Have Spare Money? Donate it to Gideons

Well, the other day after Arroyo's latest 1 million peso dinner scandal, I posted a blog titled, "What can you buy with 1 million pesos?". After several replies from those pro and against the said dinner at Le Cirque in New York, one posted a comment that I think is worth blogging about.

In short, they focus on distributing complete Bibles or New Testaments. These Scriptures are printed in more than 80 languages and are either given directly to certain individuals or placed in selected public locations where large numbers of people who may be searching for answers will have the ability to encounter the Word of God.

Areas of Distribution

Scriptures are distributed one by one by members of The Gideons International to these groups:

• Students in the 5th grade and above
• Prisoners and police, fire, medical and military personnel
• Anyone else Gideons witness to individually

Scriptures are placed in certain locations, including:

• Hotels and motels
• Hospitals, convalescent homes, medical offices and domestic violence shelters
• Prisons and jails

So, if you have extra money to spare, why not reach out to the lost?

You'll never know who you can lead to the Lord unless you've tried.

*We have local chapters here in the Philippines too but I don't think the credit card facility and their website is working right now.
