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.

GUATEMALA (continued) - PC(USA) Young Adult Volunteers (YAVs) have come each fall to Guatemala to spend a year living with families, participating in the life of a local church, and working in different outreach programs. It’s delightful to see how their time in Guatemala is like a Sabbath year. Coming from US culture, which often celebrates “weekday” values of being useful and achieving as most important, YAVs grow tremendously by living into the importance that God puts on Sabbath values. YAVs stop the constant hurry in order to pay attention to life, take time for prayer, invest in relationships with people who are different from them, live in a just way that lets not only them but the whole creation rest and be renewed, and align what’s most important to them with what they spend most of their energy doing.
