Our Daily Bread Ministries in Canada

In 1938, Dr. M. R. DeHaan started a small radio program in Detroit, Michigan, USA called Detroit Bible Class. With his gravelly voice, Dr. M. R. DeHaan quickly captured the attention of listeners in the Detroit area, and across the border into Canada. Since then, the work in Canada has grown steadily from the radio program to Our Daily Bread, the Discovery Series booklets, Day of Discovery television, and now the internet.

The Canadian ministry operates from our office in Windsor, Ontario; where we also handle French translations, as well as requests for Chinese and Spanish literature.

“Many, LORD my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare.” Psalm 40:5
