Description
Witness to History: The Story of The Gideons International is an account of how the inspiration of two men more than 100 years ago grew, decade by decade, into the worldwide ministry that today provides upwards of 80 million copies of God's Word each year. The founders of The Gideons International realized that Christian men needed to be continually strengthened in their walk with the Lord, and that by standing together in faith they could accomplish great things for God's Kingdom. In the formative years, Gideons focused on who a man was before God and the strength and power of his personal testimony. Through associating together for service, Gideons challenge each other to strengthen their testimonies for Christ and fulfill their God-given responsibilities as spiritual leaders in their homes and churches.Together with the local Christ in some 200 countries, territories, and possessions of the world the unique ministry platform of The Gideons has seen over two billion copies of God's Word shared with the people of the world. However, members of the Association know it is not just about a book placed into the hands of a person, rather the words of that Book written on people's hearts that change lives.
