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.

Today in the Mission Yearbook: April 8, 2014

WASHINGTON PRESBYTERY OF PENNSYLVANIA - Washington Presbytery, encompassing two counties in southwest Pennsylvania, celebrates a third decade of partnership with Christian congregations of Southwest Bethel Synod (SWBS), Ethiopia. Ideas, resources, relationships, and especially prayer support have flowed between the two judicatories since 1991 and today continue to bear fruit—literally.

Several reciprocal visits occurred across the partnership years. Elders from Washington Presbytery’s 62 congregations traveled to Ethiopia’s southwest provinces to renew the partnership covenant; confer about available aid and financial assistance; see the hand of God working in education, agriculture, medical care, and economic development; and better understand the challenges faced by Ethiopian sisters and brothers. Likewise, several SWBS leaders have come to Pennsylvania to deliver firsthand accounts of the Holy Spirit’s work in gathering new believers and growing churches throughout the southwest provinces. The partnership’s long history fosters deep benefits and many blessings for Christians in both places.
