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.

Today in the Mission Yearbook: October 7, 2013


GERMANY - In 1980, East and West German churches, together with peace groups, introduced an Ecumenical Peace Decade. Starting annually on the third Sunday before Advent, it has become more and more an integral part of the ecclesiastical year.

The question of how to seek, witness, pray, and serve for peace is unfolded each year by choosing a common biblical theme that relates to the latest state of ecumenical discernment. General topics have included peace education, human rights, social justice, and the integrity of God’s creation. The specific issues of the root causes of war and the preconditions for peace have also been addressed.
