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.

SYNOD OF THE SOUTHWEST - In an attempt to spur interest in the General Assembly, youth in grades 7–12 from the Synod of the Southwest were invited to travel to Pittsburgh in July 2012 for the synod’s first General Assembly Mission Experience (G.A.M.E.). The purpose was twofold: to introduce them to the workings of GA and to provide them with a hands-on mission experience. Participants spent time observing many plenary sessions and learned about the way legislation is proposed, presented, debated, and decided upon. They also spent several days engaged in the national Youth Works mission program in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Rev. Harold Armstrong, pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Hobbs, New Mexico, and several volunteer chaperones accompanied 25 youth on the adventure.
