Changing Lives for more than 100 Years

The Gideons International started distributing the Word of God in 1908. Today, they have more than 300,000 members—and an untold number of supporters—in 200 countries, territories and possessions 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, they have placed or distributed more than 2 billion Bibles and New Testaments around the world . . . and counting.
