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 3, 2013


MINUTE FOR MISSION: STEWARDSHIP COMMITMENT - Today’s Gospel story is about a man named Zacchaeus, a rich tax collector. I have found that many children learn about him through a song about “a wee little man who climbed up into a sycamore tree.” They may not recognize the strange name, but they don’t forget the tune and the story it tells. It is a great story about stewardship commitment, perhaps paralleling our story. It starts with an interest in seeing Jesus that may take some work to satisfy. Like Zacchaeus, we are overjoyed when Jesus recognizes us and invites us to be a part of his work.

THE 2014 PRESBYTERIAN MISSION YEARBOOK - Where are the young adults? How often have you wondered, where are the young adults in the PC(USA)? Wonder no longer. The 2014 Presbyterian Mission Yearbook for Prayer & Study is devoted to the theme of young adults in the church. Its stories, many told by young adults, lift up how Presbyterians of all ages are engaging and joining with Presbyterian young adults in reforming the church for Christ’s mission.
