I am really sorry to hear that the December version is not available for download. May God help so that RBC will give you the permission to carry on with this wonderful application.
This program has helped me walk with Christ. Before I found this program, I would always be lazy or too busy to even read the Bible. The program has helped me to solve this problem. Now, I will always read the Bible as my phone is always with me.
I have a suggestion. Usually, I would take my time to understand the scripture. However, the light of my mobile phone goes off and it interferes with my reading. I know its possible to keep the light of the mobile phone on for a longer period of time. Please try to implement this feature into this already marvelous application.
Regarding the comment by Nana Yaw, GHANA, there is a few ways of transferring the application by phone. By default, Nokia phones would not be able to send .jar files. From what i know, other brands like Sony Erricson should be able to send java applications. If it is not possible, the other way is to use a phone explorer program that allows sending. These applications usually would be able to find .jar files and send them. The last method is to use Samsung phones. From my experience, Samsung phones can explore other peoples’ phones through bluetooth. They can then retrieve the file and transmit it to others.
God bless

It cool, simple and we can eat “BREAD” day by day. THX
Thank you so much for your effort. I have been looking for such an application for a long time. Now the time spent waiting for the train will be put to a better use.
Thank you again.
Hi, just want to thank you for making Our Daily Bread available in mobile format. =) I’ve been on Daily Bread devotional book since its maiden issue. It’s only the past couple of months that I came across this mobile format. =)
I particularly enjoyed the option in the ODB mobile version wherein I got to send via SMS the quotation/verse of the day…but starting your August issue, the “option” to send sms is no longer available…I really hope you can put it back..‘cause the ODB quotes were inspiring the people whom I had sent via sms. Thanks and God bless! =)
This is great!!! Thanks so much. Keep up the good work. God bless.
Hey Thank you for this website. But lately because of improvements in site I’m unable to access the downloads from my mobile because the page became too large. It’s a lot easier from the web but my samsung D600 doesn’t allow me to install apps from the computer. Could you please make a seperate page for the downloads with no pics or for the month’s release only?
Thank you.
Note from Victor: There’s a download page formatted for mobile devices at http://www.fourteenfloor.com/mobile
Hi! am Tanzanian, am happy with this mobile stuff, (our daily bread) it helps me so much in my faith, also helps my friends by sending them sms. The problem is that , sometimes it come with no option for sending sms, like Our Daily Bread of this month, september. May almight God bless you all who work for this stuff!
I’m Indonesian. I was happy to have Our Daily Bread in Indonesian language (Santapan Harian) so that I could download it every month. I was really happy to have this because it’s really easy, and I could bring my “Santapan Harian” in my phone anywhere. But I’m really sorry, because I can’t find “Santapan Harian” to be downloaded anymore.
Note from Victor: The monthly Santapan Rohani will usually be available around the same time the monthly Our Daily Bread is made available.
I am not sure you can fully understand and or estimate how grateful I am for your kindness in making the .jar application file for August 2007 odb available. I was able to download it today and I feel most honoured. I know users world-wide would feel the same way I do. Thanks for the prompt response, and it’s my sincere prayer that your fountain of compassion and goodness shall never run dry but abound exceedingly till we meet Him face to face to part no more in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Hi
Great to see what you are doing with mobile stuff. We’ve just done a page on this topic at http://ied.gospelcom.net/mobile-outreach.php and would value any thoughts of ideas you have on this

It’s a real blessing having this kind of thing on your mobile and bless your friends for every day. It is several months now that I use this java prog while in the army and the word touch my heart and my friends heart especialy those days when we have a youth revival in Israel and God does works. Thank you so much!!
Simply fantastic. I am short of words. Thanks for this devotional as it meets my immediate needs everyday.
I’m Catholic but I’m using this program. It helps me with my prayer. Keep up the Good work.
I’m very fortunate to come across this site. Daily bread is a wonderful book. Thank you very much for making it into mobile format. Please do continue your work to make many devotional materials into mobile format.
I’m sure God’s message will spread quickly through Mobile Phone.
God Bless
Thanks once again.

