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.

MALAWI (continued) - oday Pulicila came over, as she often does, to play in my yard, and I saw that the tip of her left big toe had been badly torn. “Oooh!” I say. “Ouch!” She points over the fence. It happened somewhere over there, but that’s all I know. I look again at her toe. It doesn’t look like it would require stitches, but it’s close to that point. Certainly it would be helped by a butterfly closure. I ask, “Can I help?” and she nods.

Returning with my first-aid kit, I smear ointment in the wound and affix an adhesive bandage to hold the torn flap back in place, wrapping another around the toe to hold the first bandage in place, since she wears no shoes.
