Mission Statement
The Gideons International is an Association of Christian business and professional men and their wives dedicated to telling people about Jesus through sharing personally and by providing Bibles and New Testaments. While we are known worldwide for our work with hotels, we predominantly share Scriptures in schools and colleges, prisons and jails, hospitals, and medical offices. To date, we have placed 1.8 billion Scriptures and are on our way to 2 billion with your support. Follow us on that journey as The Gideons partner with churches anywhere, to the reach the unreached everywhere.
About This Cause
Distributing Bibles and New Testaments Around the World... Having God's Word can and does lead people to faith in Christ, and those new Christians then grow by studying their Scriptures and even use them to share their faith with others. For this reason, we focus on distributing complete Bibles, New Testaments, or portions thereof in the pathways of life. These copies of God's Word are printed in 100 languages and are either given directly to certain individuals or placed in selected public locations where large numbers of people, who may be searching for answers, will have the ability to encounter the Word of God. Distributing copies of God's Word also . . . Plants powerful seeds that God can use in His timing. (I Corinthians 3:6) Allows people to read the truth for themselves. (John 8:32) Provides a continuing witness when the Gideon is no longer present. (Hebrews 4:12) Makes it easier for the people we reach to, in turn, reach others with the truth about Jesus. (II Timothy 2:2) Makes it possible for new Christians to learn and grow through personal Bible study. (II Timothy 2:15) Bibles and New Testaments are personally distributed by members of The Gideons International to these groups: Students in the 5th grade and above Prisoners and police, fire, medical and military personnel Anyone else Gideons witness to individually God's Word is placed in key locations, including: Hotels and motels Hospitals, convalescent homes, medical offices and domestic violence shelters Prisons and jails. Changing Lives for more than 100 Years... The Gideons International started distributing the Word of God in 1908. Today, we have more than 300,000 members in more than 11,500 local groups—and an untold number of supporters—in nearly 200 countries across the globe. These dedicated individuals give their time and money to make it possible for others to learn about the love of God by giving them access to His Word. On average, more than two copies of God's Word are distributed per second. Over one million Bibles and New Testaments are distributed every 4.5 days. In fact, just last year 84 million copies of God's Word were distributed, bringing total distributions since a Gideon first placed a Bible in a hotel room to more than 1.8 billion Scriptures around the world . . . and counting. For every investment of $1.25 you can provide for the purchase and placement of a Scripture throughout the world. This includes all costs of getting a Scripture into the hands of someone who needs it. The Gideons International is an accredited member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA). In addition, ministrywatch.com has listed The Gideons International as a shining light "Top 30" exemplary ministry in terms of transparency, truth, claims, values and counsel.
