Background

The seeds of Growing Christians Ministries, Inc. were planted in 1971, when Dave Reid began to write devotional articles for a weekly Young Life newsletter in Cincinnati, Ohio. Two years later Dr. Dave, a research scientist and engineer, his wife Margie, and their three children (Catherine, David and Ron) moved to the Boston area where Dave began studies at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. In order to keep in touch with the teens from their Young Life group in Cincinnati, they decided to mail Dave's one-page devotional articles with some Reid family news on a second page.

Thus "Devotions for Growing Christians" was born, and continues today with the same basic format -- a one-page devotional essay on a wide variety of Scriptures and subjects, with real-life practical applications from the Bible passages. In September 1973, when Dave wrote the first "official issue" of "DFGC," it was mailed to about 100 teens, but the mailing list has now grown to over 5000 letters, mailed out 6 times a year to people of all ages around the world. The Reid family has grown, too. The three Reid children are married, and the family news page now includes grandchildren!
