Gideons International

          Gideons International is an evangelical Christian association founded in 1899 in Wisconsin.  The Gideons’ primary activity is distributing copies of the Bible free of charge.  This Bible distribution is a global enterprise taking place in some 200 countries, territories and possessions.  All donations to the Gideons go for the printing and transportation of Bibles–many to countries where traditional missionaries cannot go.  In forty-eight of the countries where the Gideons are organized, people struggle to survive; they will never own a Bible without some assistance.
