Today in the PC-USA Mission Yearbook

The Mission Yearbook for Prayer & 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. The stories for the 2011 Mission Yearbook were collected around General Assembly Mission theme “Grow Christ’s Church Deep and Wide” based on Matthew 28:18-20 and Mark 9:35. Each yearbook page bears witness to the abundant possibilities of the church because of the leadership of Christ. Today in the Mission Yearbook: December 17, 2011 PRESBYTERY OF SAN GABRIEL, CALIFORNIA - The Presbytery of San Gabriel affirmed its commitment to be a presence of resurrection hope in the world by adopting a presbytery-wide mission initiative. With Living Waters for the World as a focused mission effort, these Presbyterians are bringing together churches of different sizes, cultures, and theological understanding in a unified effort to bring clean water to places near and far. The first of these mission endeavors will be in Peru. They hope to establish sustainable partnerships with Peruvian churches so these relationships will bear fruit far beyond individual trips. As part of raising funds for this project, the presbytery held an auction that raised more than $3,500. This is just the beginning of what they believe will bring new life to their churches as they grow Christ's church deeper and wider. CLICK HERE to read more.
