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: November 2, 2013

SYRIA (continued) - The disciples are just back from a mission trip where they preached repentance, cast out demons, and anointed many sick people. Tired and excited, they were probably eager to enjoy some time alone with Jesus. Yet they were followed by a crowd, and frustration crept into their souls. Jesus expected more of them. It was as if he wanted to say, “Your job is not yet finished. As long as people are in need of food and guidance, you are on the job.” Sometimes, when tired, we think it unreasonable to be expected to do more; this is not the way of Jesus.

Today, more than 750 Reformed communities with millions of Christians are scattered worldwide, proclaiming in word and deed the good news of God’s irresistible grace and mercy through Jesus Christ.
