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 DES MOINES, IOWA - In 1990 the Presbytery of Des Moines planted the seeds of what would become Our Sister Parish, a joint ecumenical mission in Berlin, El Salvador. The Salvadoran leaders of the mission work with a group of democratically elected grassroots leaders working to help their communities determine their resources and needs. Some communities decide that they need water tanks, a larger school, a seed bank, or another development project that will allow them to help themselves. These needs are then passed on to the Salvadoran leadership team or to US partner churches in order to make the projects a reality.
