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 SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY, NEW YORK - During the last week of August 2011, Hurricane Irene made landfall and traveled through the eastern edge of New York State. Record rainfall and high winds produced widespread flooding of the Delaware River and power outages in several communities. Area congregation members joined other locals and denominational and governmental agencies as first responders in assisting their displaced neighbors. Food and clothing were donated at such levels that it seemed no one went without.
But that was only a prelude to Hurricane Lee, whose swath of destruction included the western half of Susquehanna Valley Presbytery.
