The Story of Peace for TodayAlso see Memories of Ken & It Was the Sixties. Your day goes better when you start it right . — Ken Haystead, Founder These favorite words of our founder simply express the philosophy of the week-day radio program Peace for Today - I5 minutes of bright, encouraging words guaranteed to get your day off to a good start. Kenneth Haystead was an articulate man, warm and perceptive, truly in touch with the times and able to give keen insights in coping with everyday problems, as well as psychological and spiritual concerns. He was a successful church leader for 40 years, but at age 59 made a dramatic life change, returned to school and earned a Master's Degree in Marriage, Family and Child Counseling and was about to finish his doctoral program for clinical psychology when he succumbed to cancer. Born in England in 1916, Kenneth Mark Haystead came to Sacramento, Calif., at age three and began his public ministry in his teens. He began Peace for Today daily broadcasts in Portland in 1964 as a hobby and later branched out to many large cities with daily programs. It was often said of him that he was "a man ahead of his time," and his forward-looking and direct approach to everyday living is just as applicable and practical today as in the past. It was in 1974 that Peace for Today was incorporated and received government approval as a qualified nonprofit organization. In April 1997, Peace for Today enlarged its outreach to include the World Wide Web. Long a local radio program, it now reaches people all over the world. Peace for Today gets close to its listeners as individuals, encourages them, and offers a more-fulfilling way to live. Peace for Today gives something that is spiritually positive, personally practical and immediately helpful to each person. For more than 40 years, through tax-deductible donations from listeners, Peace for Today has shared insights on living, built around the premise that life is the process of growing and becoming a fully-alive human being ... enjoying the experience in the here and now. It reinforces the belief that life is meant to be abundant and joyful. |

Mr. Haystead often said that he "grew up right in front of his listeners" as he shared life involvements, mid-life crisis, a late-life career change, and ultimately cancer. He was an inspirational role model in many ways and his hundreds of messages on tape live on, although he was taken from us in 1987.
