Guidelines devotionals present the gospel in a uniquely effective way for the new believer, the unreached listener, or a listener living under persecution. Guidelines content is:
• 2-5 Minutes: Short, simple, practical and biblical
• Translated into the “Heart Language” of the Listener: the language the listener first learned from his or her mother.
• Contextualized: The devotionals sound natural
to the listener; illustrations are unique to where the listener lives and highly understandable. Guidelines has been engaged in transforming lives with the message of Jesus since 1963, when Dr. Harold Sala first began broadcasting Guidelines for Living, a daily five-minute devotional which was the first radio program of its kind. Now 57 years later, Guidelines International Ministries is in its second generation, broadcasting on a global scale, led by Bonnie Sala, Harold and Darlene Sala’s daughter. Through the support of missional Christ-followers, Guidelines has:
• Created and produced over 14,000 biblical, inspirational audio and video messages that are broadcast by radio networks and internet partners in the U.S. and around the world.
• Expanded distribution of audio and videos on social media, email and podcast subscription and made them available on seven global online streaming platforms.
• Translated the life-giving devotionals into 20 languages that are spoken by over 3.6 billion people.
• Partnered to establish five community radio stations in countries where the gospel is inaccessible to most people and distributed hundreds of solar powered radios/audio Bibles to those who could not afford them.
