2008 Mission Yearbook

Amazing stories of your mission dollars at work

Your 2008 Mission Yearbook for Prayer and Study — with the theme, “Where two or more are gathered” — is a collection of hundreds of inspiring stories of God’s faithfulness, which is not limited by faith or numbers.

A place where dreams just may come true
The streets of Dhaka are teeming with children who have no home. Monir is one such child. His mother died when he was a toddler, and now, at eleven, he roams the streets with a sack slung over his shoulder and scavenges for paper scraps to sell for two cents a pound; at night he sleeps in a park.

At Jokhon/Tokhon, a ministry of PC(USA)’s partner church, the Church of Bangladesh, children are welcomed with a smile, and can wash up, hear a story, learn to read and write, receive medical care, play, and have a bite to eat. It’s a safe place where kids can just be kids.

Monir dreams of traveling and of one day running a little tea stall. With the efforts of the Church of Bangladesh, the dreams of children like Monir just may come true.
