For several years, Our Daily Bread ministry has produced special editions of its devotional to be used by chaplains serving in the security forces in Brazil.
The military police, the civil police, the penitentiary police, the federal Police, the firefighters and other security forces already have personalised copies.
This November, the Ministry of Justice and Public Security signed a cooperation agreement with Our Daily Bread ministry. Since then, the devotional has become a key tool for the spirituality of the security forces in Brazil.
It has also made available to members of the security forces a digital application, chaplaincy courses, and lectures on a variety of topics such as suicide, stress, marriage, finances, relationships, ethics, and much more.
In order to reach out in a more personalised way to members of the security forces, Our Daily Bread asked for the help of almost 200 police and firefighters chaplains, who wrote the meditations for the annual edition used from now on in the copies distributed by the Ministry of Justice.
It is a really important open door to extend the kingdom of God, since, until now, no ministry had been able to do this kind of work, in such a wide way in Brazil.

These professionals are under constant risk and emotional stress, under a lot of pressure, and we know that the promise of the Lord Jesus, “Come to me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28), can change their lives.
God's Word transforms lives and hearts, it is wonderful to give devotionals to these military, police and firefighters .
Because of this, doors have been opened for more in-depth work in the areas of chaplaincy and psychological support, among others.
