Publication change
Beginning in 2016, the 120-year-old print publication, The Presbyterian Mission Yearbook for Prayer and Study will transform to a free, online-only resource. By offering this as a free resource through their website, the Yearbook will broaden its reach, share inspiring content in a timelier manner, and demonstrate better stewardship. The Presbyterian Mission Yearbook for Prayer and Study will live on, telling the stories of lives transformed through God's eternal grace and extraordinary love.
