Since the beginning of Our Daily Bread Ministries, our goal has remained the same: to make the life-changing wisdom of the Bible understandable and accessible to all.

Today, we’re reinforcing this mission with a new tagline you will hear often: Bible Engagement for Life. We hope it helps you understand our unwavering commitment to Scripture and desire to connect people to God’s Word.

We know you share this belief and we also know we could never do all that we do without you.

Thank you for your prayers and support.

In 1938, the ministry started with a radio program called Detroit Bible Class. Since then, our audience has grown from a small group of dedicated radio listeners to millions of people around the world who use our Bible-based resources.

Over the years our name has changed to better reflect the variety of resources we offer. Today, we realize that most people recognize who we are by the well-loved devotional Our Daily Bread.  So we changed our name to Our Daily Bread Ministries to more clearly communicate who we are. Although our name has changed, our focus remains the same: reaching out to people all around the world with the message of God’s love.

We’re a non-denominational, non-profit charitable organization registered with Canada Revenue Agency.  Our staff staff and volunteers work out of our office in Windsor, Ontario, and we also are affiliated with over 37 Our Daily Bread offices around the world.  Globally, the ministry of Our Daily Bread distributes more than 60 million resources in 150 countries. Regardless of whether it’s a radio or television broadcast, DVD, podcast, book, mobile app, or website, we provide materials to help people grow in their relationship with God.

For more than 80 years, we’ve witnessed God’s faithfulness to the mission of Our Daily Bread Ministries. 

Starting in 1938, Canadians were served from the U.S. office in Grand Rapids, Michigan, but eventually it made sense to have an office in Canada, staffed by Canadians. Since September 23, 1981, that office has been through many changes. Originally situated in a 500-square-foot office overlooking the Detroit River in Windsor, Ontario, the office and staff grew quickly. By 1999, the Board of Directors determined that a piece of property in a new development should be purchased to build our own office, rather than paying rent each month.

It was a quick transaction. So quick, in fact, that the new building was being built even before the new road was in place! The office walls were going up as the road grader began levelling the ground where the road would be built.

As a result of His blessings, today, we are able to distribute over 2.5 million copies of Our Daily Bread throughout Canada each year.

We can only praise God that He has maintained the ministry in Canada for all of these years. And we appreciate you, your families, your friends, your churches, and your support that has allowed us to share the good news of God’s love, grace, and forgiveness all over the world.

At Our Daily Bread Ministries, we trust in God above all else. With each opportunity, we rely on His wisdom and strength to guide our ministry. The Bible is our foundation. We recognize the opportunity we’ve been given to share His Word and are committed to being faithful stewards of the resources entrusted to us. We believe . . .

• The Old and New Testament Scriptures are inspired by God, without error in the original manuscripts, fulfilled in Christ, and the revelation of our creation, fall, redemption, and restoration.
• In one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
• Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, the only begotten Son of God, and the perfect revelation of the Father.
• In Jesus’ virgin birth, sinless life, sacrificial death, bodily resurrection, ascension to the Father, and triumphant return.
• That, as a result of the fall, we are in need of salvation from sin and eternal death. God graciously provided this salvation through Jesus, who alone reconciles all who repent of their sin and put their faith in Him.
• It is by the Holy Spirit that we are convicted of sin and led, through repentance and new birth, into the family of God to live and grow in Christlikeness, in trust in God, and in love for others.
• In one church, expressed through local bodies of God’s family, made up of all who are in Christ, and who together are commissioned to make Christ-followers of all nations.
• In the return of our Lord to bring the fullness of His kingdom, to judge the living and the dead, and to restore the peace and joy of His creation.
• God’s sovereign rule extends over all in creation, judgement and redemption and His design for marriage is to be between one man and one woman. (Gen 2:21-24, John 1:1-3, 1 Timothy 4:1, Colossians 1:15-20)
