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.

One such effort was a meeting of the Fellowship of Middle East Evangelical Churches—an association of Protestant churches in the region—in February 2012. Church leaders discussed the Arab Spring uprisings and the momentous changes they brought about as well as ongoing conflicts in parts of the Middle East, especially in Syria, Egypt, and Israel-Palestine.