Nice to have the bible verses in my mobile . I felt a strange feel of being secure. My regards to all those who contributed this.
i want to thank God for making it possible for me to get our daily bread again and i also want to use this opportunity to say thank you for yielding yourself to be used by God. God bless and reward you in aboundance. Please i want to be like Oliver Twist who ask for more, i want to ask if there is a way to get the french translation so i can reach out to some people here in Senegal. Senegal is a french country and islamic country at that so it is difficult for one to get spiritual books here. Thank you very much for the excellent work the Lord is using you do in my life and in other people’s life.
Thank God for this site. May God bless you all who making all these possible and everybody who check this site.
Now, I can read bible and devotion on my way to work (it takes 1.5 hours to my workplace).

I use to work in the middle east where Bible and other biblical materials are outlawed and until now I was wondering how I could bring with me some materials to read. I was delighted to see this site where I could download daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Surely, this is one good reason to rejoice having the kind of technology that we have nowadays.
thank you for creating daily bread for mobile, i have been wanting to get one because i am always on the go, i used to subscribe to ure monthly since 1983 when i moved i forgot to send my new address so they just stop coming, again thanks it has help me a lot. do you have a free version for palm os so i can give it to my dad who is using an old version palm for his bible and wants a guide for it.
Hi Victor,
Thanks so much for creating ODB in java format. It is something I always look out for every month now since I discovered your website last December.
With some fiddling around, I have discovered a way to transfer java applications between handphones. I’m using a Sony Ericsson Z520. Within File Manager, I have an empty folder labelled as “Other”. Instead of uploading the usual way, I do a file “drag and drop” from PC folder to “Other” (using any handphone explorer program). From this, I’m able to transfer the jar file without installing it straightaway. Once it is in “Other”, ODB can be easily transferred to another handphone via bluetooth. I hope this method works for the rest.
Victor, may God bless you abundantly for spreading the message! Keep up the good work!
Thank’s a lot. I’‘s really help me in reading Bible and trying to know more about what God’s want from me
I have been using our daily bread to feed my spirit daily since 1982, I carried a copy to the Moscow 1989. I continued to receive copies from RBC and later from other sources till I completed my med. education in 1996. Coming back to Moscow in 2004 for specialization I brought a copy, which I have been using repeatedly.
The desire to get a new edition preferably electronic was so strong on 31 Dec. so I started to search the net and after about a week I found your site, wow!
Look, I send sms daily to my wife and friends in Ghana and Moscow.
I thank God for giving you the vision to create this priceless site.Dear friend you are blessed! May our God grant you the grace to continue to meet the spiritual needs of brethren in Christ.
Best regards.

