We are committed to communicating positive, faith-filled principles for people everywhere to use in successful daily living. 2 3 A Message from Our Chair Dear Members of the Guideposts Family, Margaret Peale Everett The values of Guideposts reflect the importance of the legacies we all seek to leave to the next generation of our loved ones. Time and time again many of you have told us how you were introduced to Guideposts magazine by a beloved parent or grandparent, and saw it as such a precious gift that you have passed it along to your own children and grandchildren. Likewise, the act of passing on positive values, traditions, faith and inspiration has helped build the ministries of Guideposts. As an example of continuing to build our legacy, I am excited that my niece, Katie Allen Berlandi, has become part of the Guideposts Foundation team. Many of you have met her in person, over the telephone or through her written remembrances of her grandparents in the Positive Impact Newsletter. My parents passed their values on to us and helped influence our children by the lessons they taught of love, hard work, strong faith and their own living example. Guideposts ministries are strengthened as we who have benefited by its ministry of hope, inspiration and spiritual values pass these values on to the next generation. We have tried to do that with our children, and each of them believes in and is working toward carrying on the Guideposts tradition in their lives and work. From the bottom of our hearts the entire Peale family thanks you, our generous friends, for actively continuing my parents’ mission to improve people’s lives and make a difference in the world. I am grateful that with your support the work of Guideposts Outreach ensures that the legacy of my parents is carried forward, but more importantly ensures that the deepest needs of people are being met by our ministry. Sincerely, Margaret Peale Everett Chair, Guideposts Foundation 4 Strengthening Our Legacies 5 Dear Caring Friend: In the words of the Apostle Paul (Philippians 1:3 NLT): “Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God.” Thank you for being our partner in caring and service. Thanks! In the following pages we spotlight the many ways in which Guideposts Foundation is living out Brian Porter the faith-based positive philosophy of Dr. Norman Vincent Peale. Dr. Peale identified “four things for success: work and pray, think and believe.” In keeping with his advice, we work hard to identify needs and to meet them through our wide variety of ministries. We pray hard through the OurPrayer ministry, offering the comfort of personal prayer to every hurting soul who seeks spiritual support. We think constantly about how best to grow and focus our programs so that we can reach the most people and have the most positive impact on their lives. And above all, we believe: we believe in God’s word, in Christ’s example of service and love, and in Dr. Peale’s practical and timeless blueprint for a triumphant Christian life. We know from our conversations and correspondence with you that this formula for success is one you embrace, too. You work hard, you pray faithfully, you think deeply, and you believe strongly. We are so blessed that you share the fruits of your success with us, helping us to bring the timeless truths of Scripture and of Dr. Peale’s philosophy to heal today’s wounded world. Strength Of Giving 6 We hold you always in our most grateful prayers and as we are there for others we stand ready to serve you in the year ahead. Thank you and God bless you for all you do. Sincerely, rian Porter B President, Guideposts Foundation 7 Dear Friends: This past year more than ever we saw that, as Dr. Peale said, when we “pray big, think big, believe big,” indeed big things happen. I am so proud to let you know of our accomplishments that God has helped us achieve with your generous help. OurPrayer reached a milestone with over 844,000 prayer submissions for needs from financial issues, relationships, health concerns and more. And with each prayer request, prayed for by name and need, we are blessed Pablo R. Diaz to have our dedicated volunteers from 64 countries. With the ever-changing world of the internet, OurPrayer Facebook presence grew to 30,000 “likes,” and 145,000 prayers were submitted via the Facebook page. OurPrayer is available where we know people need us. The Guideposts for Kids Comfort Kit, in its fifth year, touched a record 23,500 sick and injured children who felt comfort from hugging the kit’s “Sparkle the Caring Star”— a simple but powerful gift of hope for a hurting child. One of my personal highlights was a visit with Retired Major General Chaplain G.T. Gunhus to Brooke Medical Center in Texas where our soldiers are being cared for and ministered to by chaplains as they recover from war injuries. I was reminded how crucial to their healing are the power of the Word and Dr. Peale’s timeless messages of hope found throughout our booklets and in Guideposts. Our publications help soldiers rebuild their inner strength and maintain a positive faithfilled outlook when their