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: May 13, 2013
PRESBYTERY OF MIAMI VALLEY, OHIO - Each person is precious in God’s sight, yet without proper identification many men, women, and children find themselves without access to food, housing, employment, and education. Beginning in 2009, Westminster Presbyterian Church in downtown Dayton began getting requests for help in obtaining state identification cards and birth certificates. Twenty-two dollars for a certified copy of a birth certificate and $8.50 for a state-issued photo identification card seemed like a small price to pay to help provide neighbors in need with these vital keys to employment, education, and social services. Thus began the ID ministry.
