Our History.
Forward Movement – Our HistoryShare your story with us.
For 90 years, Forward Movement has been supporting followers of Jesus in their daily walk with Christ. Are you one of those ordinary Christians who has joined us on the journey? What has Forward Movement meant to you as you grow as a disciple of Jesus?
We want to hear your story! Help us celebrate our 90-year anniversary by sharing your stories and pictures of Forward Movement through the years.
Is your church a “Forward Day by Day Church?”
We’re encouraging church leaders to share the celebration with your congregation and ask that they share their personal stories of how Forward Movement, specifically Forward Day by Day, has impacted their faith journey! To help, here is a brief script for your bulletin, website, or to share during Sunday announcements:
“For 90 years, Forward Day by Day has connected people to the divine story of God’s grace and love. This narrative thread of scripture winds its way through our Forward Movement community, whether we’re reading the reflections over breakfast or in a Bible study, on the app on our phone, as a podcast during the morning commute, or in hospitals, nursing homes, and prisons, where readers receive the gift of donated copies. We are bound by reading and reflecting on the same sacred story—and by hearing from authors willing to be vulnerable, to share their struggles and losses as well as moments of services and glimpses of the joys of following Jesus. These stories—our own human ones and the stories of scripture—shape and form us as disciples, as people of The Way. We are a Forward Movement church, and we want to hear your stories about how Forward Day by Day has helped you along your spiritual journey. Visit forwardmovement.org/90years to share your stories!“
Support Our Ministry.
For the past 90 years, Forward Day by Day has drawn disciples nearer to Christ- including friends who write to us from prisons, hospitals, military bases, assisted living centers, and countless other places of need. Many of these requests conclude with a question like, “I cannot afford to pay for anything right now and wonder if you can help?” Thanks to our donor community, Forward Movement always responds, “Yes!”
We invite you to celebrate the past 90 years with a special birthday donation of $90 but are grateful for gifts of any amount. Your support sent more than 75,000 free copies of Forward Day by Day to friends just last year!
Your tax-deductible gift also powers a wide variety of Forward Movement’s ministry resources, from RenewalWorks to The Good Book Club and seasonal offerings like AdventWord and Lent Madness.
Thank you for supporting our ministry to inspire disciples and empower evangelists!
