276 Bibles or 1063 NT’s!
June 8, 2009
Recently, we at Waypoint Community Church had a representative from The Gideons International share with us their ongoing work in distributing Bibles worldwide. (We’ve hosted them every other year or so.)
The other day, I got a “thank you” letter from Mike (who came and shared with us the stories) and wanted to share some portions with you:
“On behalf of the local Yolo County Camp and the Gideons International,
we want to express our sincere thanks to your entire church congregation for their partnership with us. [...] The offering of $1382.00 is awesome evidence of the love your congregation has for the lost. [...] This offering will enable the Gideons to purchase and place 276 Bibles, or 1063 New Testaments, in the hands of the lost throughout the world.”
I’m so grateful that we were able to help out in this way!
Let’s pray that these Bibles will get to the hands of those who are searching for the Truth, the Way, and the Life,…and that they might ultimately find Jesus Christ!
