From Detroit to Ukraine: casting bread on the waters

From Detroit to Ukraine: casting bread on the waters

From a daily thought recorded at a radio station in Detroit to a worldwide provider of Bible notes, Our Daily Bread Ministries has made great inroads over the past 80 years.

‘We have always been committed to making the word of God understandable and accessible to everyone, and this is still our spiritual foundation,’ said Steve Mitchell (pictured), chief executive officer of the ministry based in Carnforth, Lancashire.

Today more than 600 people in 35 countries create resources distributed to more than 150 countries around the world in 58 languages.

‘Our UK office was established in 1987 due to the increasing demand in Europe for English language-based Our Daily Bread bible reading notes and Discovery Series booklets,’ said Steve. ‘We’ll introduce CRE visitors to our notes and a selection of our other literature – all free to pick up at our stand or you can order them to be sent to you.

‘For those churches helping Ukrainian refugees at this very difficult time we’ll have a limited supply of Our Daily Bread resources in the Ukrainian language to help them as they face life in a new country.’

Yana, director of Our Daily Bread Ministries’ Ukraine, was forced to close the office in Kiev and flee her home along with millions of others.

‘It’s not a situation we can solve,’ she said. ‘People are so worried and stressed. We need the Lord to lead us.’
