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.

HUNGARY - Dencsháza is a village of 650 residents in the southern part of Hungary. In 2009 its school and children’s center (tanoda) was opened through the collaboration of the Reformed Church of Hungary Mission Centre, the village primary school and Reformed congregation, and the local government. The residents of Dencsháza have multiple disadvantages. Twenty-five percent of adults are active but unemployed, and 30 percent of the population declare themselves as Roma.

The school program supports Roma students aged 10–16 who live in and near Dencsháza. It offers after-school care and tutoring for children with learning difficulties. The school helps students gain healthy self-esteem and develop problem-solving skills.
