Christmas Gifts That Make A Difference - Gideons International

 

My first dorm director at college had this strange story about a time he found a Bible in an old house. He had been house sitting for a wealthy friend of his who was away in Europe on an extended vacation. He was an addict and an alcoholic and had drank everything they had and taken every pill he could find.

He was broke, didn't know where to buy drugs, and was desperate for a fix. As he shuffled through a bedside table, be found a book. It was a Gideon's Bible. Apparently, the owners had stolen it from a hotel.  Well, he threw it on the ground and kept digging for drugs.  Hours later, something drew him to the book. He picked it up, read the Gospel, and gave his life to Jesus Christ. He no longer needed drugs.

Testimonies like that are numerous because for years Gideons International has been putting copies of the Scripture all over the world.  They do this by donation, alot of it by their own hands.

Our church is filled with Gideons. They are some of the most faithful men I know, and I have come to respect this ministry because of these men. And, your really can't print a Bible any cheaper than they can or get it around the world any better than they can. While they receive donations, they pay their own way.

The money goes for Bibles, not for them.  try because of these men. I see them give sacrificially to our church, to other ministries, and to the Gideons ministry. You really can't print a Bible much cheaper than these men and women can, and  you can't get it around the world much better than they do.  And, they do all of this on their own penny.

You could spend $25 for a gift card for your Sunday School teacher, or you could give $25 to Gideons to buy 5 Bibles in their honor. I teach Sunday School. I'd much rather you give the money to Gideons.
