY OF THE PALISADES, NEW JERSEY - In the fall of 2011, six Presbyterian churches in the Presbytery of the Palisades were approached with the idea of hosting a concert to raise money for Children of Uganda. This organization works with local nongovernmental organizations and community groups to address the needs of Uganda’s most vulnerable population—children. Uganda’s AIDS epidemic, extreme poverty, and decades of civil conflict have left its country with more than 2.4 million orphans.

One of the ways that Children of Uganda is raising money is through the talents of Ugandan children who tour around the United States in the Tour of Light. Combining dance, testimony, and music, these young people have been delighting audiences and impressing reviewers around the globe.
