Supported Ministries and Organizations
Hello everyone!
Below is a list of ministries that we here at ODB whole-heartedly support and recommend you to look at. We have also included a brief description of each ministry for your convenience. Have a blessed day!
~Andrew
GoodSearch is a search engine powered by Yahoo! that allows you to select a nonprofit organization of your choice and help raise money for that organization simply by searching the web. Once you add the GoodSearch toolbar and select your organization, every time you use the GoodSearch search engine, a small portion of the advertisement revenue that would normally go to Yahoo! is donated to your selected ministry. This small portion can really add up to something big! (If you aren't sure who to donate to, both ministries below have GoodSearch profiles.)
Setting Captives Free is an online web-ministry offering free, Christ-centered Bible Study courses to those in bondage to habitual sin (or, "addictions"). These courses teach how it is possible to find freedom from pornography, lust & sexual impurity, homosexuality, over-eating, drug and alcohol abuse, cutting & self-injury, smoking, gambling, and more. There are also courses in teenage purity, mens' and womens' studies, and Christian growth & discipleship.
The key to this ministries' success is their commitment to Biblical truth and the liberating power of Jesus Christ. What is unique about their approach is their "mentorship" program where people who have graduated the course and found freedom from their own personal areas of struggle are given the opportunity to "mentor" others going through the course by offering advice, prayer, and accountability through eMail. This is all done on a volunteer basis, ensuring that there is no cost for those seeking help from sin addictions.
Compassion International is a child sponsorship organization committed to releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name. Through Compassion, you can give a one-time donation, or sponsor a child for $38/month, ensuring that they have:

ODB Blog Grand Opening!
Hello there, everyone!
To those of you who have stumbled upon this blog, Our Daily Bread is a web-ministry created to provide uplifting, positive, and practically-applicable guidance from the Word of God. We have a strictly Christ-centered approach to spirituality (and indeed, life in general), and seek to glorify Him in all that we do.
Our messages are generally sent daily, or every other day, depending on the circumstances. They are sent through a mailing list, which you can sign up for by sending a blank eMail to the address "our_daily_bread@live.com" (after adding us to your approved contacts list, that is!). Otherwise, we plan to use this blog as a place to archive our messages, so feel free to have a look around once we get everything uploaded. We welcome questions, comments, or advice of any kind, and will honor any prayer requests that may come our way, so feel free to drop us a note or spark up a conversation at any time!
It is my hope and prayer that you will find this a warm and welcoming place to investigate this "Jesus" person we so often hear of, and to learn what a relationship with Him is really all about - and if you are already acquainted with Him on a personal level, that you would be encouraged to take the next step in your faith, delve a little deeper into His Word, and grow closer to the Living God of the Universe!

Who Are Those Writers of Our Daily Bread?
Greetings!
Daily bread messages are generally sent whenever Whitney has time to write them. They are sent through a mailing list, which you can sign up for by sending a blank eMail to the address "our_daily_bread@live.com" (after adding ODB to your approved contacts list, that is!). Otherwise, they plan to use this blog as a place to archive their messages, so feel free to have a look around once they get everything uploaded. They welcome questions, comments, or advice of any kind, so feel free to drop a note or spark up a conversation! Also, Whitney is an avid photographer--if you are looking for a photographer, or would just like to see her work, check out her own website via the 'Photography' tab.
If you read through each daily bread starting at the beginning, you will see a gradual growth. Indeed as Andrew and Whitney pen these daily breads, they hope that you will learn and be inspired from their words--just as they have inspired their own lives as well.
It is the hope and prayer of ODB that you will find this a warm and welcoming place to investigate God, Jesus, Christianity, and other ideas of philosophical merit. They hope that you may learn what a relationship with God is really all about - and if you are already acquainted with Him on a personal level, that you would be encouraged to take the next step in your faith, delve a little deeper into His love, and grow closer to Him, as He longs to with you.

To those of you who have stumbled upon this blog, Our Daily Bread is a web-ministry created to provide uplifting, positive, and practically-applicable guidance using bible verses, logic, and everyday life experiences. It is not the same as the Our Daily Bread of RBC ministries (only the name is the same), although we encourage you to check out their beautiful and God-centered writings as well. These particular daily breads are personally written by individuals who seek with their whole lives to glorify God in all that they do.
Andrew and Whitney are the writers and creators of this ministry. They began this ministry back in February of 2006. But they humble themselves with the knowledge that God has given them their talents and inspiration. He is in everything they do and are.
Whitney had the idea for this ministry, and Andrew actually saw it through. For years they have worked together in writing many daily breads. They hope that you dear readers have grown through them as much as they have. However, Andrew has recently left writing to pursue other callings, while Whitney has chosen to continue writing.
Both Andrew and Whitney were in high school when they began this ministry. Now both are in college, and pursue many things. They are constantly learning and growing through their daily lives and experiences. They hope that these things shine through in their writings. God is their foundation, as they hope He is with you.
Daily bread messages are generally sent whenever Whitney has time to write them. They are sent through a mailing list, which you can sign up for by sending a blank eMail to the address "our_daily_bread@live.com" (after adding ODB to your approved contacts list, that is!).
