Presbyterian World Mission
Presbyterian World Mission has entered the second decade of the 21st century with a renewed vision for faithful and effective mission. It's a vision inspired by the Holy Spirit and developed in collaboration with people across our church and partners around the world.
Three critical global issues are its core:
- addressing poverty's root causes
- bearing witness to the Good News
- engaging in reconciliation amid cultures of violence.
Pray for the people who carry out the ministry of Presbyterian World Mission and for those they serve in God's name.
