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 8, 2013
ARABIAN PENINSULA - Taken together, the seven nations of the Arabian Peninsula—Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen—have an importance for world peace and prosperity that far outweighs their population (which is about 85,000,000) or their combined gross national products (about $1.2 trillion, which is about two-thirds that of the state of California).
Except for Oman, where the majority of the population are Ibadhi Muslims, and Bahrain, where 85 percent of the population is Shi’a Muslim, the great majority of the indigenous inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula are Sunni Muslims. Egyptian, Syrian, Palestinian, and Lebanese Christians, many of whom are medical doctors or teachers, live in every country on the peninsula. A large number of South Asians, Europeans, and North Americans also live and work in the seven countries of the Arabian Peninsula.
