PDC provides these translated resources for free via the website RickWarren.org.In 2023 PDC began digitally advertising the translated broadcasts, devotionals and other material around the world to reach people speaking those languages.Because of its efforts, Daily Hope received the 2016 Billy Graham Award for Excellence in Christian Communications from the National Religious Broadcasters in recognition of Daily Hope as a Christian organization that effectively and creatively uses multiple electronic media technologies in fulfillment of its mission, while maintaining fidelity to the message of love, redemption, and hope found in the Holy Scriptures.
