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. The stories in the 2013 Mission Yearbook were gathered around the question of Jesus to his disciples, “How many loaves have you?” from Mark 6:38. The book is filled with stories of God’s abundance in the face of overwhelming needs and a scarcity of resources.

PRESBYTERY OF SOUTH LOUISIANA - Eight years after Hurricane Katrina devastated greater New Orleans, the people of that city are ever grateful for the outpouring of help from volunteers, congregations, and Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. While the city has improved year after year, there is still much to be done. Recovery and rebuilding efforts continue in the Presbytery of South Louisiana through Project Homecoming, a ministry that the presbytery began in the aftermath of the hurricane. In 2010 the presbytery incorporated Project Homecoming as a separate nonprofit and spun off the ministry in early 2012 in order to sustain the long-term recovery operations.