lives have been impacted by the harsh realities of war. Guideposts Complimentary Publications ministry distributed 3.9 million inspirational products through our partners who serve people in need whatever their circumstances may be. From VA medical centers, nursing homes, to hospitals and emergency relief centers, women’s shelters, and so many other outlets that have people in need of spiritual nourishment, Guideposts is meeting the need. All these publications, products and services were made available completely free of charge. We are grateful to God for blessing our efforts as we continue to work to extend the reach and strengthen the legacy of Guideposts Outreach. It’s because of you, with your kind heart, deep faith and generous spirit, that we are able to respond to big needs in a big way. Thank you for your commitment to do good through your support of Guideposts Outreach. May you and your loved ones reap God’s abundant blessings. Sincerely, 8 ev. Dr. Pablo R. Diaz R Vice President, Guideposts Ministries Strengthening Our Reach 9 Strengthening Our Legacy of Prayer: OurPrayer B y phone, by letter, online via our website as well as through Facebook, the prayer requests pour in. They are soul-stirring and often heartrending; from all over the world, at all times of the day and night, people confide their deepest spiritual needs in trust to OurPrayer. And we are there for them. Our compassionate Prayer Department staff, and the network of volunteers whom they have carefully trained, keep the OurPrayer promise to pray for every request by name and need. In addition to our annual Good Friday and Thanksgiving Days of Prayer, we have also held special online Days of Prayer throughout the year, rallying tremendous prayer power around such concerns as: Health, Our Military, Parents, Blessing of the Animals, Caregivers, and many more. Partner churches and ministry leaders join us to impact their communities through prayer. Free online newsletters help thousands keep their prayer lives strong and fresh; topics include: Bible Alive!; Daily Scripture & Reflection; Mornings with Jesus; Power of Prayer; Time for God; Your Weekly Inspiration; and 30-Day Prayer Programs. highlights: Total Prayer Requests received and prayed for: Over 844,000 Total number of volunteers: Over 3,300 in 64 countries 10 “Last week I sent in a prayer request for my husband who has been unemployed for over two years. God heard your prayers and answered them. My husband received an offer to start work this week! I am always in awe of His love for us. Thank you for interceding on behalf of my family.” -— A Grateful Wife 11 Strengthening Our Legacy of Faith: Complimentary Publications A n anxious wife in a hospital waiting room wanders over to a display of reading material and sees titles like A Prayer for Every Need, Amazing Promises, Thought Conditioners. Desperate for something to help her bear the uncertainty of waiting for the doctor’s report on her husband’s condition, she picks up Amazing Promises, opens it and reads page after page of uplifting scripture verses with comforting commentary by Dr. Peale. The booklet powerfully transmits the message of God’s promises, that we are not alone. By the time the doctor appears in the doorway, she is calmer and ready for whatever she will hear. In hospitals, in nursing homes, in shelters and prisons and churches and rescue missions — anywhere there are people in spiritual need, that’s where Guideposts Outreach aims to provide life-lifting publications free of charge. Last year we reached 3.9 million people with our complimentary booklets, magazines, desk calendars and other publications. When tornadoes ravaged the South and Midwest last year, Guideposts Outreach responded immediately offering our comforting and encouraging booklets. Adding to the portfolio of booklets this year was Amazing Promises. This booklet, filled with 31 wonderful Biblical promises chosen by Dr. Peale, is sure to produce amazing results in the lives of thousands served by Guideposts Outreach. We have been working hard to expand Dr. Peale’s message of positive faith to the youth of today. The Resiliency Playbook and The Epic You Playbook: Attitude is Everything were both released this year reaching over 22,000 young minds with positive lessons to overcome the pressures of adolescence and the challenges of daily life. 12 “We work with young women who are facing crisis pregnancies. Many of our clients are frightened, alone and without hope. Your ‘hope-filled’ publications have a positive effect on the women and their loved ones.” — Barbara “I found the booklet, ‘A Prayer for Every Need,’ in my daughter’s hospital room. I have been reading and re-reading it. The prayers say just what is in my heart and help me converse with my Lord.” — Mary “The Lord has worked wonders through ‘Thought Conditioners’ and Guideposts. I volunteer in nursing homes and hospitals and always bring the magazines for the residents/patients. The stories are very uplifting for people who have no visitors. These booklets make a big impact on lives.” — Juanita 13 Strengthening Our Legacy of Patriotism: