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.

Their sense of security has vanished, their trust in solid beliefs is shaken, and their dreams of a better future for themselves and their children are in question. The outcomes of the revolution have differed from what was expected, leaving moderate Egyptians with a sense of dissatisfaction.

For Egyptian Christians, who represent a large minority, these feelings are intensified.
