Bibles distributed worldwide.
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 over 2 billion Scriptures. Follow us on that journey as The Gideons partner with churches anywhere, to reach the unreached everywhere. We appreciate your support.
The majority of Gideons live and serve in their local communities, making us very effective and efficient because . . .
The Gideons International started distributing the Word of God in 1908.
Today, we have more than 300,000 members—and an untold number of supporters—in more than 190 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. In fact, we have placed or distributed more than 2 billion Bibles and New Testaments around the world . . . and counting.
