The Gideons International is an association of Christian business and professional men and their wives dedicated to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ around the world. Founded in 1899, the ministry is best known for placing Bibles and New Testaments in hotels and motels, as well as distributing Scriptures in schools, hospitals, nursing homes, military bases, and prisons.

The mission of Gideons International is simple yet profound: to win men, women, boys, and girls to faith in Christ through the personal witnessing of its members and the distribution of God’s Word. Scriptures are provided free of charge and funded entirely through donations from churches and individuals. Over the decades, millions of Bibles and New Testaments have been placed in more than 200 countries, translated into numerous languages so that people can read God’s Word in their own heart language.

As a Mission of the Month, supporting Gideons International helps extend the reach of the Gospel far beyond our own community—placing the life-changing message of salvation into hands and hearts.

You can support Gideons International by placing your Mission Love Offering in the special envelopes found in the pew racks and on the ushers’ table.
