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. How often have you wondered, where are the young adults in the PC(USA)? Wonder no longer. The 2014 Presbyterian Mission Yearbook for Prayer and Study is devoted to the theme of young adults in the church. Its stories, many told by young adults, lift up how Presbyterians of all ages are engaging and joining with Presbyterian young adults in reforming the church for Christ’s mission.

PRESBYTERY OF THE NEW COVENANT, TEXAS - The Presbytery of New Covenant is living out what it means to be the connectional church by helping youth groups unite for mission. In the summer of 2013, a team of 75 youth and adults from 10 congregations ventured to Austin for two weeks of mission with the homeless, hungry, and impoverished. Two sister congregations in Austin opened their doors and hearts to the team by providing housing and mission connections.

The beauty of this joint mission is that, alone, each sending congregation may not have enough youth for a mission trip. By connecting these congregations, the presbytery offered young people the chance to engage in mission work beyond their home community, grow in their faith, and build relationships.
