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.
Today in the Mission Yearbook: April 26, 2013
MALAWI (continued) - Malawi has not escaped these challenging times! Life is being extinguished daily due to an ongoing shortage of fuel. Businesses have nearly come to a standstill, and the sick are unable to reach the nearest clinic in time to save lives. The national currency continues to plummet in value, and the cost of basic commodities increases beyond the reach of most people. Corruption is everywhere. The government rules with an iron fist, through the violent suppression of human rights. The U.S., U.K., and other nations have responded with sanctions, cutting off economic aid that accounts for 40 percent of the nation’s budget.