Hi Nana,
It’s great to hear from you and how the mobile devotions has been a blessing to you. This really encourages and motivates me to continue making this web site and the mobile devotions a blessings to more people.
As for sharing the application from one cell phone to another, there’s no protection added to the application to prevent it from being shared in any way. I think the prevention of sharing java applications is built into the cell phone itself. I guess the only way to share the java applications is still to download it from the website to a PC and transfer it to a cell phone or to use GPRS to download directly to the phone.
If anyone know of a way to transfer the java application from phone to phone, do drop a comment here to share on how it can done.
Thanks.
I have come to love ur site and all that is contained in here. I must say the site is the greatest thing that has happened to me this new year. I wake up with full level of invigoration as a result of what am able to digest into ma system each morning.
The sweetest part of the application is the convenience and portability of this software for fons. In our local languauge, we will say “why couldn’t somebody come out with this long ago”. As Xtians we say everything happens in His own right time.
What really happened was that I sent an SOS message on one of the sites when i was frustrated to get such software for fons, then someone i wld 4eva be grateful and full of praise from Philipines came to my aid.
First with the daily bread for Nov, 06. then for Dec, 06 then I said she shoulh help me get the web site so i wld be able to fetch the files myself as and when it is released and BINGO, 28th Dec, 06 I received the mail showing me the site or better still, “the SIGHT” and it had been a forward march for me ever since.
I managed to introduce few freinds to the site so they equally be blessed and received applause upon applause for the kind gesture.
Unfortunately, not so many people have the privilege of one, access to PC and two, if they do have PCs, access to the Internet or GPRS on fons for that matter is a big problem.
For me, my little help in overcoming this problem was to be able to share the application from my fon to other fons via IrDa or Bluetooth Connection or MMS but to my amazement all such file are rigidly protected to prevent such transmissions. My humble appeal is simple, that since we are moved by one objective and passion to spread the Word of God, you should take second look at this policy so that fon application files could easily be passed on for other users who are confronted by the above obstacles to benefit from.
Thank you so much and God richly bless you for this giant stride you’ve taken in the bid to spread the Gospel. Happy new year to you all.
For the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ and the furtherance of His Kingdom.
This is awesome, having my fragrant devotion straigth from my SE w810i, Pray God to bless thee richly, for this lovely free spread of the word… ODB thanks.
Can’t thank God enough for what you are doing for Him. Is the motorola V3 compatible for use with ODB?
i love the great work you are doing here and it works on all the platforms i use. God richly bless you for all you are doing. shalom
Thanks, you help me so much. I can go anywhere without forgetting where I put the daily bread.
Thanks for the December issue. Keep it free at simple. I gave ODB to my friends and they were all surprise about the application. One of the best we’ve had. Merry Christmas!
We like to start the Filipino Version.

Hi, I’m David from Indonesia.
Thank you for your good work.

Hi, thanks for the good work. May God Bless You! However, is it possible if the person who is doing this java application of Our Daily Bread, can help also to do the Our Daily Journey into java application? If it’s is possible, it will be cool as it may bless youth like me. Thank You once again!
Dear brother in the lord, thanx a million. It brings joy to my heart and tears to my eyes to consider this great selfless service of yours. God bless you as you continue to encourage the body of Christ.
Keep up the good work, bro! Helps me to be more diligent in reading God’s word during less busy times -now I have this on my phone. Is there a mailing-list? Cheers.
Hi Suresh,
Thanks for your encouraging comment. Sending selected verses and text by SMS is on the list of things to add to the application. At the moment, I have no idea how to do that yet. Will have to do some research on this.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi,
Friends in Christ,
Its really very good job by you all by enabling us to get Daily Bread direct to our mobile phones.
One point is, Is it possible to send a selected text or the whole single day devotion to other mobile phones by SMS, as it will be very useful for other people who dont know the Lord.
(Like KJV Go Bible, where we can send selected verse as SMS)
May God bless you abundantly.
Thanking You.
Suresh.
Hi Samuel, glad to hear that the mobile Our Daily Bread has been a blessing to your brother. Thanks for your suggestion to send out the mobile application by email monthly. There’s no plan to do that at the moment, but you can signup to be notified via email on changes to this website and when new editions of Our Daily Bread is available.
God bless,
Victor
I want to bless the name of the good Lord for your life.May God continue to bless you.
I downloaded the July edition of Our Daily Bread from GetJar for my brother’s phone and it has been a source of blessing to him.He now go around studying it everyday.
I will be grsateful if I can be getting the mobile edition in my e-mail everymonth.
Thank you.

I have been praying for a site for christian devotion, especially on cell phones, and here is it. Believe it, you are torching many people’s lives. More of this pls as I pray for more grace for you from the Lord.
I really appreciate what you are doing on this website. I have the Bible installed on my phone and I love to spend time reading it while in the bus or waiting somewhere since I always have my mobile phone with me. I am happy to be able to download Our Daily Bread. I have a question though. From the part of the world I am from, wap services are either not available or expensive. Will it be possible to send email alerts or notification to interested people for them to know when the next file for ODB is availabe for download? Thanks and God bless.
you are doing a great job!!! God bless you! Now I can do my daily devotion anywhere with my cellphone on my hand. I appreciate very much what you are doing for all
Christians around the world especially in countries where the Bible is forbiden. Thank you!
