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. How often have you wondered, where are the young adults in the PC(USA)? Wonder no longer. The 2014 Presbyterian Mission Yearbook for Prayer and 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.

CHILE - Sowing hope. This was the vision that brought together 200 young people in January 2013 for the sixth International Congress of Young Environmentalists (CIJA). As we gathered in Peru, I saw young people radiate hope for a just and peaceful future. Rooted in their common faith in Jesus, youth from Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Canada, and the United States shared their hope for a better world.

Participants emphasized that the ecological disasters that plague our planet are rooted in a model of development that promotes unlimited consumption and divides the world into a very few haves and a vast multitude of have-nots.
