THE GIDEONS INTERNATIONAL
(Disciples of all nations - December 3, 2023)
Series Big Idea: "The Gideons International"
Sermon Big Idea: “The Gideons are a body of believers dedicated to making the Word of God available to everyone and, together with the local church, reaching souls for Christ"
Key Scripture (Matthew 28:19)
The Gideons International is an Association of Christian business and professional men and their wives dedicated to telling people about Jesus through associating together for service, sharing personal testimony, and by providing Bibles and New Testaments. While we are often recognized for our work with hotels, we also place and distribute Scriptures in strategic locations so they are available to those who want them, as well as to those who may not know they need them.
One Spirit, One Mind, One Vision
Striving Side by Side for the Faith of the Gospel
We are God-called members, brothers, and sisters in Christ, husbands along with our wives—striving side by side to effectively and joyfully reach the world with the Good News.
One Vision means working in one spirit and one mind with these three groups:
• Christian business and professional men
• Our wives, as a testimony to the Biblical institution of marriage
• Protestant, evangelical churches and assemblies as partners in the Great Commission
Conclusion:
The Gideons International began distributing the Word of God in 1908. Today, there are more than 269,500 Gideons and Auxiliary – and an untold number of supporters – in some 200 countries, territories, and possessions across the globe. These dedicated individuals have given their time and money to make it possible for others to learn about the love of God by giving them access to His Word. We have placed and distributed more than 2 billion Bibles and New Testaments around the world.
