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.

PRESBYTERY OF SOUTH LOUISIANA - s a young adult myself, I am truly encouraged by the energy and support that the Presbytery of South Louisiana is putting into young adults through the YAV program, which transforms not only the young adults but the entire church. The presbytery has experienced renewal and change through the lives of young adults who have made the radical decision to come to south Louisiana to join God’s mission in the world. Many YAVs who came here for one year of service have decided that one year is not enough and now work throughout the region in many different capacities serving our church.

The decision to become a YAV is not an easy one—you fundraise, you live below the poverty level, you live with people you don’t know. You take a lot of risk becoming a YAV!
