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.

Today in the Mission Yearbook: June 6, 2014


MINUTE FOR MISSION: 1001 WORSHIPING COMMUNITIES - It has been my great joy and privilege to help lead the 1001 effort since this important initiative was launched by the 220th General Assembly in June 2012. The first year saw considerable fruit: by the end of July 2013, more than 160 new worshiping communities had been recognized. By April 2014, the number had reached 220.

The Presbyterian Mission Agency has put in place a new grant process, a debt-forgiveness program for students, internships for new shepherds, multiple training events, coaching, and regional centers to assist mid councils, congregations, and individuals with the initiative.
