Friends pray, give, and share, partnering with an Association that has placed God’s Word in more than 200 countries. You could be the reason a child, a prisoner or someone lying in a hospital bed encounters God’s Word, turns to Christ and finds the hope of salvation.
Why it matters
An estimated 30 million people worldwide die each year without ever hearing the Gospel message. There are still countries where people do not have access to God’s Word or are not allowed to own a Bible.
Friends of Gideons are faithful ministry partners with The Gideons International, committed to being part of the solution through prayer, financial support, and sharing the Gospel with others.
During the International Scripture Blitz in KwaZulu-Natal, The Gideons and Friends placed Scriptures faster than any week in our history, one hand at a time.
