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.

Today in the Mission Yearbook: June 15, 2014

MINUTE FOR MISSION: MEN OF THE CHURCH - Genesis 1 tells us how God established the earth and gave humans, created in God’s image, dominion over the animals, birds, creatures of the sea, and the land itself to our care. This is no small mission, for without the food harvested, killed or caught, humans could not survive. As we go about honoring the command as described in Psalm 8 to care for the land and all living things, we are obeying the Lord’s wishes.

Paralleling this imperative to harvest our means of sustenance, we are also commanded in the Gospel of Matthew to go out and harvest people who do not yet know the Lord, and with the prayers of our congregations we are sent out to baptize and teach. This work is especially important when those taught are the young members of society in our own country and around the globe.

We encourage young people—both those in scouting programs and also fellow worshipers—through various services and activities. There will always be a place for the youth in the work of Presbyterian Men.
