They couldn’t have done it without you, God Bless you all.

Both services were blessed last Sunday (the 8th) by Dr. Bertz from Gideons International.  Did you know that Gideons International is an interdenominational association of Christian businessmen and professional men who are members of Protestant/evangelical churches? Their members are dedicated to saving the lost through personal witnessing and the distribution of God’s Word in more than 190 countries around the world. (text from their website)

The majority of Gideons live and serve in their local communities, making this ministry very effective and efficient because . . .

• They know the local language and customs.
• They know where the hotels, schools, prisons, hospitals and other places where God’s Word needs to be distributed are located.
• Sometimes, The Gideons International is able to establish local groups of Gideons in countries where traditional missionaries aren’t allowed to go.
