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 9, 2013
EQUATORIAL GUINEA - The Reformed Presbyterian Church of Equatorial Guinea (IRPGE) is the oldest partner for the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) in the Central Africa region. Our history goes back to 1850, when the early Presbyterian missionaries landed on the island of Corisco. The life of the IRPGE has not been an easy one. Spanish colonial authorities restricted the work of Protestant missions and favored that of Catholic missions. Later, under the independence government, the Protestant churches were persecuted. Today, while no longer facing persecution, the church sees itself marginalized by its small size and lack of access to the authorities of the country.
