THAT ALL MAY KNOW
Larry Guido, President |
Sixty years ago
God planted a seed in the heart of Michael and
Audrey Guido. That single, simple seed was God
encouraging them to begin a radio ministry. But
how, that “seed” has grown. From a small
community in rural Georgia, God’s message of
love, hope and salvation is transmitted around
the world on the radio, over television, in print
and through the internet.
The initial “seed” was a radio program
entitled “Seeds From the Sower”. Now, there
are four different “seeds” aired on over 423
radio stations totaling more than 84,000
broadcasts annually.. The current programs now
include the one minute “A Seed From The Sower”,
a five minute and fifteen minute “Seeds From
the Sower” and “Sower Twenty Five”, a
twenty five minute broadcast.
After the radio ministry was established, God
encouraged The Guidos to begin a television
ministry. Entitled “A Seed From The Sower” it
is now viewed on 94 television stations at least
twenty-five times each month. This amounts to
nearly 25,000 “Seeds” annually. But that is
the beginning. There are also telecasts on
satellites, cable networks as well as the Armed
Forces Radio and Television Network that reach
our service members all over then world This
network alone uses ten satellites along with
digital compression networks to provide multiple
television and radio services to military
audiences in 176 countries and United States
territories and aboard all U. S. Navy ships. This
audience of military and military related
personnel take the message to over 800,000
members and their families assigned overseas
every day. |
It was a
hand-turned mimeograph machine that launched the
publishing ministry of the Association. Copies of the now
classic devotional booklet “Seeds From The Sower”,
the popular tri-fold monthly “Sowing and Reaping” and
the monthly sermon series are mailed to 33,000 addresses
each month. When totaled together, the print shop
produces over 1,500,000 pieces of literature each year.
Added to the print ministry, however, is the publication
“Seeds From The Sower” that is printed in 1,500
newspapers each week with a reading audience of 3,339,000
annually.
Another important ministry was launched in 2007: The
Michael Guido School of Evangelism and Ministry. The
School was established to provide a program of education
for individuals who want to develop effective skills to
enable them to become evangelists, pastors and leaders in
local churches. The classes are taught by pastors who are
respected and recognized for the significant
contributions they have made and can serve as models and
examples to the students who come from all walks of life.
Finally, there are the beautiful Guido Gardens. Here
visitors are refreshed as they enjoy cascading
waterfalls, shimmering streams, flowering plants, tall
trees, quiet paths and The Chapel In The Pines. It. has
become a well-known source of restoration for thousands
of visitors each year. People come to the Gardens for
peace and solitude where they discover an opportunity to
be quiet and reflect of the marvels of God’s creation.
In the month of December, however, the Gardens turn into
the Nights of Lights when nearly 50,000 people come from
all over the nation to view over 1,250.000 lights that
announce the birth of Christ. Every visitor leaves with a
Seed from the Sower and the true message of Christmas.
It is not possible to measure either in numbers reached
or lives changed magnitude of the impact of the Guido
Evangelistic Association. And it is all possible because
of the faithful Friends of The Sower who so graciously
support this ministry with their constant prayers and
gifts. Thank you for sharing with us in this world wide
ministry: That All May Know.
