Gideons International is a global ministry of professional and business men dedicated to sharing the Gospel by distributing Bibles and New Testaments worldwide. Founded in 1899 by three Christian salesmen, the organization focuses on placing scriptures in strategic locations like hotels, hospitals, schools, and military bases. Working exclusively with evangelical churches, Gideons aim to witness for Christ by providing free testaments and supporting local congregations. Their mission is to spread God's word, with members personally committed to sharing their faith and supporting global scripture distribution efforts.
