The Gideons International has
just surpassed the two billion
mark in distributing
Bibles and New Testaments since the Association began doing so in 1908.
The distribution of the first one billion Bibles and New Testaments by Gideon members spanned 93 years
(1908 to 2001). This second billion was attained in less than 14 years (2002 to 2015).
“It is more than just a number,” said International President Dr. William E.G. Thomas. He added, “We are
placing Bibles because they save souls.
Behind every number is a face, behind every face a story, behind
every story a priceless soul that could live throughout eternity.”
To celebrate what God has accomplished through this ministry, The Gideons are scheduling representatives of
their membership to present a Two Billionth Commemorative Bible to as many of the leaders as possible in the countries in which they are organized.
The Gideons currently distribute over 80 million Scriptures annually, and the numbers are growing, especially in places like Brazil, India, and Asia.
Through the efforts of over 300,000 members in 200 countries, territories, and possessions, The Gideons share more than two Scriptures every second of every
day—in over 90 languages.
The Gideons continue to accelerate their world evangelistic efforts by providing Scriptures to many countries that cannot afford to purchase Bibles and
New Testaments on their own. Men, women, boys, and girls have come to Christ in considerable numbers after
receiving a Gideon-placed Scripture.
Testimonies The
Gideons regularly receive attest to what God is doing through the gift of His Word and can be found at www.gideons.org
