Gideons International

Five of our members belong to Gideons International.  They are Kent and Cathy Erb, Ron and Jo Raschke, and Pat McCaskey. The ministry founded in 1899 serves as an extended missionary arm of the church and is the oldest Christian business and professional men's association in the United States of America. A board of distinguished Christian laymen, international in makeup, supervises the worldwide Gideon ministry, ensuring an efficient, economical operation.

The association has more than 236,000 members, located in 180 countries of the world. They are united in carrying out the same program using the same methods to accomplish the one objective of winning others to Christ.

The emergence of more than 2,000,000 readers in the world each week creates an unprecedented need for reading material. This offers a challenge to Christians to supply the tremendous void by making available God's Word. This is a primary function of The Gideons, placing and distributing Bibles and New Testaments in the human traffic lanes and streams of national life. Gideons as laymen, stand shoulder to shoulder as "missionaries" of local churches and their pastors in going to the four corners of the world to win others for the Lord Jesus Christ.

Annually, The Gideons International is placing and distributing more than 59,000,000 Scriptures worldwide.  A non-profit organization, The Gideons International is generously supported by pastors and churches who realize that presenting people with the gospel message is an indispensable element in winning people to Christ.

"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:
it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please,
and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." (Isaiah 55:11)
