How Do You Use Yours?
The Rev. Jim Brazell,
Member at Large, Cincinnati Presbytery, writes that when
he is in the pulpit he uses the Mission Yearbook
for intercessory prayers, demonstrating the connectional
nature of our church’s mission around the world,
for highlighting the work of the church in homelands of
members, and for linking birthdays and mission work.
Craig S. Reynolds of Scottsdale,
Arizona writes that since the 200th General Assembly (1988),
he has been using the Mission Yearbook as his
daily Bible study guide. He prays, reads the lectionary
passages, and writes a page in response to what he has
read. “This has been a blessing to me and has helped
me keep a daily focus on God that has strengthened my
life in the joy of living for God,” he adds.
