Our Daily Bread makes life-changing Biblical wisdom available to all

When Ashley entered basic training, she didn’t know how dark her world would become. Following a few rough weeks, Ashley became depressed, but a copy of Our Daily Bread gave her comfort and helped get her through.

“I read Our Daily Bread every night that I had a chance,” Ashley wrote. “Doing so calmed me tremendously and got me through. I wanted to let you know how comforting Our Daily Bread was during my dark time. I also wanted to thank you for offering it for free to everyone to share the wisdom of the Bible.”

From prison cells to dinner tables to hospital nightstands, Our Daily Bread’s daily devotionals are available in 58 languages and can be found in 150 countries across the globe. This free resource shares the good news of God’s love, grace, and forgiveness to every person who reads it. In just a few minutes each day, the inspiring, life-changing stories points people towards the heavenly Father and the wisdom and promises of His unchanging Word.

Our Daily Bread (CFC #45964) is one of the Combined Federal Campaign charities supported through donations pledged by Federal employees and military personnel. The CFC is the world’s largest and most successful annual workplace giving campaign. Last year, Federal employees contributed more than $93 million to thousands of local, national, and international causes in both funds and volunteer time.

Through their generosity in the CFC, federal and military personnel have helped find cures for children with cancer, supported injured military veterans and their families, provided meals and housing for those in need, and improved millions of lives, building stronger, healthier communities for all of us.
