Sadly, as the founder of the PresbyCan Daily Devotional, it has become clear that God is leading me to step back from my responsibilities. Though I have sought and prayed for someone to take up the vision of PresbyCan, God has not yet sent along that someone. This is to let you know that we will cease publishing new or revisited devotionals on March 31st, and the daily emails will stop. I’m sure that this will be a great disappointment to many, which I deeply regret.
As you can imagine, this has been an incredibly difficult decision, for the Daily has been my constant companion for close to 29 years. I have poured my heart and soul into this undertaking, so stepping down is a really big deal for me.
What has led me to this decision? As I approach my 80th birthday later this month, I am finding that my daily activities and chores, together with my wife’s health concerns, are taking longer and longer. It’s just time!
What will the presbycan.ca website look like after we cease publishing new material? Beginning on April 1, each new day, the home page will show excerpts with links to devotionals published on that day of all available preceding years, arranged in random order. When it’s a special day like Palm Sunday, the website will show all the Palm Sunday devotionals. Make sure you set a bookmark or add a PresbyCan icon to your smartphone home screen. With more than 10,400 devotionals that we have published since 1996, you are sure to find something new there every day to help you on your way. All our devotionals will remain available to visitors through search engines such as Google. Surprisingly, the webpage that is most often visited is not the home page but PrayerLine, with 350 views each day. This feature will continue.
Over the years, our devotional website has undergone numerous changes in format, with new features introduced along the way, all the while attempting to keep up with changing technologies. The enterprise would not have been possible without the continued faithful volunteer labours of our staff team – Jane Anne Waller, James T. Hurd, Mary Jane Hanson, Sharon Cook, Garnet Schenck, George Myers, and Terry Folster – who have all worked diligently behind the scenes to ensure that God’s Word has been shared daily with our thousands of e-mail subscribers. I would also especially like to thank our dedicated writers – 545 of them since the beginning – without whom there would have been no devotional at all!
Thank you for your support over the years. May God bless and keep us all!

Although PresbyCan doesn't have a mobile app, you can still have a PresbyCan icon on your mobile phone home screen. 
Monday, March 17, 2025 – In Asia — Way up in the hills are about 70,000 villagers of a particular people group. Many have already heard the gospel, and believed. A team of local Christians, have developed an audio-driven overview of the Bible to help the new, untrained believing locals to understand the gospel more clearly and give them resources to share with villagers who have not yet heard. Pray for God to bring a revival to this people group and to deepen their relationships with God.
