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.

A group of 15 members agreed not to miss a single worship service, for fear that no one else would come.

The arrival of Commissioned Ruling Elder Mark Kenning signaled a turnaround for the congregation, which now numbers 67 members. It began with a small act of faith: the congregation had to choose between a lower-cost roof replacement and a higher-cost 50-year metal roof. They chose the latter, trusting God that the church would continue well beyond their lifetimes.