Military Outreach “Your material gives our soldiers so much spiritual endurance and courage when they perform their military duties.” F rom the beginning, an important part of the Guideposts mission has been the support of those who sacrifice to preserve America’s freedom, and their families. Special military editions of our most popular booklets and Daily Guideposts focus the message of faith and empowerment on the unique needs of our men and women in uniform and those close to them. Christmas cards let our activeduty servicemen and women and our veterans know that they are loved and appreciated. Guideposts magazines provide uplifting hope-filled reading material, and prayer support is always available for military members and their families. Throughout his 28 years as an Army Chaplain, Ken Sampson used Guideposts Outreach booklets like The Power of Positive Thinking and Thought Conditioners to support his ministry to the diverse group of soldiers he served. “They hit an inner faith, so I could hand them to anyone of any religion, or no religion, and spark a spiritual energy they might never have known before,” he says. Chaplain Sampson wrote the content for our newest booklet, Resiliency. The aim of our Military Outreach program is to help our young defenders and warriors, and their families, to stay strong, positive and confident of God’s constant love and protection, and to express gratitude and offer encouragement to our veterans. 14 — Chaplain Charlie An (CPT) “With deployments happening so frequently, our soldiers struggle to keep themselves battle ready emotionally and spiritually. It’s great that we have organizations like Guideposts to support our soldiers.” — Chaplain Howard “I serve as a chaplain in the VA, and I am so appreciative of the publications that you send my way. They continue to brighten the day of our Veterans who are confined to our hospital centers.” — Chaplain Hershberger 15 Strengthening Our Legacy of Caring: The Comfort Kit Program I n the six years since the Comfort Kit Ministry was launched, this program has delivered Comfort Kits to more than 80,000 sick and hospitalized children in more than 250 hospitals. Medical and child life personnel, hospital chaplains, volunteer workers, parents and caretakers all praise the bright blue kits for bringing love, comfort, and just plain joy to kids in their time of greatest need. The gift of a Comfort Kit can calm a child so that needed tests and treatments can be administered, and often opens up a doorway to deeper communication with a caring adult. Children love the huggable softness of Sparkle the Caring Star, the bright yellow “I’m Special” bracelet, the journal for times of quiet creativity or reflection, a prayer card suitable for any faith, and much more. The Comfort Kit brings smiles and comfort to little ones strained by fear or pain, and inspire boundless gratitude on the part of parents and other loving caregivers. The demand for Comfort Kits is evergrowing, and Guideposts Outreach is committed to meeting it in the name of the One who said: “Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me” (Matthew 18:5 NLT). 16 “I truly feel these Comfort Kits light up the eyes of the children preparing for surgery or another invasive procedure. I gave away a Comfort Kit to a 3 year old who is to have surgery for the third time on his hip. He was so delighted! Thank you so much for the outstanding, God-loving work your program performs; it truly makes a difference.” — Jennifer Sylvester, Maryland “The Comfort Kit — my daughter loved it, and its contents helped distract her from her pain, it helped pass time. It brought a smile to her face when she was scared.” — Julia’s mom “One of life’s greatest gifts is to give happiness and good cheer to children when they are suffering and down.” — Emma’s mom 17 We would like to extend our deepest thanks to the following individuals for their extraordinary generosity.

(A specific program may be designated.) Charitable Gift Annuities: A Guideposts Charitable Gift Annuity is an excellent way to make a gift now, gain tax benefits, and receive payments for life.

Dr. Peale was one of the foremost motivational speakers and ministers of the 20th Century. He wrote 46 books, including the inspirational bestseller, The Power of Positive Thinking, first published in 1952. More than 20 million copies of this acclaimed book have been sold. Mrs. Peale led the ministries at the Peale Center for Christian Living, now merged with Guideposts, and served as Chairman of the Board of Guideposts. Exemplifying the Peale philosophy that Positive Thinking is faith in God and belief in oneself, Guideposts moves forward in its mission of helping people from all walks of life achieve their maximum personal and spiritual potential. A true legacy lives on in the words of Dr. Peale: “Do the best you can, trust the Lord, serve Him, walk with God, love people, do your duty, be honorable and upright, live right, think right, and you will live at peace with yourself.” 41 39 Old Ridgebury Road, Suite 2AB, Danbury, CT 06810 800-728-5653 www.GuidepostsFoundation.org
