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.

Both men underscored the poverty and simplicity of the early church. The community of faith that gathered around Valdesius survived centuries of persecution. The current constitution of the Italian Republic, approved by Parliament in 1947, granted the Waldensian Church freedom of worship. The Italian government did not sign into law the right to religious freedom for the Waldensian Church until 1984.
